Howzit;

Just a few days ago our jerks in the government sign and issue law about 
digital signature. They also show how it working a bit. Issuing authority 
verify identity of person and that person gets digital signature data on the 
smart card. Is there a development regarding to KMail and GPG (or something 
similar) which will make f.g. KMail able to use this signatures, reading keys 
from SmartCard?

I also see some open space for development in SmartCard readers which are 
necessary to read digital signatures from official cards. Is out there any 
resource or discussion connected with KMail and this official approach? Or 
once again M$ bought all rights and Just OutLuck (or Outlook?) users will be 
able to fulfill officials requirements?

I think that KDE and KMail, Konqueror and KNode combination have pretty bright 
future for Inet Cafes. That could be nice for users who don't have access to 
the Internet at home go to the public place with SmartCard and send signed 
message or identify themselves to the Inet Banking service.

I'm more "C" than "C++" man, but anyway I'm open to contribute if is some 
development out there. This could be a big practical issue.
