I didn't notice any difference in the usability of Gnuk and the Yubikey NEO. I mean, i had to do the same things for both to configure and use them as they are both are "smartcards". What issues did you found with Gnuk?

I'm interested as for our local work (activism related) Gnuk showed up as the best alternative for price, openess and the possibility if something fails to not have to buy new hardware. Yubikey did the right thing with their latest "put your yubikey in the trash bug" giving a new one, but we don't live in the US and time can be a factor.

But still, Gnuk is far from perfect and the better it gets the better for us. Can you tell me about the issues you had so i can talk with gniibe to see if there are solutions for them?

Thanks in advance.

I didn't try gnuk - This is the first time I hear about it.

I was comparing NEO to other tokens I've seen and used - it's not worse, but non of them are as simple as I would like (and no, I don't know how to describe the simplicity I'm after).

Looks like the gnuk is a software implementation - do you trust it not to disclose the private key if it is physically accessible? If you do, why?

I trust the NEO to require more than what your average hacker can use at home - though, of course, I don't trust it against state actors, who probably have the fund and equipment to make any smart card apparatus "talk".
