I didn't send my public key to a keyserver right after
creation. Fortunatly, a friend of mine had a copy of my public key.
Isn't it possible to create the public key again with the card?
(Assume I didn't send the public key to anywhere/anyone and have only my
smartcard!)
If it isn't possible a short note should be added to the documentation to
remind everyone to backup the public key immediately after creation.
Kind regards
