In theory you can create several *PGP keys with the same physical key on the smartcard. But there are some problems. It is better to use smartcard which allows to store/create several keys and not just the 3 keys we specified for the OpenPGP card. An updated specification of the OpenPGP card will support more keys. The drawback of this all is that smartcards may build up a defect and you would loose access to all your private keys.q Shalom-Salam, Werner -- The pioneers of a warless world are the youth that refuse military service. - A.
