This presentation will walk through the use of a Yubikey 4 to hold an 
RSA PGP private key. Public key encryption requires protection of the 
private key. If control of the private key is lost, all reasoning about 
signatures and  encryption is compromised. Storing private keys on a 
hard disk and processed by the PC makes the private key vulnerable to 
compromise. A Yubikey promises to key your private key secret. There 
will also be a digression during the presentation into so-called true 
Random Number Generators, e.g. ChaosKey and InfiniteNoise.
