Hi, I know that gnupg-agent can allow remote use of OpenPGP keys on a locally-connected smartcard machine to authenticate an ssh connection from one remote machine to another. Access to the OpenPGP keys is forwarded over the first ssh connection to the GPG agent as necessary, without actually transfering the keys over the wire. (Please correct me if I misunderstand this.)
What I'd like to do is forward access to those keys from the local machine to a remote machine, but instead of using them to authenticate ssh, I'd like to use them to sign or decrypt messages on the remote machine, with a remote copy of gpg talking to the forwarded gpg-agent just as it would talk to a non-forwarded copy on that machine. Is there a way to do this, or can it be added? I currently access my email via mutt over SSH, and therefore my private key is currently stored on that remote server. I am fully aware how bad of an idea this is, and so if what I ask above is possible, I plan to move my private key to a secure offline location, put subkeys on a smartcard that I take with me, and forward access to them over SSH to the remote email server for routine use. Hopefully I'm not the only one who wants this.
