Hi Werner,

How to generated an authentication key off-card ?

Because when I generate it by : 

gpg2 --edit-key <my_key_id>
commande > addkey
RSA (sign only)

and make a keytocard to authentication, it's appears on sign key (S) and not authentication key (A) .

Thanks in advanced for your answer.

Best Regards

Hi Werner,

Sorry, but I've need more informations about it.

I tried this :

gpg2 --edit-key <my_key_id>
commande > genkey => commande invalide , may be you wanted to say addkey ?, but in this case what choice : RSA (sign only) or RSA (encrypt only) ?

Thanks in advanced for these informations and your answer.

Best Regards

Yes.  You need to generate the key off-card and and then put it onto the
card.  Use gpg --edit-key and the subcommands genkey and keytocard for
this.

No.  An on-card generated key can't be extracted from the card (except
for the public part of course).


Shalom-Salam,
