This sounds like what it would have to be built around is: - a secret key in the card plugged into your computer, so that "man-in-the- middle" attacks couldn't be performed; and - a keypad on that card, so you enter your PIN there, not on your computer that could be keylogged. For the first point: instead of using the secret key in the card routinely, a second-level key that you go to the bank, stick your card in a terminal there, and refresh on the card might be what is directly used to get around man-in-the- middle. It certainly is possible to design a system of this general nature that is secure. This, however, concerns a different issue entirely than the one I was talking about. John Savard
