Dear GnuPG users, I am new to this list, so please be gentle.
At some point in the coming months, I may try to obtain an OpenPGP smart card and reader. At the moment, such combinations, whether separable or combined into a single device, seem to be available in two form factors, neither of which is ideal: 1. USB-key sized devices, e.g.: Crypto Stick; Yubikey NEO; conventional USB stick-sized readers (e.g. Omnikey 6121) + ID-000 (SIM) sized OpenPGP card. 2. Full-size (ID-1) card + reader. In group 1 above, none of the devices I have found online offer secure PIN entry. In group 2 above, the smallest reader I have found online which offers secure PIN entry is the ACR83. My question to you is: does anyone manufacture a smart card reader compatible with the OpenPGP card (or containing an implementation of one) that offers secure PIN entry AND is (nearly) as compact as the CryptoStick, NEO, etc? Bonus points if it is also waterproof, tamper-evident, etc. (I am imagining that such a device would physically resemble a datAshur[1], LOK-IT[2], Flash Padlock 2[3] or similar, but perhaps with an ID-000 card slot inside. If such a device doesn't yet exist, then given the success of the CryptoStick and Yubikey NEO, I suspect there would be a market for such a device; perhaps crowd-funded via Indiegogo, Kickstarter, etc.) Many thanks in advance for your assistance, Sam [1] http://www.istorage-uk.com/datashur.php [2] http://www.lok-it.net/ [3] http://www.corsair.com/en/usb-drive/flash-padlock-2-usb-drive.html _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
