PKCS#11 in GnuPG (yes, again!)

[Sébastien Lorquet]

Please get the facts: There is PKCS#11 support for GnuPG.  See

nice piece of software, but what about the reverse, eg using other cards
with gnupg?

What about OpenSC? Was this already discussed in the past? They provide a
pkcs11 lib that may be usable. Or is the problem in the PKCS11 API itself?
