Preparation:
Firstly, make sure that OpenPGP Applet has been uploaded and installed into javacard, and you can select the applet successfully. Insert javacard into smartcard reader.

Generate Key:
There are two method to generate key.

Method 1:

In the "Enigmail Key Management" window, select File-> Manage SmartCard, Enigmail will connect the card automatically and try to select OpenPGP applet.


If successful, "OpenPGP SmartCard Details" dialog box will pop up. You can select Smartcard -> Edit Card Data to modify card information. Then select SmartCard -> Generate Key to generate key.

In "Generate OpenPGP Key" dialog box, select the mail account that you want to protect. Set the passphrase and the key expiration date. Then click Generate Key button.

Using this method, it will be failed to generate key sometimes.

So we can use the second method to do this.

Method 2:
Use console command to generate key. The following console command operations show how to generate key via this method:

The mainly used console command are: gpg --card-status, admin and generate.
Note:
