Yep. Keys stored on smart cards are not affected since not even the host computer has access to those keys. As a side-note. If you use for example Yubikey you could create your private key on a secure computer (offline, LiveCD, take your pick) and import it to the smart card. It can't be exported, but that way you have a backup. // Fredrik ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Put Bad Developers to Shame Dominate Development with Jenkins Continuous Integration Continuously Automate Build, Test & Deployment Start a new project now.
