Pure Rust cross-platform host-side driver for YubiKey devices from Yubico with support for public-key encryption and digital signatures using the Personal Identity Verification (PIV) application.

Uses the Personal Computer/Smart Card (PC/SC) interface with cross-platform access provided by the pcsc crate.

Documentation

About

YubiKeys are versatile devices and through their PIV support, you can use them to store a number of RSA (2048/1024) and ECC (NIST P-256/P-384) private keys with configurable access control policies. Both the signing (RSASSA/ECDSA) and encryption (PKCS#1v1.5/ECIES) use cases are supported for either key type.

See Yubico's guide to PIV-enabled YubiKeys for more information on which devices support PIV and the available functionality.

If you've been wanting to use Rust to sign and/or encrypt data using a private key generated and stored on a YubiKey (with option PIN-based access), this is the crate you've been after!

Note that while this project started as a fork of a Yubico project, this fork is NOT an official Yubico project and is in no way supported or endorsed by Yubico.

Features

Personal Identity Verification (PIV)

PIV is a NIST standard for both signing and encryption using SmartCards and SmartCard-based hardware tokens like YubiKeys.

PIV-related functionality can be found in the [piv] module.

This library natively implements the protocol used to manage and utilize PIV encryption and signing keys which can be generated, imported, and stored on YubiKey devices.

See Yubico's guide to PIV-enabled YubiKeys for more information on which devices support PIV and the available functionality.

Supported Algorithms

  • Authentication: 3DES
  • Encryption:
    • RSA: RSA1024, RSA2048
    • ECC: ECCP256, ECCP384 (NIST curves: P-256, P-384)
  • Signatures:
    • RSASSA-PKCS#1v1.5: RSA1024, RSA2048
    • ECDSA: ECCP256, ECCP384 (NIST curves: P-256, P-384)

NOTE: RSASSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP encryption may be supportable (TBD)

Minimum Supported Rust Version

Rust 1.60 or newer.

Supported YubiKeys

NOTE: Nano and USB-C variants of the above are also supported. Pre-YK4 YubiKey NEO series is NOT supported (see #18).

Supported Operating Systems

  • Linux
  • macOS
  • Windows

Security Warning

No security audits of this crate have ever been performed. Presently it is in an experimental stage and may still contain high-severity issues.

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Status

Functionality which has been successfully tested is available by default.

Any functionality which is gated on the untested feature has not been properly tested and is not known to function correctly.

Please see the untested functionality tracking issue for current status. We would appreciate any help testing this functionality and removing the untested gating as well as writing more automated tests.

Testing

To run the full test suite, you'll need a connected YubiKey NEO/4/5 device in the default state (i.e. default PIN/PUK).

Tests which run live against a YubiKey device are marked as #[ignore] by default in order to pass when running in a CI environment. To run these tests locally, invoke the following command:

cargo test -- --ignored

This crate makes extensive use of the log facade to provide detailed information about what is happening. If you'd like to print this logging information while running the tests, set the RUST_LOG environment variable to a relevant loglevel (e.g. error, warn, info, debug, trace):

RUST_LOG=info cargo test -- --ignored

To trace every message sent to/from the card i.e. the raw Application Protocol Data Unit (APDU) messages, use the trace log level:

running 1 test
[INFO  yubikey::yubikey] trying to connect to reader 'Yubico YubiKey OTP+FIDO+CCID'
[INFO  yubikey::yubikey] connected to 'Yubico YubiKey OTP+FIDO+CCID' successfully
[TRACE yubikey::apdu] >>> Apdu { cla: 0, ins: SelectApplication, p1: 4, p2: 0, data: [160, 0, 0, 3, 8] }
[TRACE yubikey::transaction] >>> [0, 164, 4, 0, 5, 160, 0, 0, 3, 8]
[TRACE yubikey::apdu] <<< Response { status_words: Success, data: [97, 17, 79, 6, 0, 0, 16, 0, 1, 0, 121, 7, 79, 5, 160, 0, 0, 3, 8] }
[TRACE yubikey::apdu] >>> Apdu { cla: 0, ins: GetVersion, p1: 0, p2: 0, data: [] }
[TRACE yubikey::transaction] >>> [0, 253, 0, 0, 0]
[TRACE yubikey::apdu] <<< Response { status_words: Success, data: [5, 1, 2] }
[TRACE yubikey::apdu] >>> Apdu { cla: 0, ins: GetSerial, p1: 0, p2: 0, data: [] }
[TRACE yubikey::transaction] >>> [0, 248, 0, 0, 0]
[TRACE yubikey::apdu] <<< Response { status_words: Success, data: [0, 115, 0, 178] }
test connect ... ok

APDU messages labeled >>> are being sent to the YubiKey's internal SmartCard, and ones labeled <<< are the responses.

History

This library is a Rust translation of the yubico-piv-tool utility by Yubico, which was originally written in C. It was mechanically translated from C into Rust using Corrode, and then subsequently heavily refactored into safer, more idiomatic Rust.

For more information on yubico-piv-tool and background information on how the YubiKey implementation of PIV works in general, see the [Yubico PIV Tool Command Line Guide][piv-tool-guide].

⚠️ Security Warning

No security audits of this crate have ever been performed.
