Re: pgpcard and opensc

Hi Christoph,

sorry, right now the openpgp card can only be modified with gnupg.
so you need to use gnupg to use it / create keys / store keys etc.

in theory opensc has an emulation that can be used so we can
use those keys on the card, too, but in practice I haven't heard
of anyone using it successfully for a long time. if you find time
to test, please report back, both success or failure, so we can
have a look.

also I'm not sure how good the other applications will work with that card.
nearly every app (except gnupg) expects some x.509 certificate on the
card and I have no idea if those can be created and/or stored with gnupg
on the card. but I think they can - at linuxtag I saw diagrams at the bsi
booth that indicate gnupg can do both pgp and smime so I guess it can
handle it.

Regards, Andreas
