About Nitrokey

Nitrokey builds open-source, open-hardware security devices — FIDO2/WebAuthn keys for phishing-resistant authentication, OpenPGP smartcards, encrypted USB storage, and hardware security modules. Their firmware and hardware designs are publicly auditable, a rarity in a market full of black boxes.

Engineered in Germany with a privacy-first philosophy, Nitrokey is trusted by security teams, developers, and privacy-conscious organizations that want to verify — not just trust — the roots of their hardware.
