Hello eyeryone, I´ve got a special question concerning GnuPG and smart card My question is: How can I import a (sec-pub-)key which was generated on a crypto stick (containing an integrated smart card) into another crypto stick? A crypto stick like: http://www.privacyfoundation.de/crypto_stick/crypto_stick_english/
Normaly it should work by using the keytocard-command: http://www.gnupg.org/howtos/card-howto/en/ch05.html#id2523191 But in my case (and I guess I´m not the only one) the process can´t conclude. See my example here: ___________________________ office:~ home$ gpg2 --edit-key F4C8.... gpg (GnuPG/MacGnuPG) 2.0.14; Copyright (C) 2009 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Replace existing key? (y/N) y gpg: secret key is already stored on a card Command> _____________________________ The problem seems to be either that GnuPG blocks importing the key because the key is already stored on another card. Or GnuPG „things“ the key is already stored on the card on which I want to import the key. Is there a way to work with a trick in order to „persuade“ GnuPG to do that nevertheless (to allow the key-import). Does anyone know the trick? A big thanks in advance Kola _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
