OpenPGP card

OpenPGP card

In cryptography, the OpenPGP card[1] is an ISO/IEC 7816-4, -8 compatible smart card[2] implementation that is integrated with many GnuPG functions. Using this smart card, various cryptographic tasks (encryption, decryption, digital signing/verification, authentication etc.) can be performed.

Built on BasicCard,[3] OpenPGP cards can be obtained from a vendor[4] or by becoming a fellow in Free Software Foundation Europe.[5]

The smart card daemon, in combination with the supported smart card readers,[6] as implemented in GnuPG, can be used for many cryptographic applications. With gpg-agent in GnuPG 2, an ssh-agent implementation using GnuPG, an OpenPGP card can be used for SSH authentication also.

With Aloaha [7][8] there is also a commercial middleware for Windows available.
