The New Defcon Badges Pack a Unique Open Source Chip That Doubles as a Security Key

Legendary hardware hacker Andrew Huang designed this year's DEF CON conference badges to feature an open source chip that functions as a security key. The design emphasizes security and transparency through open hardware principles at the annual gathering of security professionals.

Why it matters: Security practitioners attending DEF CON gain hands-on experience with open source security hardware and may discover new approaches to implementing cryptographic keys and authentication in their own environments.
