This is a guide to using YubiKey as a SmartCard for storing GPG keys.
An authentication key can also be created for SSH using gpg-agent.
Keys stored on a smartcard like YubiKey seem more difficult to steal than ones stored on disk, and are convenient for everyday use.
Instructions written on Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) using YubiKey 4 in OTP+CCID mode.
Debian live install images are available from [here](https://www.debian.org/CD/live/) and are suitable for writing to USB keys.
If you have a comment or suggestion, please open an issue on GitHub.

Please select what kind of key you want:
(1) RSA and RSA (default)
(2) DSA and Elgamal
(3) DSA (sign only)
(4) RSA (sign only)
Your selection? 4
RSA keys may be between 1024 and 4096 bits long.
What keysize do you want? (2048) 4096
Requested keysize is 4096 bits
Please specify how long the key should be valid.
0 = key does not expire
<n> = key expires in n days
<n>w = key expires in n weeks
<n>m = key expires in n months
<n>y = key expires in n years
Key is valid for? (0) 0
Key does not expire at all
Is this correct? (y/N) y
You need a user ID to identify your key; the software constructs the user ID
from the Real Name, Comment and Email Address in this form:
"Heinrich Heine (Der Dichter) <heinrichh@duesseldorf.de>"
Real name: Doctor Duh
Email address: drduh@users.noreply.github.com
Comment:
You selected this USER-ID:
"Doctor Duh <drduh@users.noreply.github.com>"
Change (N)ame, (C)omment, (E)mail or (O)kay/(Q)uit? o
You need a Passphrase to protect your secret key.
We need to generate a lot of random bytes. It is a good idea to perform
some other action (type on the keyboard, move the mouse, utilize the
disks) during the prime generation; this gives the random number
generator a better chance to gain enough entropy.

Note that this key cannot be used for encryption. You may want to use
the command "--edit-key" to generate a subkey for this purpose.
## Create revocation certificate
$ gpg --gen-revoke 0x47FE984F98EE7407 --output $GNUPGHOME/revoke.txt

Please select the reason for the revocation:
0 = No reason specified
1 = Key has been compromised
2 = Key is superseded
3 = Key is no longer used
Q = Cancel
(Probably you want to select 1 here)
Your decision? 1
Enter an optional description; end it with an empty line:

ASCII armored output forced.
Revocation certificate created.
Please move it to a medium which you can hide away; if Mallory gets
access to this certificate he can use it to make your key unusable.
It is smart to print this certificate and store it away, just in case
your media become unreadable. But have some caution: The print system of
your machine might store the data and make it available to others!

## Back up everything
Once keys are moved to hardware, they cannot be extracted again (otherwise, what would be the point?), so make sure you have made a backup before proceeding.
$ cp -avi $GNUPGHOME /mnt/offline-encrypted-usb/backup/
## Configure YubiKey
$ ykpersonalize -m82
Firmware version 4.2.7 Touch level 527 Program sequence 4
The USB mode will be set to: 0x82
Commit? (y/n) [n]: y
>The -m option is the mode command. To see the different modes, enter ykpersonalize –help. Mode 82 (in hex) enables the YubiKey NEO as a composite USB device (HID + CCID) and allows OTPs to be emitted while in use as a smart card. Once you have changed the mode, you need to re-boot the YubiKey – so remove and re-insert it.

Please decide how far you trust this user to correctly verify other users' keys
(by looking at passports, checking fingerprints from different sources, etc.)
1 = I don't know or won't say
2 = I do NOT trust
3 = I trust marginally
4 = I trust fully
5 = I trust ultimately
m = back to the main menu
Your decision? 5
Do you really want to set this key to ultimate trust? (y/N) y

# Notes
- Don't write to drduh@users.noreply.github.com, open an issue on GitHub instead.
- Programming YubiKey for GPG keys still lets you use its two slots - OTP and static password modes, for example.
- ECC may be preferred to RSA 4096, but the 1.4.x branch of GnuPG does not support it.
- If you encounter problems, try unplugging and re-inserting your YubiKey. Also try installing and using GnuPG 2.x (`sudo apt-get install gnupg2` and `gpg2`)
