Nitrokey 3 Storage
Add encrypted storage capabilities to Nitrokey 3
The Nitrokey 3 Storage project develops a next-generation variant of the successful Nitrokey Storage 2 USB security key that combines modern authentication and cryptographic token capabilities with high-performance encrypted storage functionality. Building upon Nitrokey's extensive experience in secure USB devices and leveraging a more powerful microcontroller with embedded eMMC storage, this project addresses the significant performance limitations of existing solutions while maintaining open-source principles. The development will also ensure the device is future-proof for post-quantum cryptography applications. Unlike proprietary encrypted storage solutions currently available, the Nitrokey 3 Storage will be fully open-source device to seamlessly integrate security token features with high-performance encrypted storage, providing organizations and individuals with a comprehensive security solution that bridges the gap between pure authentication devices and secure storage systems, while contributing valuable open-source reference implementations to the broader security community.
