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 token to choose as well as which curve.
On https://www.gnupg.org/(it)/faq/whats-new-in-2.1.html 2 it is said that many people think NIST and Brainpool have a doubtful origin therefore they recommend the non-standardized Bernstein’s Curve 25519. On https://support.nitrokey.com/t/choice-of-curves-on-the-storage-2/1192/3, the author says that (1) he is not aware of profound critic on Brainpool curves and (2) Bernstein’s Curve 25519 is hard to protect against side channel attacks when being implemented in embedded devices. As a result, I'm a bit lost in what key/curve to choose. -- Damien Cassou http://damiencassou.seasidehosting.st "Success is the ability to go from one failure to another without losing enthusiasm." --Winston Churchill _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
