If you're worried about this you should be able to find a smartcard reader with PIN entry that GnuPG supports. That way you never enter your PIN on the computer. It doesn't prevent a trojan from signing something other than what you intended (if it's your master key on card, even another key or a new sub-key) but whether this is a problem depends on your threat model. -- PGP: A0E4 B2D4 94E6 20EE 85BA E45B 63E4 2BD8 C58C 753A PGP: 2C23 EBFF DF1A 840D 2351 F5F5 F25B A03F 2152 36DA _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
