+
+An easy to use public key encryption program for your YubiKey.
+
+Supported YubiKey algorithms:
+
+For encryption with slot 9d:
+
+RSA: 2048, 3072, 4096 bits
+
+For signing with slot 9c:
+
+ECC: P-256, P-384, Ed25519
+
+Simply use Yubico Authenticator to create your signing and
+encryption certificate and export your encryption certificate,
+to give it to your friends. You don't have to Export your signing
+certificate, because it is not needed for signature verification.
+
+If you use Linux (Debian/Ubuntu) you may have to do the following
+in order that yubicrypt works.
+
+Install PC/SC daemon and tools
+sudo apt update
+sudo apt install pcscd pcsc-tools
+
+Start the PC/SC daemon
+sudo systemctl start pcscd
+
+Enable it to start automatically on boot
+sudo systemctl enable pcscd
+
+Check the status to ensure it's running
+sudo systemctl status pcscd
+
+
+
+If you like yubicrypt, as much as I do, consider a small donation.
