    Nitrokey 3 Status Update

    So far, we have produced and shipped a few hundred Nitrokey 3C NFC (i.e. the ones with the USB-C connector). However, production has not yet ramped up as we had originally planned. This is because there are still problems soldering the USB-C connector reliably. To fix this, we have already improved the production process in several iterations. We expect to be able to solve the problem in the next few weeks and then ramp up production.

After that, the Nitrokey 3C NFC will be available to order directly from our online store without waiting.

    OpenPGP Card Alpha For Nitrokey 3

    OpenPGP is an open standard to encrypt, decrypt and sign documents, files and emails, which is mostly used with GnuPG. Storing cryptographic keys on a smart card such as the OpenPGP Card enables users to securely and conveniently use the same key across multiple devices. In case the device is lost, cryptographic keys remain securely in the device and can't be extracted.
