Well you can use g13 to mount your ~/.gnupg from a small encrypted partition and that allows the use of a smartcard. I am using this for a decade to encrypt parts of my disk. It is a bit tricky because you need some symlinking for the non-encrypted ~/.gnupg. > It is my understanding that GnuPG only supports OpenPGP Card smart > cards. Is there another card type that would work? Sure. We support all kinds of cards. But for creating keys on a card you petter use either the OpenPGP-card or the PIV application (e.g. with a Yubikey). PIV is not that easy to setup as the OpenPGP card but it works. Another option is to use card which already come with keys - there is a multitude of them, CardOS, TCOS, PKCS#15 cards, and so on. For some of them you can also use Open Source software to create keys. Salam-Shalom, Werner -- The pioneers of a warless world are the youth that refuse military service. - A. Einstein
