This is not full PKCS#11 provider and has many limitations of implementation and many other inherited from OpenPGP specification.
Examples: 1. Limitation of 1024 RSA key size. 2. Requirement to hold the certificate within gpgsm and not on card. 3. Complex communication between application->provider->gpgsm->gpg-agent->scdaemon. 4. Partial implementation of PKCS#11, one bug I remember is fork() compliant. Others that I already forgot. Alon.
