Comment on Improving the security of your SSH private key files

Comments

There's Crypto-Stick [0], a security USB key with many interesting features. It's essentially an OpenPGP card with some added features.

What excites me about their project is a very simple file-system based interface they are planning to implement for their upcoming version. Plug the key in, it looks like a regular USB key, put a file in a specific place, get an encrypted/signed/whatever file from the file system from another place. No driver or software required. I hope their project takes off and people start buying these keys. The price is a little high right now (59,00 €) and it is currently not available.
