OpenPGP is define by RFC2440 and as "open" as any RFC. The OpenPGP card Speification by Achim Pietig and me is very similar to an RFC. > an open implementation on a BasicCard but, due to licensing > restrictions, I am unable to get a card with RSA card built in and That is indeed a pity and the reason why we can't discose the source code of the card. Most of it is in Zeitcontrol's OS for the card and the actual application is very small. Thanks to the pay-tv's lawyers and the tv card crackers the problems on selling certain crypto cards exists. The rumour goes that they blackmail the chip vendors (like Atmel) to stop processing chips which are too easy to be used by tv card crackers. I call that "security through lawyers".
