Pondering
Yubikey/Smartcard backed TLS servers
https://blog.benjojo.co.uk/post/tls-https-ser...-a-yubikey
Smart cards are neat, since they allow you to store sensitive cryptographic keys on another removable device, and they come with a guarantee that once they are programmed with a key they will not give it back to a system (they can be overwritten though)
I figured that we could also retrofit them to provide for other roles where keys would normally be in memory (and stealable), Like TLS/HTTPS servers!
