He asked Yubico for help deploying the security keys to the Ukrainian government.
"We needed to have a lot of keys to deploy but we didn't have this amount of keys in our warehouse," he said.
Yubico has distributed 10,000 keys currently and plans to donate 10,000 more.
Stina Ehrensvard, CEO and founder of Yubico, said the collaboration with Hideez and the Ukrainian government combined smart card tech with FIDO security keys to create one access point for all services.
"We are dealing with very stressed out people and the Yubico key fits perfectly within this context," he said, particularly given the legacy technology government agencies use.
The SIPCC had a security policy framework in place for government ministries and agencies which guided the deployment of the keys.
