The central argument I've been making in this thread is not the promotion of smartcards, it is something best summarized by the quote from the Laurie-Singer paper: "...the general purpose operating system is fundamentally inadequate for trusted operations." The problem has grown immensely since that paper was written, so that today *it affects the average gpg user*. The use of smartcards is to me only a welcome sign that a growing segment of gpg users appears to agree with that proposition. They should be helped and advised how to better tackle the problem, instead of being told that the problem exists only for those that face some arcane class of adversaries with mythical powers. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
