I wrote in a pre­vi­ous blog post that I want to switch to crypto cards for use with ssh and GnuPG. After some research I set­tled on the OpenPGP cryto cards. I ordered them from ker­nel­con­cepts. As soon as they arrive (and I have some free time), I will start to use them and write down how to work with them with FreeBSD.

   I bought 5 crypto cards (and they arrived today). One for my pri­vate email address gpg key, one for my FreeBSD email address gpg key, one for FreeBSD.org-machines ssh login, one for ssh logins from home to any­where except Freebsd.org-machines, and one for ssh logins from on-the-road.

   The tokens I’ve seen are more expen­sive than a crypto card. If I would have bought 5 tokens, I would have paid more than for 5 cards + card reader.

   By chance I’ve got also an Aladdin eTo­ken Pro 72k to play around with. If I get it to work, I will report about it too.
