Nitrokey

Secure your digital life with a USB Nitrokey

Wednesday, January 27, 2016

IT security is currently a dominant topic in the media, and one that concerns everybody. Global hacker attacks and surveillance scandals continually shake the foundations of our world. Our mission and slogan is to “secure your digital life”. Nitrokey is a secure and easy-to-use USB key that aims to replace passwords and enable encryption wherever possible. Nitrokey has already been voted Germany's #12 tech startup. In the post-Snowden world in which we live, it is clear that security devices have to be open-source and use open hardware. Without open-source system security can’t be guaranteed and spy agencies can backdoor proprietary devices. This is why all our developments are 100% open-source and open hardware. Nitrokey is the only open security key available. Nitrokey Storage is a USB device that operates as a “digital latchkey” to protect your data and user accounts. It allows for the secure encryption of emails, files and hard drives, secure login on the web and contains encrypted mass storage for your files. The encryption keys are stored securely in the hardware at all times. Insecure and difficult-to-remember passwords are replaced with this secure and easy-to-use USB key.
