Pull request overview

Prevents runtime panics in smartcard secure-channel APDU decryption by validating ciphertext length before attempting CBC decryption/unpadding.

Changes:

  • Add a ciphertext length guard in decryptAPDU to reject empty inputs and inputs not aligned to aes.BlockSize.
  • Return a clear error (invalid ciphertext length) instead of panicking on malformed responses.

💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.
