The other day I was looking at pictures of George W Bush at the Emma E Booker Elementary School in Sarasota, Florida on September 11th, 2001, and that’s how I found out that the NSA used to store encryption keys in a piece of hardware that looks like an actual key
It’s called a KSD-64, and from what I can tell, it was a simple EEPROM, and didn’t have a whole cryptoprocessor like modern security tokens or smart cards, but also it was invented in the 1980s for use in encrypted phones.
Anyway, I think we should bring the form factor back. It had 28 contacts, so it could totally do USB-C.
