Every smart card and every smart card reader is different and therefore it's sheer luck if scdaemon (and thus Kleopatra which relies entirely on scdaemon) supports a smart card or a reader that is not explicitly supported. > When trying to use the GPA.exe alternative, it just freezes when I click on > the "smartcards" button; not sure if it's related. Maybe GPA doesn't handle the errors that scdaemon reports correctly. In any case, GPA is not actively developed or maintained anymore (https:// dev.gnupg.org/source/gpa/history/master/). > I was never able to get the SC-HSM to work with GnuPG, even though it is > supposedly supported. I'm not sure this is correct. According to `man scdaemon` some "SmartCard-HSM card application" is supported, but `man scdaemon` goes on "The SmartCard-HSM cards requires a card reader that supports Extended Length APDUs.". This implies that scdaemon supports some "SmartCard-HSM" that is available as a smart card which needs to be inserted into a smart card reader. Your SC-HSM 4K seems to be a USB token, i.e. it includes a smart card reader. I guess it's _not_ supported by scdaemon and/or pcsc. Regards, Ingo
