The best hardware security keys for activists & dissidents
activists & dissidents have a specific threat-model. Activists, organisers and dissidents face adversaries with subpoena power, network-level intercept, and physical search. The kit below is the hardened baseline: de-Googled mobile, faraday isolation, hardware keys, and storage that resists coercion. Below are the hardware security keys that fit that profile and that we have actually shipped to readers in this role.
