Cannot Initialize new Nitrokey HSM

Nitrokeys HSM
9

There are essentially two issues happening here in parallel:

  1. Any Nitrokey HSM2 shipped from beginning of January 2024 until January 20th has an incompatibility with Windows and MacOSX, we have a new firmware in place to fix that, but the device needs to be sent in - if you have such a device and need Windows/MacOSX compatibility, please write us (support (at) nitrokey (dot) com) with your order number (SOxxxxxxx) and we’ll replace your device.

  2. The OpenSC release 0.24 comes with a fresh new bug which also breaks Windows compatibility with many HSM devices (including the Nitrokey HSM2). So please use either 0.23 OR use the binaries you can find in the
    related issue    .

thanks for your patience,
best
