Using the smartcard wallet
Requirements
- A USB smartcard reader
- A keycard that supports the status app
Preparing the smartcard
You can use status' keycard-cli and you should get version 2.1.1 of their smartcard application
You also need to make sure that the PCSC daemon is running on your system.
Then, you can install the application to the card by typing:
keycard install -a keycard_v2.1.cap
Then you can initialize the application by typing:
keycard init
Finally, you need to have the card generate a new master key:
keycard shell <<END
keycard-select
keycard-set-pairing PAIRING_KEY PAIRING_INDEX
keycard-open-secure-channel
keycard-verify-pin CARD_PIN
keycard-generate-key
END

}]
