No, there does not appear to be. I think it could be very useful to support private keys from smartcards in GnuTLS, but it would perhaps be even more useful to have generic out-of-process private key handling (like ssh-agent from OpenSSH does) so that developers could implement a smartcard-capable private key backend directly as a plugin. This is a counterpoint to the idea of an external certificate validation agent, which was at one point fleshed out here: http://redmine.josefsson.org/wiki/gnutls/GnuTLSExternalValidation but that page seems to currently give a 404 error (Simon, the whole redmine instance seems to be gone -- is this something you already know about?) Jonathan, do you have a specific smartcard that you would like to support? --dkg
