Worth mentioning that it seems that the USB-C OpenPGP app may support RSA 4096. I'd love to upgrade my yubikey ssh key from RSA 2048 -> 4096.

Currently my YubiKey Neo only supports RSA 2048 as it's a hardware limitation of the NXP A700x chip used inside.

All yubikey 4 support 4096 for GPG. If you use pgp auth key and gpg-agent for ssh, this is ok.

The yubikey also supports PIV. There you still can only use 2048.


YubiKey 4 supports 4096-bit RSA. But it's not USB-C.


But that's what the article is about?... The YubiKey 4C. A YubiKey 4 that supports USB-C.


Why? RSA-2048 isn't threatened.
