But how konqueror will know which interface to use when it initiate
TLS/SSL session?
And if I just write https://asdsadsad/sadsad in kplayer will it use
the smartcard enabled interface?

So actually you suggest two TLS/SSL implementation in KDE.

I just don't understand why can't we have one TLS/SSL interface that
can be used by all application and support all cryptographic mode.


Maybe I am missing something... I will be grateful if you refer me to
some documentation regarding these issues.
