Hi!

If you cannot do "USB separation", can you allow to connect a VM to a
YubiKey attached on USB?

Or: How do you use a YubiKey (OpenPGP card, etc.) in Qubes OS?

Regards,

Ulrich

In case you (or anyone else reading this) has not already seen it, there is a documentation page on this:

OK,

after reading the document my original question still stands:
Not having sys-usb I can mount USB sticks by "delegating" them to a VM.
My question was whether a similar mechanism exists fur a YubiKey instead of an USB stick.

Regards,
Ulrich
