Nitrokey HSM GnuPG

[ddavidebor]

GnuPG 2.1 supports Smartcard-HSM.

Quote from the Nitrokey website

If you didn’t do so already, change the default User PIN (default: 123456) and Admin PIN (default: 12345678) to your own choices. See these instructions. Generate new keys or import your existing RSA keys. Note that a Nitrokey initialized with OpenSC doesn’t work with GnuPG/OpenPGP. But the other way around works fine.

I’ve been unable to use GnuGP with a smartcard HSM Is there a tested init procedure to achieve that?

Best regards,

gpgsm supports Nitrokey HSM but not the common “gpg --card-edit” way of doing things. Sorry, we don’t have good instructions yet. Please help us by sharing your steps.
