Can BitLocker support smart cards for pre-boot authentication?

BitLocker does not support smart cards for pre-boot authentication. There is no single industry standard for smart card support in the BIOS, and most computers either do not implement BIOS support for smart cards, or only support specific smart cards and readers. This lack of standardization makes supporting them very difficult.
