TKey, an open source/open hardware security token

Day 1 | 14:30 | 00:30 | UB4.132 | Michael Cardell Widerkrantz

Note: I'm reworking this at the moment, some things won't work.

The stream isn't available yet! Check back at 14:30.

The Tillitis TKey is a radical new open source and open hardware FPGA-based general computer in the form factor of a USB security token. Due to the mandatory measurement of apps it generates secret material on demand, with no persistance, based on the integrity of the app and provides a secure environment to do sensitive computing like, for instance, cryptographic signing, authentication, and similar uses.

In the talk I will present how the TKey works, how it came about, and touch on how you develop apps for it, the tools available, and welcome you to join the open source projects behind it. With a small, dedicated team you can get a lot of things done, even with hardware designs using FPGAs and your own design of PCBs.
