YubiKey USB security token


I recently obtained YubiKeys from Yubico. It's a USB hardware token able to act as a keyboard device to input characters (a HID) and also has a little button. It supports different modes:
  • Yubico OTP Mode: Yubico implementation + server
  • OATH-HOTP Mode: standard HOTP as per RFC 4226
  • Static Password Mode: output the same static string
  • Challenge Response Mode: no HID, software challenges the token and gets a response
