Yes. Go to menu "Tools | PGP | Preferences | Files" and check option
"Store Private key in a Smart Card" and select Com port.

But I don't know, if TB supports Your Smart Card manufacturer. There are
many manufactures and many API's. Try this and if it will doesn't work,
send message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with name of manufacturer and his WWW
support page, where are informations about their API/SDK.

pgp key and smartcards

[plaga]

hi list

is it possible to store the entire private key into a smartcard and use
this card with the bat ? 

if not, this would be a nice feature for future versions, cause with this
feature you can use the key on your computer on work without any privacy
problems..

and by the way... is there a possibility to develop a kind of plugin for
that problem ?

i would be very pleased to get an answer

regards

sven
