short list of recommended card readers?

2016-09-28 Thread Daniel Pocock


Can anybody make recommendations for a short list of card readers,
preferably with PIN pads?


I've got the SPR532[1] and found it works fine but it is no longer
listed on the vendor's web site[2], I've previously tested Reiner SCT
cyberJack Secoder 2 and found it didn't[3] work.  I'm looking at what to
recommend for other people trying the clean room live DVD[4]


This list appears to suggest choosing one of the 6 readers that support
variable length PIN, although the first on the list is the SPR532 (no
longer in production) so it is not clear if this is current:

https://wiki.gnupg.org/CardReader/PinpadInput

Is that a good list to refer people to, or can anybody suggest changes?


I came across this list:

https://www.gnupg.org/howtos/card-howto/en/ch02s02.html

Is that considered up-to-date?  Some of the readers appear quite old
now, should somebody starting today buy one of those or something newer?


Debian has a list of card readers that appear to be supported by
drivers, but it is quite long and doesn't really make any recommendations:

https://wiki.debian.org/Smartcards#Supported_Hardware


The FSFE guide doesn't give any recommendation about choosing a reader,
although it does emphasize the use of readers with PIN pad:

http://wiki.fsfe.org/TechDocs/CardHowtos/CardWithSubkeysUsingBackups#On_PIN_security


PC/SC Lite has a list, it is also rather long though:

recording and retrieving "secrets" into gpg files

2016-09-28 Thread Arbiel (gmx)
Hi

Seahorse (distributed within Ubuntu) allows for the storing and retrieving of 
"secrets", as passwords, into what I understand to be gpg keyrings, or at the 
least, files.

Y've been through pgp's manpage and several tutorials without finding any clue 
as how to record those
secrets and get them back at a later time.

Thanks to anybody who will inform me on the commands to be used, or direct me 
to a tutorial containing such informations ?

Seahorse stores passwords in the Gnome keyring, which is not related to
PGP -- it uses symmetric encryption based on an iterative password
hash. Try the docs for "gnome-keyring"?
