I do use GnuPG based on OpenPGP SIM cards even in my Linux telephone
(Pusim L5) for crypting files, ~350 passwords (password-store) and SSH
connections (the RSA secret is on the OpenPGP card). All works fine and
gives access to the secrets by entering a 6 digit PIN:

                     ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────┐
                     │ Please unlock the card                       │
                     │                                              │
                     │ Number: 0005 0000A6FE                        │

                     │                                              │
                     │ PIN ________________________________________ │
                     │                                              │
                     │      <OK>                        <Cancel>    │
                     └──────────────────────────────────────────────┘


The problem with any automation, anyway if with GnuPG or not, is how to
enter the passphrase or PIN to get access to the private key.
