Yubico Universal 2nd Factor (U2F) Host C Library

Introduction

Libu2f-host provide a C library and command-line tool that implements the host-side of the U2F protocol. There are APIs to talk to a U2F device and perform the U2F Register and U2F Authenticate operations.

License

The library is licensed under the LGPLv2+ license. The command line tool and some other files are licensed under the GPLv3+ license. The license for each file should be clear from the comments at the top of it. See the files COPYING (for GPLv3) and COPYING.LGPLv2 for complete license texts. If you have a desire to use this package under another license, please contact us to discuss the reason. For any copyright year range specified as YYYY-ZZZZ in this package note that the range specifies every single year in that closed interval.

Usage

The library usage is documented in the API manual, see gtk-doc/html/ after you built with ./configure --enable-gtk-doc.

There is a command line utility that is useful for debugging or testing. We describe how you could use it here.

Register

First get a register challenge JSON blob somehow. You could use the Yubico U2F demo server interactively in a browser (with the U2F extension disabled). Alternatively, use the WSAPI. For example:

$ curl 'https://demo.yubico.com/wsapi/u2f/enroll?username=jas&password=foo' > foo

For reference, a blob looks like this:

{"challenge": "6l8aRM6f35hwrramrt7sKt7gDkvTamt2rYrMgMYE9ro", "version": "U2F_V2", "appId": "https://demo.yubico.com/app-identity"}

Then invoke the u2fhost command, like this:

$ u2f-host -aregister -o https://demo.yubico.com < foo > bar

Your U2F device should start to blink, and you should touch it to proceed. For reference, the output blob is:

Then finish the U2F registration against the server:

$ curl https://demo.yubico.com/wsapi/u2f/bind -d "username=jas&password=foo&data=`cat bar`"

The output from that web service is JSON with some information.

Authenticate

To authenticate (aka sign) you should acquire a challenge somehow. Our demo server provides them.

$ curl 'https://demo.yubico.com/wsapi/u2f/sign?username=jas&password=foo' > foo

For reference the challenge is:

{"challenge": "Pa3eucFQrH-5c9CAEdGESJiIW9po_Sozs6EfPeYN3nM", "version": "U2F_V2", "keyHandle": "Eu-I54B3MeKSdrOXKzt5e0L0MGtoKUoCFg77ZK7EefIVL0l-Tac2uJvV20kk1x9Ems4EYgtYgiVfNK3nFXhUGA", "appId": "https://demo.yubico.com/app-identity"}

You invoke the u2f-host command as before, again your U2F device should blink up and wait for touch.

$ u2f-host -aauthenticate -o https://demo.yubico.com < foo > bar

For reference the response is:

{ "signatureData": "AQAAAAIwRAIgPIlfE6dsRykM5M_KG88hHjRh2ZdiyMakVUIKG9Q2w9QCIBcQYTOhD-D2McYQ2MK0xvoonqNnA0G_WEGNaHtttX32", "clientData": "eyAiY2hhbGxlbmdlIjogIlBhM2V1Y0ZRckgtNWM5Q0FFZEdFU0ppSVc5cG9fU296czZFZlBlWU4zbk0iLCAib3JpZ2luIjogImh0dHA6XC9cL2RlbW8ueXViaWNvLmNvbSIsICJ0eXAiOiAibmF2aWdhdG9yLmlkLmdldEFzc2VydGlvbiIgfQ==", "challenge": "Eu-I54B3MeKSdrOXKzt5e0L0MGtoKUoCFg77ZK7EefIVL0l-Tac2uJvV20kk1x9Ems4EYgtYgiVfNK3nFXhUGA" }

To use our demo server to verify it, you may use this call:

$ curl https://demo.yubico.com/wsapi/u2f/verify -d "username=jas&password=foo&data=`cat bar`"

On success, the output contains a counter and whether touch was asserted:

{"touch": "\u0001", "counter": 2}

That’s it!

Building

Dependencies

Pkg-config simplifies finding other dependencies.
The JSON-C library is needed.
You will also need HIDAPI installed.

All of the above can be installed in Debian via:

apt-get install pkg-config libjson0-dev libhidapi-hidraw0

Instructions

This project uses autoconf, automake and libtool to achieve portability and ease of use. If you downloaded a tarball, build it as follows.

$ ./configure --enable-gtk-doc
$ make check && sudo make install

Building from Git

You may check out the sources using Git with the following command:

$ git clone git://github.com/Yubico/libu2f-host.git

This will create a directory libu2f-host. Enter the directory:

$ cd libu2f-host

Autoconf, automake and libtool must be installed. Help2man is used to generate the manpages. GTK-DOC is used to generated API documentation. Gengetopt is needed for command line parameter handling. HIDAPI developer files are also required. All of the above can be installed in Debian via:

apt-get install gtk-doc-tools libhidapi-dev gengetopt help2man

Generate the build system using:

$ make

See cfg.mk for some settings.

Portability

The main development platform is Debian GNU/Linux and it should be well supported. Windows and Mac OS X are important platforms and we support them fully as well.

Building Mac binaries can be done using macosx.mk. The resulting binaries have been tested successfully on Mac OS X 10.7 and 10.9.

$ make -f macosx.mk VERSION=0.0

Building Windows binaries can be done using windows.mk. The resulting binaries have been tested successfully on Windows 7 Pro 32-bit.

$ make -f windows.mk VERSION=0.0
