You can't do anything about it.  The card protects your key against
compromise - but not the use of the key.

For the signing key we have a signature counter and if you can memorize
the count and the number of signatures you did, you have a way to detect
malicious use of that key.  Better malware could of course also present
you a different count - checking on a clean machine would detect that,
though.


Salam-Shalom,
