/* Virtual Smart Card protocol definition
 *
 * This protocol is between a host using virtual smart card readers,
 * and a client providing the smart cards, perhaps by emulating them or by
 * access to real cards.
 *
 * Definitions for this protocol:
 *  Host   - user of the card
 *  Client - owner of the card
 *
 * The current implementation passes the raw APDU's from 7816 and additionally
 * contains messages to setup and teardown readers, handle insertion and
 * removal of cards, negotiate the protocol via capabilities and provide
 * for error responses.
