Remarks

The Vendor ID is an identifier defined by the USB specification. Compliant USB devices, such as the YubiKey, will have a unique vendor identifier assigned to them. In Yubico's case, this value is 0x1050. Other manufacturers should have different numbers. No other manufacturer should create a device with a vendor ID of 0x1050, however nothing prevents a malicious or otherwise non-compliant device from existing. So, while you can make some assumptions about a device that matches your expected vendor ID, other steps should be taken to verify that you are communicating with a genuine device. These steps will be device dependent and are out of the scope of this document.
