Description
Feature description
Support for YubiKey USB devices in OpenPGP.
Reference implementation
https://github.com/open-keychain/open-keychain
Does another app/terminal emulator have this feature?
OpenKeyChain has this feature on Android
Provide links to more background information
Although OpenKeyChain supports this feature, the PGP implementation in OpenKeyChain doesn't support YubiKeys in such a way that it can decrypt files with a hidden receipt. This creates a problem with password-store (and the password store app) because password store encrypts keys such that the recipient is hidden. See here.
OpenPGP doesn't have this issue, and supporting it would open up possibilities to do signing and key verification on git and any other applications that support PGP.
