The OpenPGP Card specification defines "Private Use Data Objects" that you may use to store arbitrary data.

You can write to those DO using the "privatedo" command of the GnuPG's card editor. For example, to send the contents of the test1.txt file to the private DO #1:

  $ gpg --card-edit

  gpg/card> privatedo 1 < test1.txt

Caveats to be aware of:

* In versions 2.0 and 2.1 of the OpenPGP Card specification, private DOs are limited in size to 254 bytes each. (In version 3, there is no upper limit fixed in the specification.)

* Private DOs are optional and not all implementations support them. (Yubico's Yubikey NEO does not, for example).
