Documentation: PGP and S/MIME simultanous use

[szszszsz]

Feature request to use both PGP and S/MIME together, simultaneously. Ticket for idea tracking. Since this is not a task for firmware implementation, tagging as invalid.

This is already working with OpenSC and GnuPG. The only downside is that you can not (at least easily) use slot 3 (authenticate) for GnuPG stuff. But OpenSC can nearly always used as replacement.

Scenario: Slot 1 = GnuPG key with SC usage flag Slot 2 = GnuPG key with E usage flag Slot 3 = S/MIME key + Cardholder certificate

The linked issues are partly misunderstood imho because they are about extending OpenSC based on new hardware possibilities but does not help for the PGP/S/MIME use case. (e.g. letting import multiple certs would allow two S/MIME keys in one card)

actually, I think this ticket can be closed

Is there any documentation describing how to initialize a Nitrokey to use it for both GPG and S/MIME? I believe this should be created before closing this ticket.
