For those who have not used them, these are
stored by TCS on USB Tokens, which look like USB Pen drives but are
read-only 32KB drives with processors built in. You are supposed to
insert in the token in the UCB port and then ask the Online-Form to
pick up the digital certificate from the token and add it to the
document to submit to the government.
I guess they have the users private key on an ordinary USB device. Don't get
the part about 32KB drive with built in processor!! hogwash?
It doesn't matter where it is stored as long as one can ensure its not
stolen! Am sure gpg can very well be used on linux.
