RISE GnuPG Presentation

A placeholder for notes and links related to the GnuPG presentation at RISE.

  • The presentation will be centered around Linux, but I will try to include Windows and MacOS as I can.
  • The approach I use to manage GnuPG is drduh/Yubikey-Guide. This is the main resource that I would recommend people review beforehand, but it should not be essential.
  • The links in the docs section are useful but not essential.
  • After detailing the high-level components, I hope to walk through the initial configuration of the Yubikey OpenPGP app on a Linux VM.
  • After this, I plan to discuss some common problems users can encounter.

Then, I will cover applications of GnuPG and Yubikey:

  • starting from simple: SSH; signing emails or commits; etc
  • covering other use-cases: accessing tokens with unix `pass`; creating & decrypting x509 certificates without creating plaintext files
  • and covering increasingly advanced usage as time permits

Docs

Middleware to access a smart car using SCard API.

To troubleshoot `gpg-agent` and Yubikey interactions on Linux, it’s crucial to have at least a high-level understanding of these components.

  • `pscsd` runs as a system service to interface with the smartcard via CCID
  • `gpg-agent` spawns `scdaemon` to interact with `pcscd`.
