# Inbyggd frihets TKey-hackathon
2+
3+
Saturday the 25th October,
4+
Inbyggd-Frihet will organize a TKey hackathon at Assured's office in Gothenburg.
5+
6+
The Tillitis TKey is an open-source software, and open-source hardware, USB security token made in Sweden.
7+
It is capable of providing an extra layer of security for use cases such as cryptographic signing, (SSH, PAM, etc.) login, and random number generation.
8+
For more information about the TKey see below.
9+
10+
The goal of the hackathon will be to collaborate on improving the TKey software and to work on finding, and implementing, more use cases for the TKey.
11+
This is not a competitive hackathon, instead our aim is to get started with, and to improve, the TKey together with others, have fun and share ideas.
12+
13+
If you already know something that you want to implement, you can include it with your registration.
14+
At the start of the event, these ideas will be presented, and people may freely choose an idea that they find interesting, and collaborate on for the day.
15+
16+

_The TKey is an open source security token created by the Mullvad spin-off Tillitis AB. Both its software and its hardware (schematics, PCB, and FPGA design) are open source._
34+
_The TKey was released in April of 2023 with a price tag of 880 SEK (incl. tax) and available from the Tillitis store._
35+
36+
_The TKey is a small device drawing less than 100mA._
37+
_It provides a few basic functions (either in firmware or by the provided apps and libs) such as Ed25519 signing, key derivation, BLAKE2 hashing, and a good random number generator (TRNG)._
38+
_It also has a sensor for user confirmation._
39+
_With these features, the TKey can be used for various functionalities, such as authentication (signing, SSH login, passkey, etc.), serving as a root of trust (sign/encrypt), or as a source of entropy (TRNG/CSPRNG)._\
