Sure, it is possible.  Actually there is no need to copy the
secring.pgp because a gpg --card-edit or --card-status should create a
fresh key stub.  Along with the fetch command in --card-edit this
should make it all pretty easy.

However, I just tested it and there seems to be a problem. A debugger
needs to be thrown on import.c:auto_create_card_key_stub to see what
is going on.

Moving computers with an OpenPGP card

2006-07-14 Thread Tristan Williams
Hello,

Is it possible to arrive at a new computer which has a known working
card reader and installation of gpg with only your OpenPGP card and be
able to sign/encrypt?

i.e arrive at computer, download and import your public key, insert
smart card and then be able to sign/encrypt? I have not been able to
do this (though by copying my secring.gpg which has the key stub I
can) and wondered whether it was possible?

Kind regards

Tristan Williams
