I have never quite understood what Monkeysphere does, or in what use
case it is useful.  Could you perhaps explain a bit more which users
such authentication would be useful for, and how the user would operate
to make use of these SSL client certificates?  Where would Monkeysphere
fit in?

I agree we should get PGP/GPG stuff into the default Freedombox setup,
and I would really love it for us ot support OpenPGP smart cards out of
the box, allowing us to store the GPG key on the box in a way that would
block it from being easily copied out of the box.

My initial testing using gpg2 and a smart card on Raspberry Pi did not
work.  I never had time to check why not, and hope the issue will not
block me from using GPG with RPI as my FreedomBox.
