With the availability of modern software based cryptographic solutions personal data privacy is available to anyone. However stringent password requirements raise the barrier of entry for wide adoption. SeKey is an open hardware platform which acts as a keyboard via the HID protocol. A SeKey aware application communicates via status LED modulation. Configuration is flexible and up to the end user, but the envisioned use case is a 4 digit pin with 3 retries before chip zeroing retrives a 512 bit secret via simulated key presses. An initial hardware release will be demoed along with a discussion of future security considerations.
