IBM JCOP with BlueZ applet

Supported cards: jcop31bio cards that include the “bluez” applet in their rom mask.

This includes the sample cards that you can sometimes (but not presently) buy from IBM.
We do not know if any of the manufacturers/resellers of non-application-specific ‘jcop30’
cards provide this rom (or even if any of the providers will provide cards
that are still in the OP_READY state).

jcop21id cards could work, they are fips compliant and thus require
secure messaging, and the opensc code has secure messaging, but
noone gave us feedback this far whether or not it works, so we have
assume that it does not :(

Note that pkcs15-init cannot initialize or erase jcop cards. There are no
free tools to do that in OpenSC.

A small tool to get some information about the cards can be found here:
