Correct, Nitrokey Storage includes an encrypted mass storage (which Yubikey doesn't). Furthermore Nitrokey is open source and open hardware, allowing independent security reviews (we passed one audit already). > Does Nitrokey implement U2F in a similar way to Yubikey - secp256r1 > elliptic curve on the smartcard? Seems also Nitrokey doesn't have the > button required to press to activate U2F authenthication. Only Nitrokey U2F, which is a separate product, supports U2F. The others don't yet. However we are working to integrate U2F into the other products as well. >> Encryption of emails, hard drives, SSH, and other data via a highly secure >> smart card > > I can't see where the smartcard functionality is implemented.

Or is the "smartcard" implemented on the STM32? It's a completely separate smart card placed into a Micro-SIM socket. You can't miss the SIM socket in the layout and BOM. The smart card (OpenPGP Card) itself may not be in the BOM because it isn't sourced through the ordinary electronic distributors but from the vendor directly.
