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->provide

I agree to these limitations and would love to get rid of them by having an open and pkcs#11 compatible implementation. But we do not have the capacity and experience to develop such a smart card right now. Therefore any support to develop such an open smart card implementation is more than welcome

Hi Alon! Currently I am testing your pkcs#11 extension for gnupg. An pkcs#11 compatible open source implementation of a smart card or USB stick is something that we are planning for v2 in the future. Alon Bar-Lev schrieb: > Best is develop PKCS#11 provider and not OpenPGP specific. > As PKCS#11 is

Best is develop PKCS#11 provider and not OpenPGP specific. As PKCS#11 is the interface applications use. You will be able to use GPG using [1] if you like without more effort. Alon. [1] http://gnupg-pkcs11.sourceforge.net/ On 10/15/08, Jan Suhr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi! > Currently we ar

Hi! Currently we are developing an USB stick based on the OpenPGP smart card as an open source project. This is basically a simple smart card adapter based on the IC FT2232D (http://www.ftdichip.com/Products/FT2232C.htm). Linux includes modules to communicate with the FT2232 in general but not spec
