<p>I recently bought a Feitian PKI Smartcard. I've self-signed a
certificate on my Mac and then put it on the card, which worked
just fine. However, I can't see any way to access this key from
within GPGTools. I also don't see any option in GKA to use a key
from a smartcard, it only seems to support locally saved keys?<br>
Do I overlook something, or has this feature not been implemented
yet? If not, do you plan to?</p>
<p>Thanks for your help and keep up the good work! :-)</p>
<p>Regards,<br>
Alex</p></div>Alexandertag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/126252602012-01-03T22:02:14Z2012-01-03T22:02:14ZSmartcard support<div><p>As a matter of fact we're just starting to support OpenPGP card
(another user from our user list will look at it). Unfortunately,
nobody from our team has such a card.<br>
Just asking: do you know how to code? ;)</p></div>Alextag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/126252602012-01-03T22:40:35Z2012-01-03T22:40:35ZSmartcard support<div><p>Unfortunately, no. Just a bit of Java and Shell, but nothing
Mac-specific like Objective-C :-(<br>
But still it is nice to see you're beginning to support the OpenPGP
card. I think once the OpenGPG card works it shouldn't be that hard
to add support for other cards.<br>
As you certainly know, there is software like OpenSC (LGPL license;
<a href=

available for the Mac, which should make communicating with
different Smartcards /-readers not too hard, shouldn't it?</p>

smartcard support will be added this year ;)</p></div>Alex
