Good fit if

  • Government, defence and regulated buyers whose control set names FIPS 140-2 validated authenticators.

Look elsewhere if

  • Anyone without a FIPS obligation, or whose obligation names 140-3.
  • The standard 5C NFC is the same key for less.

YubiKey 5C NFC FIPS (140-2) connects over USB-C. It also works over NFC, so the same key taps against a phone.

Government, defence and regulated buyers whose control set names FIPS 140-2 validated authenticators.

Where it is the wrong choice: anyone without a FIPS obligation, or whose obligation names 140-3. The standard 5C NFC is the same key for less.

Every order ships from Sydney with a tax invoice, and we are happy to talk through a rollout before you commit to a quantity.
