Hello,
Please add "Smartcards" (i.e. "Qualified Digital Certificates", as defined by the EU legislation) as hardware category.
"Qualified Digital Certificates" are USB tokens containing a digital X.509 private keys. They are used for signing and encrypting documents.
Their use is regulated by the EU, subject to legal requirements. The "certificates" are mandatory and widely used.
Inserting such a category will allow the Free Software community to investigate these more deeply, since nowdays most smartcards require non-free software.
Thanks,
Răzvan
