What we do is to lookup the key on a configured LDAP server. This allows to start using a new box immediately by simply inserting your smartcard. It is a feature for largers deployments. > I have tried it out with a couple files encrypted with a public key > that got lost recently but the private key remains in my smart card. $ You need to get the public key or re-create it. To do this you need to know the creation time. This can be done by looping over a range of dates - unfortunately tehre is still no tool to do this. > Am I using this feature in the correct way?
