[NBLUG/Announce] Yubikey/SmartCards for Linux Security Talk @ NBLUG meeting 2018-01-09

Hello NBLUG members! With more and more information coming out about how insecure nearly every computer is, come find out how to make your computer use just a bit more secure... When: January 9th, 2018 7:30 pm Speaker: Robert Thille Location: O'Reilly Media at 1005 Gravenstein Hwy N, Sebastopol, CA in the Tarsier conference room past the metal statue and to the right (http://nblug.org/locations <http://nblug.org/locations>) Title: Enhancing Linux security with a Yubikey/Smart-Card Description: In this presentation, Robert will go over how to setup and use a Yubikey to store PGP keys and PKI certs such that without physical access theft of the keys is just about impossible, and even difficult with physical access. Other security enhancements like hardware password stores (Mooltipass) and air-gapped machines will be covered. Further, I'm sure there will be discussion of the recently disclosed Meltdown and Specter attacks.
