Dear GnuPG, I am already using GnuPG for a long time. But try to improve my understanding of and working with it. I became a member of Free Software Foundation Europe, and got a smartcard. I wanted to use it.
And that is where the trouble started: I intended to copy all my personal keys to the smart card. In Kleopatra, I selected "Tools/Manage smartcards" Then I selected "Import a certificate from a file", and selected files from my laptop. I was under the impression that I was copying files to the smartcard. By doing so, I not only selected my private key but also my revocation key (because, why should I enable a thief of my laptop to revoke my key?). And then it appeared that I had revoked my entire key pair. Unintended! Apparently, under smartcard management, I was not at all copying files to the smartcard. Apparently, I was doing something else. Did I at all copy files to the smartcard? Questions: Can I UNrevoke that key? How can I see what is on the smartcard? How can I copy files to the smartcard? I studied the GnuPG Smartcard How-To (www.gnupg.org/howtos/card-howto/en/smartcard-howto.html), but that is entirely linux oriented. I am working on a win7 system. Can anyone help me further? Thanks! Roland
