As part of the work on getting smart cards into Seahorse, there’s some design work that needs to be done to make the new functionality usable. In particular, the overarching design goal is that Seahorse isn’t a tool we expect users to “learn”. Actions should follow mostly from …
I’ve been working on an importer for keys and certificates that can work with PKCS#11 key storage, such as smart cards, NSS or gnome-keyring.
Here’s a demo of it in action. If you want to try this out yourself, you’ll need:
