Under "Smart card management", I would prefer "Smartcard / Crypto token management" title. Very few users understand that a crypto key is in fact a CCID reader with smartcard chip sealed. For example, the Feitian PKI and the ePass PKI token have the same chip. Also: "Each smart card deployment usually comes with a management interface or scripts to do these sort of things." is not very clear. In fact, proprietary solutions never work. I would suggest: "OpenSC is the standard management framework, which can be used to test insertion, to erase and initialize smart cards and modify PIN/PUK codes. Gnome-Keyring aims to support fully standard hardware, with native OpenSC driver and CCID interface. Proprietary hardware with OpenCT interface is not supported."
