#nitrokey

3 posts3 participants0 posts today

I ordered a #YubiKey for myself. I was originally going to get a #NitroKey as I much prefer their open source approach. Always support your local KMUs! (small businesses)

However, I really want to be able to unlock my #KeePass database on both #Linux and #Android with it.
The NitroKey 3 supports the proprietary YubiKey challenge-response protocol, but neither #KeePassDX + #ykDroid nor #KeePass2Android work with NitroKeys. (#KeePassXC on desktop does, though!)

What a mess this is…

Finally did activate the NXP SE050 Secure Element in my Nitrokey 3 and generated new on-device keys, by using the amazing "oct" (openpgp-card-tools).

Almost entirely using the modern rust-based openpgp implementations now:

- oct for card management and file signing
- openpgp-card-ssh-agent for SSH authentication
- rsop-oct for file encryption/decryption and package signing
- oct-git for git signing of my code commits

The only part, where I still rely on classic openpgp, is my MUA KMail, where alternatives aren't yet supported.

And it's still a pain, that modern GPG implementations aren't available as Fedora packages *sigh* but cargo works sufficiently well for now.

yubi can do most of the things you ask.
here is a good guide:

and here is another one:

As far as I know #nitrokey needs some extra steps in order to do some small things(wireguard key on the nitro, I don't remember if it works), other than that as it is open hardware and software it's the best choice in the market currently.
@lrvick may have an opinion about it.

Does anyone have experience with either #Yubikey, #Nitrokey or any other hardware security token for both #MFA/#2FA as well as #encryption via #PGP/#GPG or #SMIME?

In particular, I am looking at the Nitrokey 3A NFC. As far as I can tell, Yubico only sells #MFA tokens(?), unless the YubiKey 5 FIPS Series can hold encryption keys as well?

Both price and open hardware aspect definitely speak for Nitrokey, but I do not know anyone who owns such a token... Anyone who I can talk to?

Continued thread

Besides the #Nitrokey FIDO2, I also already have a Nitrokey U2F & a Solo Somu from #SoloKeys, so I wasn't too keen on paying 50€ + shipping for a new Nitrokey 3A Mini – a product I wouldn't need if my old key's firmware had been updated.

Instead, I bought a 🇨🇭 Token2 PIN+ Dual R3 whose hardware and firmware is also open-source and which costs only 25€ + shipping: token2.eu/shop/product/pin-dua #T2F2

The only downside is that #Token2 manufacture their products outside Europe (Nitrokeys are made in 🇩🇪).

As I need an Ed25519-SK SSH key generated with a hardware token, I tried to use my Nitrokey #FIDO2 for that, but: no.

Years ago, #ed25519 had experimentally been added to the firmware (not released) but later #Nitrokey stated that customers should've donated on top of the selling price to get firmware updates & advised to buy the new product instead.

The latter would be OK if the old key wasn't sold anymore, but it is still sold & the firmware was last updated in 2021.
