This is an Alpha Release for the Nitrokey 3. This is NOT intended for production use, make sure you have backups for your keys/logins before updating your Nitrokey.

To flash the alpha firmware, download the correct firmware image and update with:

nitropy nk3 update <downloaded-file>

You can always update back to the stable firmware using:

nitropy nk3 update

Known issues:

  • Updating from a previous alpha release will require a factory reset of the OpenPGP smartcard application after the firmware update.
    This can be done using by installing OpenSC and running the following command:
    opensc-tool -s 00:A4:04:00:06:D2:76:00:01:24:01:00 -s 00:E6:00:00  -s 00:44:00:00
    
    This selects the OpenPGP application on the card and then resets it. Warning: unplug any other OpenPGP smartcard before running this command. Please make sure you have at least libccid version: 1.5.0 otherwise Nitrokey 3 won't work through CCID.

Changes:

  • Supporting all Nitrokey 3 devices now (Nitrokey 3A NFC, Nitrokey 3C NFC, Nitrokey 3A Mini)
  • opcard updated to v0.2.0
    • now including RSA support
    • only 2048bit keys can be generated
  • otp first release v0.3.0
