YubiKey NEO as an OpenPGP token
Posted on
I was first interested in the idea of using a smartcard to store OpenPGP subkeys when I joined the Free Software Foundation Europe as a Fellow and recieved my FSFE Fellowship Card. By performing all cryptographic operations on the smartcard it would remove almost all the routes by which the secret key material could be compromised as the host operating system never has access to that secret material. I decided that this was something I wanted to try out and I purchased two Cherry G83-6644 keyboards.
