I've had a quick look at the PKCS#11 and I think that you may have a point! >I don't understand why gpg developers choose to implement their own >smartcard standard...

I think MUSCLE (Movement for the Use of SmartCards in a Linux Environment http://www.linuxnet.com) uses PKCS - I could be wrong though, I need to read through it in more detail. >You can look for messages with "PKCS#11 support for gpg-agent" subject >for future information at gnupg-users. I saw that... Perhaps we should "fork" GPG and work on a PKCS#11 compliant version... I'm fairly new to smartcards, but I have a fair bit of other programming experience... I don't think it would be too difficult to implement with the libraries that are available once I get hold of a suitable card... -- Benjamin [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
