Re: Import my old GPG private key in Yubikey Neo

It works! Again, thank you very much for your help. I am also inspired by this tutorial https://we.riseup.net/debian/using-the- ... th-subkeys .
Step 7 was very important for me because I never did a "key 1".

Quote:

7. move the encryption key above to the card:

$ gpg --edit-key $KEYID
Command> toggle [this sets you into secret key mode]
Command> key $NUMBER [select the encryption key above, it'll be the last one if you just generated it, and this command puts a * next to it]
Command> keytocard
Please select where to store the key:
(2) Encryption key
Your selection? 2
Command> save

Tools like gpg-agent cache the passphrase for some time, I think 10 minutes is default. You can force purge it by sending SIGHUP to gpg-agent, like "killall -SIGHUP gpg-agent".

The way to change the password is via "gpg --card-edit", the select "passwd" command. The OpenPGP applet has hardcoded minimum of 6 chars for password length and 8 chars for admin password.

(Maybe someone from staff should add some of the stuff from here into FAQ, especially the part about using the Neo Openpgp on multiple computers.)

Thank you for your help

I could actually use keytocard with version 2.2 gpg.
So I then used "gpg - list-secret-keys" that adds me "Serial No. Card = 0000 00000001"

Code:

ja@x220:~$ gpg --list-secret-keys 
/home/ja/.gnupg/secring.gpg
---------------------------
sec>  2048R/6AC871C1 2014-02-25 [expire : 2014-02-26]
 Nº de série de carte = 0000 00000001
uid                 name 
ssb   2048R/74F58795 2014-02-25

But, the Yubikey is never asked me when I want to decrypt. I was just wondering the pass of the secret key. I have a paramettre to add to the key?

And can you try again the keyParser.py script again with 2048 bit key? That seemed to work. Just don't delete the .gnupg dir

I think I used hand-compiled gnupg 2.0.22 for the "keytocard" part to work, but if it worked with the keyParser.py for you, then that shouldn't matter. Here's the related issue from github.

Thank you for your reply. Now I better understand the principle of private key on the key.

However, I can not use "keytocard". I had compiled from the git repo. In doubt I used your ".cap" but I have the same error.
I also tried killing gpg-agent

Re: Import my old GPG private key in Yubikey Neo

2014-02-25T11:26:08+01:00

First of all, you can't just delete ~/.gnupg, even if you moved key to smartcard. The key that you just moved to Neo is still on your keyring as secret key, but has a special "S2K" flag. This flag tells GnuPG that the private key is not present in the keyring as a file, but it has instead to ask the smartcard.

If you list "gpg --list-secret-keys", there will be a new line showing that the key is on the card now:

Code:

Card serial no. = 0000 00000001

If you want to use the keycard on another computer, you have to export the key fully and import it on the new computer using the usual "gpg --import". This is the part that might have been very counter-intuitive. On the new computer, the key will also require Neo physically inserted to be usable. The key is really moved to the card - you can check with with "gpg --list-packets" that will show you low-level packet format of PGP file.

-----
If the above did not help, here are few things you could try:

I am a bit worried about this part, it may indicate you have an old build of openpgpcard.cap after the "keytocard" command:

Quote:

gpg: error writing key to card: not supported

Where did you get the "openpgpcard.cap" file? The version that's for download from Yubico site may be the old one, without key import. I had to build the openpgpcard.cap myself from code in their git repo.

Does the OpenPGP applet work if you let it generate key according to the older manual (instead of importing existing key)?

You might also try to kill gpg-agent, and retry.

Here is an openpgpcard.cap I built from current github master, you might try that one, too. It's built from revision 3c11acaf6b93402f032d8ac91ed31f79eff96d7c (just one commit after 1.0.5 that only changes version number to 1.0.6).

I also tried with 2048 key and i have the same error. Tommorrow i try to reinitialise Yubikey with gpshell and upload 2048 key without sub key.
I'm not verry confident because i think i have already tried.

also keytocard (gpg --edit-key) dont work with me. i append log tomorow.

Re: Import my old GPG private key in Yubikey Neo

2014-02-24T18:11:53+01:00

This seems to suggest your RSA key had 4096 bit modulus, which is AFAIK not supported for Yubikey Neo, 2048 bit RSA is max:

Quote:

gpg : encrypted with RSA key 4096 bits

Later, in the gpg output it shows that the imported key is 2048 bit, according to the card (something got truncated somewhere?)

Quote:

I also found out that the import doesn't work correctly if you created extra subkeys for your key (I had to revoke one signing subkey).

BTW I used different method, moving keys directly to card with "keytocard" command from "gpg --edit-key".

Import my old GPG private key in Yubikey Neo

2014-02-24T16:37:49+01:00

Hello to all.

I would like to send my old private key on my YubikeyNeo . I follow the README repository: https://github.com/Yubico/ykneo-openpgp . The installation went very well and I use the script " keyParser.py " which also works fine except a regular expression in " parsingFunctions.py " because I 'm french . (line 121) :

Code:

regexp = r " ^ \ s + Footprint key = (+). ? " keyid + + "$"

By executing this script , I have an commande line that appears to play . eg

Code:

./keyParser.py e 00XXXXXX 12345678
opensc-tool -s '00 ...........'

I execute opensc-tool result and the key is added to the yubikey in Signature, Encryption and Authentication modes.
I test with a file:

Code:

gpg -ae test.txt

which create me well an encrypted file . It is trying to uncrypt that is more complicated :

Code:

gpg -d test.txt.asc
gpg : parts of the secret key is not available
gpg : encrypted with RSA key 4096 bits , XXXX identifier created on 2014-02-24
      " xxx x  "
gpg : decryption fails public key : general error
gpg : decryption failed : secret key not available

Why Gpg can not find my key?
