Hardware-based SSH/GPG/age agent

This project allows you to use various hardware security devices to operate GPG, SSH and age. Instead of keeping your key on your computer and decrypting it with a passphrase when you want to use it, the key is generated and stored on the device and never reaches your computer. Read more about the designhere.

You can do things like sign your emails, git commits, and software packages, manage your passwords (withpassandpassage,among others), authenticate web tunnels and file transfers, and more.

See the following blog posts about this tool:

• TREZOR Firmware 1.3.4 enables SSH login
• TREZOR Firmware 1.3.6 — GPG Signing, SSH Login Updates and Advanced Transaction Features for Segwit
• TREZOR Firmware 1.4.0 — GPG decryption support
• A Step by Step Guide to Securing your SSH Keys with the Ledger Nano S

CurrentlyTREZOR One,TREZOR Model T,Keepkey,Blockstream Jade,Ledger Nano S,andOnlyKeyare supported.
