Bug#951184: RFP: libfido2 -- communicate with a FIDO device over USB
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name: libfido2 Version : 1.3.0 Upstream Author : Yubico AB * URL : https://github.com/Yubico/libfido2 * License : BSD-2-clause Programming Lang: C Description : communicate with a FIDO device over USB libfido2 provides library functionality and command-line tools to communicate with a FIDO device over USB, and to verify attestation and assertion signatures. libfido2 supports the FIDO U2F (CTAP 1) and FIDO 2.0 (CTAP 2) protocols. This is going to be an optional dependency of OpenSSH 8.2 (optional at build time, I think, though it seems sufficiently useful that I'd be inclined to link against it by default if it doesn't impose an unreasonable run-time footprint), needed for U2F/FIDO support which is the principal new feature in that release. As such I'd like to be able to enable it. I do have a Yubikey 5 NFC which would be suitable for testing this with, and in principle I'd probably be able to maintain this package reasonably well, but I also have a lot to do and would rather give somebody else the chance to take it on first. I expect I'll start work on it in a week or two if nobody else picks this up. -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@debian.org]
