Yubico PIV Tool

Introduction

The Yubico PIV tool is used for interacting with the Personal Identity Verification (PIV) application on a YubiKey.

With it you may generate keys on the device, importing keys and certificates, and create certificate requests, and other operations. A shared library and a command-line tool is included.

Usage guides

For information and examples on what you can do with a PIV enabled YubiKey, see https://developers.yubico.com/PIV/

Building on POSIX platforms

Either clone from Git or download and unpackage the tarball, then make sure you have the pre-requisites installed and build following the steps below from the yubico-piv-tool directory.

Please make sure to have recent versions of the following packages installed on your system.

cmake libtool libssl-dev pkg-config check libpcsclite-dev gengetopt help2man

Help2man is used to generate the manpages. Gengetopt version 2.22.6 or later is needed for command line parameter handling. The Vagrant VM has all these dependencies preinstalled.

Please note that these package names are debian based. Other POSIX plarforms might have different names. For example, libssl-dev can probably be replaced with openssl-devel and libpcsclite-dev can probably be replaced by pcsc-lite-devel on a Redhat platform. Also note that Gengetopt might not be available on all plarforms and might need to be built from source (See https://www.gnu.org/software/gengetopt/gengetopt.html#Installation)

After installation of all dependencies, run the following:

$ cd yubico-piv-tool
$ mkdir build; cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make
$ sudo make install

On macos, you might need to point out homebrew openssl version when running pkg-config.

$ PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/lib/pkgconfig" cmake ..

To statically link to OpenSSL (the libcrypto library), use the cmake option -DOPENSSL_STATIC_LINK=ON

Don’t forget you might need to be root for the last command. On Linux it might be needed to update your linked libraries after install

sudo ldconfig

The backend to use is decided at compile time, see the summary at the end of the cmake output. Use --with-backend=foo to choose backend, replacing foo with the backend you want to use. The backends available are "pcsc", "macscard" and "winscard" using the PCSC interface, with slightly different shared library linkage and header file names: "pcsc" is used under GNU-like systems, "macscard" under Mac OS X, and "winscard" is used under Windows. In most situations, running cmake should automatically find the proper backend to use.

Building on Windows

Building on Windows requires MSBuild or Visual Studio and the MSVC compiler. It also requires building the binaries from the source release package and not from the source checked out from the repository on GitHub. This is because some files that are part of the command line shell are generated but they cannot, currently, be generated on Windows. Those files are, however, included in the source release package.

On Windows, getopt is needed to read command line arguments. The easiest way to install getopt is with the vcpkg package manager. The path to getopt DLL library and include file need to be specified as a command line argument to cmake. Also the path to OpenSSL needs to be specified either as a command line argument to cmake or by setting the environment variable OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR

The command line examples bellow are for PowerShell and the prerequisites were installed from source (using vcpkg).

$ env:OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR ="PATH/TO/OPENSSL_DIR"
$ mkdir build; cd build
$ cmake -A <ARCH> -DGETOPT_LIB_DIR="PATH/TO/GETOPT_DIR/lib" -DGETOPT_INCLUDE_DIR="PATH/TO/GETOPT_DIR/include ..
$ cmake --build .

To run the tests, check is used. The path to the check directory needs to be specified as a command line argument to cmake. Also the path to check binaries, OpenSSL binaries, libykpiv.dll and libykcs11.dll need to be in the PATH

$ env:OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR ="PATH/TO/OPENSSL_DIR"
$ mkdir build; cd build
$ cmake -A <ARCH> -DGETOPT_LIB_DIR="PATH/TO/GETOPT_DIR/lib" -DGETOPT_INCLUDE_DIR="PATH/TO/GETOPT_DIR/include -DCHECK_PATH="PATH/TO/CHECK_DIR" ..
$ cmake --build .
$ $env:Path +=";PATH/TO//CHECK_DIR/bin;PATH/TO/OPENSSL_DIR/bin;PATH/TO/build\lib\Debug;PATH/TO/build\ykcs11\Debug"
$ ctest.exe -C Debug

For building on 32 bits system, use Win32 as ARCH. For building on 64 bits systems, use x64 as ARCH.

Coverage

Code coverage is provided courtesy of lcov and CMake-codecov. This currently only works with make.

Enable coverage with

$ cmake -DENABLE_COVERAGE=1 ..

You can then build the project normally and run some executables (for example running the tests with make test).

At this point coverage evaluation can be generated with gcov/lcov related targets. For example

$ make lcov

will generate a single HTML report in ./lcov/html/all_targets/index.html

Portability

The main development platform is Debian GNU/Linux. The project compiles on Windows using MSVC and the PCSC backend. It can also be built for Mac OS X, also using the PCSC backend.

Example Usage

For a list of all available options --help can be given. For more information on exactly what happens --verbose or --verbose=2 may be added.

Generate a new ECC-P256 key on device in slot 9a, will print the public key on stdout:

$ yubico-piv-tool -s9a -AECCP256 -agenerate

Generate a certificate request with public key from stdin, will print the resulting request on stdout:

$ yubico-piv-tool -s9a -S'/CN=foo/OU=test/O=example.com/' -averify -arequest

Generate a self-signed certificate with public key from stdin, will print the certificate, for later import, on stdout:

$ yubico-piv-tool -s9a -S'/CN=bar/OU=test/O=example.com/' -averify -aselfsign

Import a certificate from stdin:

$ yubico-piv-tool -s9a -aimport-certificate

Set a random chuid, import a key and import a certificate from a PKCS12 file, into slot 9c:

$ yubico-piv-tool -s9c -itest.pfx -KPKCS12 -aset-chuid -aimport-key \
  -aimport-cert

Change the management key used for administrative authentication:

$ yubico-piv-tool -aset-mgm-key

Delete a certificate in slot 9a, with management key being asked for:

$ yubico-piv-tool -adelete-certificate -s9a -k

Show some information on certificates and other data:

$ yubico-piv-tool -astatus

Read out the certificate from a slot and then run a signature test:

$ yubico-piv-tool -aread-cert -s9a
$ yubico-piv-tool -averify-pin -atest-signature -s9a

Import a key into slot 85 (only available on YubiKey 4 & 5) and set the touch policy (also only available on YubiKey 4 & 5):

$ yubico-piv-tool -aimport-key -s85 --touch-policy=always -ikey.pem
