Hi,

maybe i miss something, but what would be a normal use case?

Mostly a smart card has own mechanisms for access control  e.g. by using pin,
biometrics or so for operations like sign.
In case of private keys it is mostly forbidden to read them per default.

Would be nice if you could explain your intentions in more detail.

Thanks in advance

Best regards

Hans-Martin
