SmartCard...
Hello ! I'm trying for the first time GPG with a SmartCard (chip card) and it doesn't work despite the device is recognized. I'm trying with my ID card and with my bank card, but none works. I get this message: === Begin Windows Clipboard === gpg: detected reader `ACS CCID USB Reader 0' Please insert the card and hit return or enter 'c' to cancel: Please insert the card and hit return or enter 'c' to cancel: Please insert the card and hit return or enter 'c' to cancel: c gpg: selecting openpgp failed: general error gpg: OpenPGP card not available: general error === End Windows Clipboard === Could someone give me some explanation related to what features I could expect from GPG, providing those smartcards haven't been created with GPG itself? -- Laurent Jumet KeyID: 0xCFAF704C ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users

Errr... you need the OpenPGP smart card to us it with GnuPG as a key-storing smart card. This does not work just with any card ;) Cheers nils -- kernel concepts GbRTel: +49-271-771091-12 Sieghuetter Hauptweg 48Fax: +49-271-771091-19 D-57072 Siegen Mob: +49-176-21024535 http://www.kernelconcepts.de ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users

So, public parts (from my primary key and my subkey) formed my public key and the same goes to the private parts and my private key. Is that correct?

"Public key" is frequently shorthand for a number of public keys stuck together with some OpenPGP glue, and the same is true for private keys.

Re: digital signature primary key and encryption subkey
Thanks again, David. The last dumb question, I promise, would be: how can I see my primary key and my subkey as well?

gpg: key generation failed: Card error
Hi, I cannot create keys on my shiny new v2 smartcard. Personalizing the card works just fine, as does changing PINs. But when I want to generate new keys I always get this error message (after gpg asked about how long the key shall be valid): gpg: key generation failed: Card error Key generation failed: Card error That's on a stock Slackware 13 system, gpg (GnuPG) 2.0.12, libgcrypt 1.4.4 with OMNIKEY CardMan 4040 v1.1.0gm5.
