Hi Damien,
I was referring to the discussion around RSA vs. ECC in
https://crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/60392/choice-of-ecc-curve-on-usb-token/60394#60394
I read several texts of people preferring RSA over ECC.
That's an excellent answer, thanks for posting this!

That is because the Nitrokey token includes a Zeitcontrol card which
only implements the government approved curves. If that ever changes we
can close the feature

Curve25519 is not NIST ECC. It is ECC.
"ECC" = "Elliptic Curve Cryptography", it

Im not fully sure but i guess for your purposes you would need Nitrokey

I'm not sure I want ECC after reading this:

Moreover, Nitrokey Storage only supports NIST and Brainpool, nothing
else.

thank you for the information.
Hello,
Why not Curve25519, if you use ECC?

Quite interesting opinion. I wonder what kinds of side channel attacks
are discussed there.
Hi,
I would like to get a usb token to secure my keys. My use case is
protection of 3 GnuPG keys that I will be using 10 times per day at
least. I plan to create a new key ring from scratch. Because ECC seems
more future-oriented than RSA, this is what I chose to use. I'm
wondering which usb
