Yes, you can do that. In fact we are doing this already with the OpenPGP smart card and Scute. > Also, is it not (theoretically) possible to convert X509 key > certificates to PGP key signatures or vice-versa, based on the > numerical values of the signing certificates/keys ? It does not buy you anything unless you have not enough space to store both keys (the case of a smart card).
