Differing subkey algorithms #43

Closed duxsco closed 2 years ago

duxsco commented 2 years ago

I have created my GnuPG keypair with ed25519 primary key and nistp521 subkeys due to the limitations of smartcard j3h145. Unfortunately, there are currently no smartcards supporting JavaCard 3.1 on the market. I figured out that I can only use the smartcard for ssh if the authentication subkey is of type RSA, nistp256 or nistp384. nistp521 doesn't work at all although I cannot find any suspicious output in ssh -vvv:

The command smartpgp-cli switch-p384 changes the type of all subkeys. Is there a way to only change the authentication subkey type? gpg --card-edit doesn't work for me.

I have written down my smartcard installation steps here: https://github.com/duxco/gpg-smartcard

OK, I just need to comment out: https://github.com/ANSSI-FR/SmartPGP/blob/fbce42483f274694d0c76a51aec061e83219de28/bin/smartpgp/highlevel.py#L134-L135

But, it would be nice having flags for above scenario.

Closing, my question has been answered.
