Use both gpg-keycard and pkcs#11/X.509 at the same time?

Hi,

to me, the documentation and feature description is not very clear about X.509/pkcs#11 and the gpg keycard functionality. Can both be used at the same time with a Nitrokey Pro 2 or can I only choose one of them?

Cheers

Hi,

generally it is not supported to use the OpenPGP and the S/MIME standard at the same time. On the other hand, the hardware of the Nitrokey Pro 2 and Storage 2 may indeed enable such a combined setup. But this is more of a future idea of mine, which a) needs to be tested and b) needs change to OpenSC first, to work. Therefore, we need to stick to a “you can not combine” for now.

Kind regards
Alex

I see - thank you. Maybe this could be pointed out more clearly in the docs? Also, the feature matrix of the product on the website could be understood as if using both at the same time is already supported today - at least, this is the way I understood it.
