Hello,
You are wrong in this regard: PGP is widely
adpopted (and what is your definition of
the world?). And it makes perfectly sense
to have both worlds.
I won't argue with that...
But the trend is not in favor of PGP.
OpenPGP offers a completely different trust
model which suits the needs

But it does not say that GPLed software cannot use PKCS#11 interface
in order to access none GPLed tokens!
Read the GPL again and you will see that this is not possible.

I am hoping to use GnuPG to encrypt some database flat file backups. My
initial testing worked great, no issues. However I have started testing
with some slightly larger files - currently 5.7GB in size. I have tried
it with the default compression on and with a '-z 0'. The gpg file gets

Well it is as much a standard as pkcs#15 is one. Who decides what a
standard is? RSA Corporation defines standards known

Thank you Olaf,
I see your point regarding PKI, I am familiar with it.
I want to focus the discussion for the smartcard support, this
