AFAIK, there is no way for Tomcat (on a server) to interact securely
with your data card (on the client) in a secure way. The best way you
can do this kind of thing is via some browser plug-in or OS-based
solution that can verify that the card is actually present, then take
some data from the server and encrypt it with the secret stored on the
card, then send it back to the server.

Tomcat does not have anything like this available.

Maybe someone on the list who knows how those kinds of authentication
systems work can comment on your options. I'm sorry... I don't know
anything about this realm of authentication (pun intended, unfortunately).
