Just thought I'd ask as I can see this one touch keyboard could be a valuable authentication solution for the blind & physically disabled...

I'd think the braille should be on the back where the logo's can be printed. As more obvious indicator for which side is the back. (Actually the imprinted "Powered by Yubico" already acts like an indicator) As for what information it should say... Considering the small size of the key, and the size of braille: Perhaps a row of 1-4 characters, or even a second row of characters? I was just thinking off the cuff, and some additional research would be needed. Let me say that the first thing I thought of when I first tried Yubikey was Wow, it could reliably give a password everytime for the visually impaired & physically challenged, anywhere they go with it. |

All I've got so far is that the braille should be kept simple, just to ID the Yubikeys one from another. This would allow a quick ID of which Yubikey is OTP versus the second or third Yubikeys that have been password programmed by the user. But they'd also need to ID one user's Yubikey from other user's Yubikey. So the second row would have to be personalized, or serialized for clarity. I can see this concept now makes it fairly specialized and that it would cost more per Yubikey. But this would give you a head start and something to open dialogues with, if/when Yubico should encounter such a question... ------------------------------------- Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braille |
