Hello,
But it does not say that GPLed software cannot use PKCS#11 interface
in order to access none GPLed tokens!
Read the GPL again and you will see that this is not possible.
I have... and did not find the place.
Can you please refer me to the exact item where you find the
restriction?
I am sorry to read that... I think it is a good standard... Just like
any RSA Security
PKCS#* standard... at least it is a standard that most programmers
like PKCS#12 :-)
I don't understand why you guys did not rewritten the PKCS#7, PKCS#1,
PKCS#8, PKCS#9
pkcs#7 is nowadays called CMS. It is used by gpgsm. pkcs#1 is even
part of OpenPGP.
Well... so what is the problem of using PKCS#11 why can you
use all the other PKCS#* and cannot use PKCS#11?
The whole new work of gpg 1.9 was to migrate to S/MIME... Why!?!?!?!
You could have been very happy in your close PGP format world.
Even if the standards are ugly, they at least work!
Depends on the standard.
Well, PKCS#11 works for everyone... except for you guys...
I am responsible of replacing software/suggest correct software for
using smartcards.
Currently gpg is on my black list... And because of this I tried to
As said in my other mail to gnupg-devel: If you have a commercial
interest. talk to me about implementing pcsk#11 - but don't expect to
get something for free. I have laid out the path on how to implement
a pkcs#11 library to make use of gpg-agent/scdaemon as a token. It is
also possible to write a pkcs#11 thingy for just that card.
I don't have a commercial interest, I just want to help...
Lately I've tried to use gpg to encrypt some of my stuff, and
found the proprietary requirements... So I searched and
searched... and read the gpg-agent source, I could not believe
that you invent the wheel!
And here we are...
I don't meant to write another agent. Write a pkcs#11 driver which
uses gpg-agent as its token.
This is the WRONG WRONG WRONG approach!!!!!!!
Well, my opinion is different.
When I understood that I've promised not to bother you again... :)
Best Regards,
Alon Bar-Lev.
