Does anyone know if the new OpenPGP 2.0 card supports Hushmail keys? >From what I understand Hushmail is based on OpenPGP so it should work. The key I have from my Hushmail account is 2048bit in length but once I copy the key onto the OpenPGP 2.0 card I can't decrypt Hushmail email anymore, any idea why?
Also, if I generate a brand new key pair ON the OpenPGP 2.0 card, will anyone be able to export or copy the private key (if the OpenPGP card is NOT inserted in the reader)? Does GPG write a copy of the keys anywhere else besides on the card? I know it asks you when you generate the key pair if you want to store an off card copy for backup purposes but I selected no for this. What I don't understand is that when I generated a brand new test key pair on the OpenPGP card and then removed it from the reader I was still able to export the keys to a file from key management in Thunderbird, can someone explain this? I thought the private/secret key was ONLY on the card when generated this ways so that no one could get to it to brute force it etc? Thanks everyone! ;-)
