I understand this is a bit old, but I believe the concept is still current:
http://www.gnupg.org/howtos/card-howto/en/smartcard-howto-single.html#id2507429 Essentially, can anyone confirm why it is recommended to only store subkeys on a smart card? a) is it because of the risk that the card might be lost or damaged? b) or is it because of the risk that a smartcard may fall into the wrong hands? If the primary key was generated on a PC and stored onto two smart cards and they were both kept in secure locations and only used in a secure location, is it therefore quite acceptable to use the primary key on a smart card and potentially more secure than keeping it on a disk? _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
