Re: #2, I can't find the JCOP specifications anywhere. Does JCOP even have a dedicated website? Re: #3, that's a bit weird because the book "Java Card Technology for Smart Cards: Architecture and Programmer's Guide" claims that GlobalPlatform is just an extension of JavaCard that adds extra features. It seems to imply that JavaCard contains the basic mechanisms used to install/remove applets and do authentication. Have I missed something?

The video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oj2l0X8D4y0&hd=1 and includes basically a quick run-through of what to install, building a program, installing to a Java Card, and talking to said program via Python. It's very very basic but sometimes that's what you need.

I believed that 10 failed authentications were needed to kill a card, but this function is killing them promptly.
