The URL apparently doesn't work :-(

This one should:
http://www.cardhub.com/edu/chip-and-pin-vs-chip-and-signature/

It is not very hard to see why we after 25 years with the web can't
do card payments on the web: the US banks use stone-age tech.

Unfortunately I have found out that my new country, France (the
home of the smart card), haven't been able to make them usable on
the Internet either.  The French government will probably use
Google's U2F which offers full browser integration, something
the traditional smart card makes, Microsoft and the US banks
never got to work.
