I have a securely generated and stored PGP key on a smartcard. I wish to
use my smartcard for email signing & decryption. Problem is that I am
unable to do this since my current CAC reader does not have a built in
pin entry. No point in smartcards if a keylogger can just simply harvest
the pin then make use of the smartcard for signing/decryption whenever
it is plugged in. This is a very real possibility. In fact there is a
case where malware has done this in the past on DoD systems.
All the smartcard readers I have seen are unnecessarily massively bulky
the size of a brick or untrusted hardware. What are recommendations for
a compact CAC reader with built in pin entry from a trusted brand that
works with GnuPG smartcards?
