Hi!
I just received my yubikey via mail. As the envelope which it was send with was nearly open my question is: How can i check whether the yubikey has been tampered with? Could an attacker for example replace the GPG applet with one which leaks its secret? And if yes, is there some kind of checksum or similar which i can check?

Hello,

The Yubikeys are shipped with locked card-management keys, thus applet cannot be uploaded/deleted/modified.

The are no secrets on the openpgp applet, it is opensource and available on our developers website https://developers.yubico.com

Generate secrets following this best practice guide:

Correct. And neither can an attacker (unless they have compromised Yubico).
