Introduction |
|
============ |
|
|
|
|
|
What's Gnuk? |
|
------------ |
|
|
|
Gnuk is an implementation of USB cryptographic token for GNU Privacy |
|
Guard. Gnuk supports OpenPGP card protocol version 2, and it runs on |
|
STM32F103 processor. |
|
|
|
This document explains about Gnuk 1.2, which comes with ECC algorithm. |

|
Cryptographic token and feature of Gnuk |
|
--------------------------------------- |
|
|
|
Cryptographic token is a store of private keys and it computes cryptographic |
|
functions on the device. |
|
|
|
The idea is to separate important secrets to independent device, |
|
from where nobody can extract them. |
|

|
Development Environment |
|
----------------------- |
|
|
|
See :doc:`development` for development environment for Gnuk. |
|
Gnuk is developed on the environment where there are only Free Software. |
|
|
|
|
|
Target boards for running Gnuk |
|
------------------------------ |
|
|
|
Hardware requirement for Gnuk is the micro controller STM32F103. |
|
In version 1.2, Gnuk supports following boards. |
|
|
|
* FST-01 (Flying Stone Tiny ZERO-ONE) |
|
|
|
* Olimex STM32-H103 |
|
|
|
* ST Nucleo F103 |
|
|
|
* Nitrokey Start |
|
|
|
|
|
Host prerequisites for using Gnuk Token |
