Pinpad Input Support

It is possible to input PIN (your pass phrase) by card reader's pinpad (if available).

However, using with OpenPGP card, you need some configuration. This is because of a glitch between the specification of OpenPGP card and existing card readers implementations. In the specification, its pass phrase is defined as variable length. Unfortunately, there are some card readers which don't support variable length pinpad input, and there is *no standard way* to distinguish if a card reader supports variable length pinpad input or not.

If your card reader supports variable length pinpad input, good. Please write configuration line:

  enable-pinpad-varlen

If not, you need to write "login" data object to specify PIN length by a specific way. Please see CardReader/GemaltoPC.

List of card readers which support pinpad input with variable length

For known card readers, you can omit the configuration above. The list is coded in scd/apdu.c (for PC/SC service) and scd/ccid-driver.c in GnuPG.
