python-fido2

Travis CI Status Appveyor Status

Provides library functionality for communicating with a FIDO device over USB as well as verifying attestation and assertion signatures.

Warning
This project is in beta. Expect things to change or break at any time!

This library aims to support the FIDO U2F and FIDO 2.0 protocols for communicating with a USB authenticator via the Client-to-Authenticator Protocol (CTAP 1 and 2). In addition to this low-level device access, classes defined in the fido2.client implement higher level device operations.

For usage, see the examples/ directory.

Installation

fido2 is installable by running the following command:

# pip install fido2

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

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

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

Dependencies

fido2 is compatible with CPython 2.7, 3.4 onwards, and is tested on Windows, MacOS, and Linux.

This project depends on Cryptography. For instructions on installing this dependency, see https://cryptography.io/en/latest/installation/.
