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?

"EFF has joined more than 80 civil society organizations, companies, and cybersecurity experts in signing a letter urging the European Commission to change course on its recently announced “Technology Roadmap on Encryption.” The roadmap, part of the EU’s ProtectEU strategy, discusses new ways for law enforcement to access encrypted data. That framing is dangerously flawed.

Let’s be clear: there is no technical “lawful access” to end-to-end encrypted messages that preserves security and privacy. Any attempt to circumvent encryption—like client-side scanning—creates new vulnerabilities, threatening the very people governments claim to protect.

This letter is significant in not just its content, but in who signed it. The breadth of the coalition makes one thing clear: civil society and the global technical community overwhelmingly reject the idea that weakening encryption can coexist with respect for fundamental rights."
