Provides library functionality for FIDO 2.0, including communication with a device over USB.

python-fido2

Provides library functionality for communicating with a FIDO device over USB as well as verifying attestation and assertion signatures.

Warning

This project is in beta. Expect things to change or break at any time!

This library aims to support the FIDO U2F and FIDO 2.0 protocols for communicating with a USB authenticator via the Client-to-Authenticator Protocol (CTAP 1 and 2). In addition to this low-level device access, classes defined in the fido2.client and fido2.server modules implement higher level operations which are useful when interfacing with an Authenticator, or when implementing a Relying Party.

For usage, see the examples/ directory.

Installation

fido2 is installable by running the following command:

# pip install fido2

Under Linux you will need to add a Udev rule to be able to access the FIDO device, or run as root. For example, the Udev rule may contain the following:

#Udev rule for allowing HID access to Yubico devices for FIDO support.

KERNEL=="hidraw*", SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", \
  MODE="0664", GROUP="plugdev", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1050"

Dependencies

fido2 is compatible with CPython 2.7 (2.7.6 and up), 3.4 onwards, and is tested on Windows, MacOS, and Linux.

This project depends on Cryptography. For instructions on installing this dependency, see https://cryptography.io/en/latest/installation/.

Development

For development of the library, we recommend using pipenv. To set up the dev environment, run this command in the root directory of the repository:

pipenv install --dev

Running tests

While many tests can run on their own, some require a connected U2F or FIDO2 device to run.

pipenv run test
