gpa.exe hungs when click on "smartcards" AND scdaemon cannot recognise SC-HSM

[Minas Argyrou]

My apologies for the late response. So, you are suggesting that the reader might be the problem? Because, as far as I know, they are a very common reader and the same reader works for OpenSC, PKCS11, Windows minidriver etc. for both the SC-HSM and every other card I have tried. I couldn’t find definitively if it supports Extended-Length APDUs though, it is just not mentioned in any of the technical specifications of the company.

I am using the latest GPG4Win package released. You have mentioned some samples, would it be possible that you try them when you have some time? Any suggestions for a card reader besides the ACR38U-N1?

Thanks, 
Minas

Never got them to run properly.  Just stay way from this reader type.

I have samples here but unfortnately did not came around to test them.

However, there are updates to the pkcs#15 handling in the latest GnuPG
releases.  You may want to check that you are using 2.2.35 or 2.3.6.
