The YubiKey NEO is the strong authentication bullseye the industry has been aiming at for years, enabling one single key to secure an unlimited number of applications. And all it takes to generate trusted credentials is a single touch on the YubiKey.
In a single device, The Yubikey NEO has both contact (USB) and contactless (NFC, MIFARE) communications. It uniquely supports One-Time Passcodes, smart card functionality, including OpenPGP and PIV, and the emerging FIDO Alliance Universal Second Factor (U2F) protocol.
UNIVERSAL 2ND FACTOR
U2F breaks the mold for high security public key hardware devices, removing the complexity of drivers, clients software and the traditional costly CA model. With FIDO U2F, one single YubiKey NEO or NEO-n can be used with any number of online services, with no user information and encryption keys shared between the service providers. In the near future, large scale online services will support FIDO U2F, enabling users to own and control their single and secure online identity for any number of services.
