ok, i've just checked the v1.1 spec for internal authenticate. it says
that: "the input data shall be a DSI compliant to PKCS#1. the card does
an internally padding and calculates a signature with the corresponding
secret key for authentication".

The List of abbreviations does not mention "DSI", neither is it mentioned
in PKCS#1v2.

Interpretation, please? :)
