similar to: [PATCH] sshd: Add pkcs11 support for HostKey.

Some HSM's such as Safenet Network HSM do not allow searching for keys unauthenticated. To support such devices provide a mechanism for users to provide a pin code that is always used to automatically log in to the HSM when using PKCS11. The pin code is read from a file specified by the environment variable SSH_PKCS11_PINFILE if it is set. Tested against Safenet Network HSM. ---

I find this approach very bad in general.? PKCS#11 standard says that *private* keys should not be accessible without authentication. *Public* keys and certificates of course can and should be accessible with no authentication. SoftHSM misinterpreted this originally (older pkcs11 documents were less clear :), but they rectified this mistake. We should not repeat it.?

Hi all, Thanks for all your hard work! I was particularly excited to see FIDO/U2F support in the latest release. I'd like to make the following bug report in ssh-agent's PKCS#11 support: Steps to reproduce: 1. Configure a smart card (e.g. Yubikey in PIV mode) as an SSH key. 2. Add that key to ssh-agent. 3. Remove that key from ssh-agent. 4. Add that key to ssh-agent. Expected results:

Hi, Is there any way to store HostKey in hardware (and delegate the related processing)? I have been using Roumen Petrov's x509 patch for clients, which works via an OpenSSL engine, but it does not seem to support server HostKey: http://roumenpetrov.info/pipermail/ssh_x509_roumenpetrov.info/2012q4/000019.html For PKCS#11, I have found an email on this list from a year back suggesting this

Hello all, as PKCS#11 URI became standard (RFC 7512), it would be good to be able to specify the keys using this notation in openssh. So far I implemented the minimal subset of this standard allowing to specify the URI for the ssh tool, in ssh_config and to work with ssh-agent. It does not bring any new dependency, provides unit and regress tests (while fixing agent-pkcs11 regress test). The

Hello, I'm writing from OpenSC project (OpenSSH used to include OpenSC support for smart cards, it has been removed now and PKCS#11 is used instead, whish is nice), we're planning to have a "Security / hardware crypto keys" themed devroom at FOSDEM next year. Are people on this list interested in participating, and trying to tackle the problem of "Why OpenSSH does not work

Right now, if I typo my PIN for a PKCS#11 token, I get the inscrutable message: $ ssh -I /path/to/module user at example.com Enter PIN for 'SSH key': C_Login failed: 160 I'd prefer to receive a more useful message: Login to PKCS#11 token failed: Incorrect PIN I've attached a patch that adds specific handling for three common error cases: Incorrect PIN, PIN too long or too

Hello, Is there any support (existing or planned) for host keys/certs being managed by some hardware device (tpm,hsm,etc..) instead of a flat file? thanks, -Kenny

Hello, I have just finished development of PKCS#11 smartcard support into OpenSSH. It is based on existing approach implemented in sectok and OpenSC support. It means it supports private key stored on PKCS#11 device. I have developed it on Linux platform and tested on Windows using Cygwin and after some minor code cealn-up I'm ready to post a patch. Are you (especially maintaners)

Hello. Just popping in (not subscribed, please CC) to ask if it's planned to add "identity selection" when using a PKCS#11 provider. To be more clear: I have a (working) reader+smartcard, handled by PKCS11Provider /usr/lib/opensc-pkcs11.so statement in config file. Card is "formatted" w/ "pkcs15-init -C", and got a couple PINs, some mail certs and some keypairs

Hello everyone, as you could have noticed over the years, there are several bugs for PKCS#11 improvement and integration which are slipping under the radar for several releases, but the most painful ones are constantly updated by community to build, work and make our lives better. I wrote some of the patches, provided feedback to others, or offered other help here on mailing list, but did not
