GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 530439
Please add GnuPG Smartcard support
Last modified: 2020-06-06 08:52:27 UTC
Forwarded bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/185563 Seahorse provides an gnupg-agent emulation. However, that agent does not work with GnuPG Smartcards. It would be nice if it could handle gnupg smartcards, like the fsf fellowship gnupg smartcard, or http://www.kernelconcepts.de/shop/products/security.shtml?hardware See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenPGP_card for more information on the GnuPG Smartcard.
Is someone offering to provide hardware to one of the maintainers?
Please note that the hardware is pretty cheap. USB devices can be ordered at kernel concepts for about 20EUR plus shipping. I bought myself a PCMCIA device for 11EUR at ebay. http://www.kernelconcepts.de/shop/products/security.shtml?hardware Does gnome have a bounty program for organising hardware/feature request donations?
Hi! I wonder if there is any news on this issue?
Nope :P but if I get a new laptop, we'll probably get support for fingerprint readers as it will probably have one.
I have the same request. seahorse support to OpenPGP card as gpg-agent do (see bug #540557). If you have a smartcard reader I can provide you an OpenPGP smartcard. Thanks Daniele
*** Bug 540557 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
There are no GnuPG agent in seahorse anymore, so I think this bug is not relevant anymore.
See bug 644415, this bug should probably be closed.
seahorse-plugins is not under active development anymore: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Infrastructure/Infrastructure/issues/257 It had its last code changes many years ago: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/seahorse-plugins/-/commits/master Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is deprecated) if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
