Mailing List Archive: Smartcard readers: Cherry ST 2100

Hi,

just wanted to report that that Cherry ST-2100 smartcard reader
responded without further configuration on Debian Buster
with gnupg2-2.2.20-1~bpo10+1.

Do we have a good place to collect experience reports about devices
and tokens?

Just tested gpg --card-status, do we have a good test (plan) or list
what people would want to know about a cardreader or security token?

Is it possible to test a security token and then completely reset it
into the state before (aka factory reset)?

== Details
My Linux (the famous kernel) said
usb 7-3: new full-speed USB device number 2 using ohci-pci

https://wiki.gnupg.org/SmartCard collects some information and further
references.

https://wiki.debian.org/GnuPG/CCID_Driver (referenced on the above page) lists
"smartcard readers and tokens supported by the GnuPG's in-stock CCID driver".

Depends. Some tokens can never be fully reset (e.g. TeleSec NetKey). Others
can be reset for example with gpg --card-edit's factory-reset command (which
may or may not be present in gpg 2.2.20) or with the (currently unreleased)
gpg-card's factory-reset command. (gpg-card, the new administration tool for
smart cards, will be part of GnuPG 2.3.)

Ingo
