SmartCard...

Hello !

I'm trying for the first time GPG with a SmartCard (chip card) and it doesn't work despite the device is recognized.
I'm trying with my ID card and with my bank card, but none works.
I get this message:

=== Begin Windows Clipboard ===
gpg: detected reader `ACS CCID USB Reader 0'
Please insert the card and hit return or enter 'c' to cancel:
Please insert the card and hit return or enter 'c' to cancel:
Please insert the card and hit return or enter 'c' to cancel: c
gpg: selecting openpgp failed: general error
gpg: OpenPGP card not available: general error
=== End Windows Clipboard ===

Could someone give me some explanation related to what features I could expect from GPG, providing those smartcards haven't been created with GPG itself?

Errr... you need the OpenPGP smart card to us it with GnuPG as a
key-storing smart card. This does not work just with any card ;)

Actually the Belgian ID card will work with gpgsm and gpg-agent's Secure
Shell support. The cards needs to have the extra certificates of course
(iirc, they are optional but can be loaded to a plain id card).

Shalom-Salam,
