Please let me know the situation, how timeout occurs.
There are two places for timeout of pinpad input.
(1) Reader's timeout for execution of PC_to_RDR_Secure message.
Host specifies this timeout. Currently, we don't use this
feature. The reader waits validation key (Enter) pressed (with
no timeout).
(2) Host PC's timeout for waiting reply of RDR_to_PC_DataBlock.
This is low-level thing. In GnuPG's ccid-driver, it's 30 secs.
I think that the reader usually sends back "timer extension"
to host PC to ask waiting again (before the expiration).
I will check for PC/SC.
