== u2flib-host == Provides library functionality for communicating with a U2F device over USB.

NOTE: This project is superseded by https://github.com/Yubico/python-fido2

Two executables are provided, u2f-register and u2f-authenticate, which support the register and authenticated commands of U2F as defined in the http://fidoalliance.org/specifications/download[FIDO specifications].

=== License === This project is licensed under the BSD 2-clause license. See the COPYING file for the full license text.

=== Installation === u2flib-host is installable by running the following command:

pip install python-u2flib-host

Under Linux you will need to add a Udev rule to be able to access the U2F device, or run as root. For example, the Udev rule may contain the following:

#Udev rule for allowing HID access to Yubico devices for U2F support.

KERNEL=="hidraw*", SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw",
MODE="0664", GROUP="plugdev", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1050"

=== Dependencies === u2flib-host is compatible with CPython 2.7, 3.3 onwards.

To support HID devices, u2flib-host uses hidapi, which has a few dependencies for building. On a Debian based system, run the following command before installation:

apt-get install build-essential python-dev cython libusb-1.0-0-dev \

libudev-dev

The soft U2F device implementation requires link:https://pypi.python.org/pypi/cryptography[cryptography], the build dependencies can be installed with

apt-get install libffi-dev libssl-dev

=== Examples === ==== Library use ====

[source, python]

from u2flib_host import u2f, exc

Enumerate available devices

devices = u2f.list_devices()

for device in devices: # The with block ensures that the device is opened and closed. with device as dev: # Register the device with some service registrationResponse = u2f.register(device, registrationRequest, facet)

==== Executable use ==== The examples below use the soft U2F device to register and authenticate against the u2f_server example server from the http://developers.yubico.com/python-u2flib-server[python-u2flib-server] project. See that project for more details. The register step will create a new U2F key pair and store the credential in the soft_device.json file. The authenticate step will use this credential to sign a challenge given by the server.

===== Registration ===== The u2f-register command takes a RegisterRequest JSON object as input, registering the attached device and returns the registration response as output.

$ u2f-register -s soft_device.json http://localhost:8081 Enter RegisterRequest JSON data... {"challenge": "K0aDxsacDNqrzlaGyLZoFYbXvCJcdIhq0SSaMz-lsV4", "version": "U2F_V2", "appId": "http://localhost:8081"}

Touch the U2F device you wish to register...
