The secure key for your digital life.

Stores your data encrypted and secures access to your accounts. Protects against hackers and espionage – private and professional.
With Nitrokey Storage your data is stored securely encrypted and can be kept with you securely at all times. Hidden storage allows you to plausibly deny the existence of encrypted data. The Nitrokey Storage helps you to encrypt your emails and protect your accounts against identity theft. With strong hardware encryption, made reliable thanks to open source, quality made in Germany.

Use Cases

• Protect Online Accounts Against Identity Theft
  Nitrokey is your key for secure login to websites (e.g. Google, Facebook). One-time passwords (OTP) and conventional static passwords are supported.
• Encrypt Emails
  Encrypt your emails with GnuPG, OpenPGP, S/MIME, Thunderbird or Outlook. Your private keys are securely stored in the Nitrokey and cannot be exported or stolen.
• Encrypt Files in the Mobile Storage Unit in Case of Loss
  Carry important data around with you, always automatically hardware-encrypted in the Nitrokey Storage, independent of the operating system.

• Securely Administrating Servers With SSH
  Securely store your SSH keys in the Nitrokey at all times. Your key is PIN-protected and cannot be exported or stolen from the Nitrokey. This means that you can bypass the insecure and tedious process of synchronizing key files between client systems.
• Internet of Things (IoT) and Protecting Your own Products
  Protect your own hardware products using Nitrokey integration. Ideal for remote maintenance and for ensuring product authenticity.

• Encrypt and Hide Data During Border Controls
  Hide sensitive data on the Nitrokey Storage so that its existence cannot be proven. Hidden data is encrypted using an additional password and cannot be distinguished from empty storage space. By default no hidden volume is used. This allows you to plausibly deny the existence of encrypted data, for example during border controls.
• Keep a Secure Operating System With you at all Times
  Securely boot Linux directly from Nitrokey Storage. Nitrokey Storage protects the system against manipulation, such as the installation of surveillance software via „Evil Maid“.

• Protect Your Data Against Espionage
  Encrypt field workers’ entire hard drives by means of TrueCrypt/VeraCrypt or individual files by means of GnuPG. The private keys are thereby securely stored in the Nitrokey.
• Active Directory Integration
  Roll out certificates to the Nitrokey via central Active Directory.
• Desktop Login
  Log in easily at your local computer desktop with the Nitrokey.
  

For Computer Manufacturers – Protect BIOS Integrity

• Your users/customers verify the integrity of the computer BIOS with the help of Nitrokey and Verified Boot. The colored LED of the Nitrokey indicates, if the BIOS‘ integrity is intact (green) or a manipulation has been detected (red).

Features

• Hardware Encrypted Storage (16-64 GB)
  Automatically encrypt your data with secure hardware encryption. Your files are protected against unauthorized access, whether you are at home, in the office, or traveling, and regardless of operating system or computer.
• Hidden Storage for Highly Sensitive Data
  Establish hidden volumes in order to plausibly deny the existence of additional encrypted data, for example during border controls. The hidden data is encrypted with a second, separate password and cannot be distinguished from empty storage space. By default no hidden volumes are used. This means, without the password, it is not possible to detect whether or not a hidden volume was created.
• One-Time Passwords for Protecting Accounts Against Identity Theft
  Protect your accounts against identity theft. One-time passwords (OTP) are generated in the Nitrokey and function as a secondary authentication factor (2FA) for logins (additional to your normal password). Thus, your accounts remain secure, even in the event that your passwords are stolen.

• Secure Storage of Cryptographic Keys
  Securely store your private keys for the encryption of emails, hard drives or individual files in the Nitrokey. They are thereby protected against loss, theft and malware, and can be kept with you at all times. Key backups protect against loss.

• Secure Firmware Updates
  Keep up-to-date with security and technology by firmware updates. Protect yourself against manipulated firmware by reviewing the authenticity and integrity of installed firmware yourself.

• Password Manager
  Securely store your passwords encrypted in the integrated password manager. This allows you to keep your passwords with you at all times and keep them protected even if the Nitrokey is lost.

• Integrity Verification / Tamper Detection
  Verify the integrity of the computer BIOS with the help of Verified Boot. The colored LED of the Nitrokey indicates, if he BIOS‘ integrity is intact (green) or a manipulation has been detected (red). Supported computers are required to have a BIOS based on Coreboot and Heads (e.g. Purism Librem, Insurgo PrivacyBeast, Nitrokey NitroPad).
