Axiad Support for YubiKey Firmware v 5.7

Updated Support

As of July 17, 2024, Axiad Conductor supports YubiKey firmware version 5.7.1. For Axiad on-premises, the firmware is supported in UCMS 4.18+.

Our partner, Yubico is releasing a new version of their YubiKey firmware, version 5.7.

Version 5.7 brings a number of significant changes and improvements to the YubiKey, but some of these changes impact the personalization process that Axiad Conductor / UCMS uses to enable secure lifecycle management of the devices.

We are actively working on supporting this new firmware, and plan to add support for this version by mid-July 2024 for both Axiad Conductor and UCMS. We are committed to deliver this new version as soon as possible and will keep you posted on our progress.

We are working with Yubico on this plan, and they have confirmed that the YubiKeys 5.4.x are still available for order and will continue to be for the foreseeable future. Please contact your Yubico representative to make sure your next shipments are still based on the 5.4 firmware.

If you have a subscription to YubiEnterprise, then please contact us so that we can provide information on how to avoid getting the YubiKey 5.7 shipped until your Axiad Conductor instance is ready to support it.

And please do not hesitate to contact us at Axiad if you have any questions about this announcement or any other Axiad update.
