Sorry to use the "Anelok:" prefix, Werner, but I don't want people complaining
about the topic after opening the message. ;-)
Anyway, this story has been "trending" recently: Yubico has apparently gone
completely closed on their latest product, as opposed to somewhat closed,
meaning that the whole transparency argument has erupted around their
token/key/credentials-management products...
"Yubico: Secure hardware vs. open source"
http://lwn.net/Articles/687676/
Indeed, the blog post that initiated the fuss is perhaps something worth
mining for good discussion points...

It's interesting to read that they ditched the Java Card stuff in their latest
product. I saw an interesting talk about writing applets for that platform and
it was a rather informative and entertaining glimpse behind the curtain into a
somewhat bizarre world:
Maybe there's an opportunity to be had here with Anelok. Get yourself a Let's
Encrypt certificate for anelok.com and maybe people can be sent in that
direction for more details. ;-)
