probably consider getting a new auth key doodle

but honestly, the "hidden" functions of the device have turned out to be mostly useless for me, the one thing i use it for now is basically an instant password sender as a virtual USB keyboard

which is instantly cloneable of course lol

the other stuff, pssh, honestly, what i know about elliptic curve cryptography and security

THERE IS NO DEVICE EXISTING THAT SIMPLY ACCEPTS A HASH AND SENDS BACK A SIGNATURE

and this is a market aching need, right now, and it's not that hard to fix, i'm pretty sure there is devices that can boot in a second that have computational capacity to make a signature only, and nothing else

btw, did you know:

standard google authenticator uses SHA1 hashes

sooner or later one ought to plant face to some of horror stories, and deal with its resolution the best possible so risk of getting rekt if otherwise...

honestly, i just want a little thing that signs a hash when i plug it in... then there is no cloning risk

only stealing risk

in that case the goal is not collision resistance but generating unique numbers from a secret and timestamp

which has still not been attacked successfully
