I have some JCE and java.security classes that uses a PIN that must be
entered plus some physical keys that need to be inserted. There isn't any
standard call-back for such devices. It would be really nice to have a
callback that can ask for:
1) A PIN to be entered
2) A Key to be inserted
3) A Key to be removed
4) Notify that a key is inserted/removed

I have written such interfaces, and would love to have them included in the
standard, even if no-one else currently implements them. I currently have
3 different devices needing these call-backs and expect to have 5-7 of them
within the next year.

Thanks,
Bill.
