can these keys be used as a veracrypt device to unlock an encrypted drive ?

Don't think so. I don't think this app implements PIV to the extent of being able to store arbitrary data.

TrueCrypt/VeraCrypt actually treats tokens as glorified flash drives with PIN protection (or whatever), by putting a file on them, and then fetching it back. To the extent I've read into code of this app (which is just a little bit), it seems that it only does cryptographic operations and does not implement any form of protected storage for arbitrary data objects.

I could be wrong, though.

I suppose what you can (theoretically) do, is to keep a PGP-encrypted keyfile on your machine, and then somehow make GnuPG decrypt it using Ledger and pipe the decrypted data to VeraCrypt's CLI.

No PIV yet, If you have any tool to test PIV card please contact me.
