Comment on YubiKeys are vulnerable to cloning attacks thanks to newly discovered side channel
IllNess@infosec.pub 2 weeks agoNo negatives listed on the Wiki page. Are there any? Does potting increase the likely hood of overheating?

There is potting compound with high thermal conductivity for things that produce a lot of heat. A YubiKey hardly uses any power, so heat should not be an issue.
The main downsides of potting are that it makes repair practically impossible and it can add a lot of weight if there is a large volume to be filled.

that makes sense. Thank you.
