Yes it does. And it's pretty cheap too. I have an OpenPGP v2 smart card and an SPR-532 smart card reader. I will be writing up how I did it on my blog at https://grepular.com/blog/ probably next week. Need to find an hour or two to write the thing up.

I picked up an OpenPGP card and reader a few months ago and love the technology. My only beef is that the reliability of the software that talks to the smartcards is awful on the Mac.

Right now, it's definitely an approach to take if you are crypto nerd -- it's not ready for regular humans.
