I don't think you want to authenticate against the token, but to something on it, like a cert, so that you validate access to the token, not just possesion of it.

If you are talking Linux logons you should be able to use free certs from any provider, I think startcom has a tutorial on how to use their certs for that.

If you are talking about windows active directory, StartCom provides windows smartcard logon certs, they are free for the first few users and very inexpensive after that. ;

what about the card / token serial number (it's part of the
CK_TOKEN_INFO
structure) and at least opensc uses the unique ICCSN in case
of cardos
token for this.
