I know he makes that distinction and I agree with him that it doesn't matter in practial terms, but I would say that it still matters in principle. It should be free, even if I cannot change it personally. He may or may not disagree with that stance, but I don't know that. > If you want a free implementation of an OpenPGP compliant token, you > should look at gnuk <http://www.fsij.org/category/gnuk.html>. Thank you for telling me about that. I will have a look. To be fair, I don't really need a smartcard right now anyway. I am happy having my GnuPG keys on an encrypted hard drive. That does not protect against every kind of attack, but it is good enough at the moment (and I get to use larger keys). Happy hacking!
