This is a practical guide to using [YubiKey](https://www.yubico.com/faq/yubikey/) as a [SmartCard](https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/38924/how-does-storing-gpg-ssh-private-keys-on-smart-cards-compare-to-plain-usb-drives) for storing GPG encryption and signing keys. This is a guide to using [YubiKey](https://www.yubico.com/faq/yubikey/) as a [SmartCard](https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/38924/how-does-storing-gpg-ssh-private-keys-on-smart-cards-compare-to-plain-usb-drives) for storing GPG encryption and signing keys.
An authentication key can also be created for SSH and used with [gpg-agent](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/188668/how-does-gpg-agent-work/188813#188813). An authentication key can also be created for SSH and used with [gpg-agent](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/188668/how-does-gpg-agent-work/188813#188813).
Keys stored on a smartcard like YubiKey are more difficult to steal than ones stored on disk, and are convenient for everyday use. Keys stored on a smartcard like YubiKey are non-exportable (as opposed to keys that are stored on disk) and are convenient for everyday use. Instead of having to remember and enter passphrases to unlock SSH/GPG keys, YubiKey needs only a physical touch after being unlocked with a PIN code - and all signing and encryption operations happen on the card, rather than in OS memory.
Instructions written for Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) using YubiKey 4 - with support for **4096 bit** RSA keys - in OTP+CCID mode, updated to GPG version 2.2.1. Some notes are included for macOS as well. Note, older YubiKeys like the Neo are limited to **2048 bit** RSA keys. Please see a comparison of the different YubiKeys [here](https://www.yubico.com/products/yubikey-hardware/compare-yubikeys/). These instructions are current to Debian 9 using YubiKey 4 - with support for **4096 bit** RSA keys - in OTP+CCID mode, using GPG version 2.2. Note, older YubiKeys like the Neo are [limited](https://www.yubico.com/products/yubikey-hardware/compare-yubikeys/) to **2048 bit** RSA keys. Debian live install images are available from [here](https://www.debian.org/CD/live/) and are suitable for writing to USB drives.

Programming YubiKey for GPG keys still lets you use its two slots - [OTP](https://www.yubico.com/faq/what-is-a-one-time-password-otp/) and [static password](https://www.yubico.com/products/services-software/personalization-tools/static-password/) modes, for example.
