I'm interested in storing my SSH keys and gpg keys on a smartcard for added security. However, I'm a bit uncertain on a few points, which are as follows:
- How many keys can I get on a card? I assume both SSH and GPG can store keys on the card.
- Is there a limit to key size? I see a lot of cards saying they support 2048-bit keys, what about larger sizes?
- Hardware: can anyone recommend a card/reader combination that works well? I've done a fair amount of research and it seems PC/SC readers can be a bit iffy - is this your experience?
- Have I missed anything I should be asking? Are there any other hurdles?
I'm aware fsf europe give away cards with membership - I'm not sure I want to join, but... are these cards any good?
Thanks Broam, very interesting. I'm going to leave this open to see if anyone has any more ideas for now but thanks for the answer. – None – 2010-04-20T19:25:57.860
