Hello people,
This is my first blog post. I operate this blog to provide updates on my participation in Google Summer of Code (GSoC). I was accepted as a student participant in FOSSASIA's program for Nitrokey (http://www.nitrokey.com) Briefly, Nitrokey is a USB device that handles public and private cryptographic keys for secure email transmission or data storage; I would deeply encourage you to visit their website for more information. Our mission is to implement the FIDO U2F authentication protocol (https://www.yubico.com/applications/fido/). But what the protocol is, that is a whole blog post by itself and I'll get to it later. :)
You can see the device in the pictures below, and I'll post updates as soon as I have them. This white flat surface that you may have seen on credit cards is the smartcard responsible for the secure cryptographic function. Sounds fun, doesn't it?
So long, and thanks for all the fish.
