You should take a look at the Dallas Semiconductor Java iButton, which is a small Java smartcard like device in a package about the size of a button-battery. There's also an inexpensive reader dongle you can attach to a serial port to talk with it. The Java iButton can do RSA public key processing; in fact, with a suitably written application (in Java, of course), you can have the device generate a public/private keypair, hand you back the public key, and never expose the private key inside the tamper resistant device. Very cool. See http://www.ibutton.com/ for information. See also /usr/ports/comms/mlan3 for some low-level code used to talk to these types of "one-wire" devices. louie To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-small@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Sep 24 15:50:35 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-small@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5003C16A51B; Fri, 24 Sep 2004 15:50:35 +0000 (GMT) Received: from post5.inre.asu.edu (post5.inre.asu.edu [129.219.110.120]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 468FA43DA2; Fri, 24 Sep 2004 15:50:21 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from David.Bear@asu.edu) Received: from conversion.post5.inre.asu.edu by asu.edu (PMDF V6.1-1X6 #30769) id <0I4J00A01YHHCZ@asu.edu>; Fri, 24 Sep 2004 08:46:29 -0700 (MST) Received: from smtp.asu.edu (smtp.asu.edu [129.219.110.107]) <0I4J00A64YHG5Y@asu.edu>; Fri, 24 Sep 2004 08:46:29 -0700 (MST) Received: from moroni.pp.asu.edu (moroni.pp.asu.edu [129.219.69.200]) (8.12.10/8.12.10/asu_smtp_relay,nullclient,tcp_wrapped) with ESMTP id i8OFkR71011965; Fri, 24 Sep 2004 08:46:27 -0700 (MST) Received: by moroni.pp.asu.edu (Postfix, from userid 500) id 60BF7E74; Fri, 24 Sep 2004 08:46:13 -0700 (MST) Received: from post1.inre.asu.edu (post1.inre.asu.edu [129.219.110.72]) by imap1.asu.edu (8.11.0/8.11.0/asu_cyrus,tcp_wrapped) with ESMTP id g2EGINE25656 for ; Thu, 14 Mar 2002 09:18:24 -0700 (MST) Received: from conversion.post1.inre.asu.edu by asu.edu (PMDF V6.1 #40110) david.bear@asu.edu) ; Thu, 14 Mar 2002 09:18:23 -0700 (MST) Received: from mx2.freebsd.org (mx2.FreeBSD.org [216.136.204.119]) by asu.edu (PMDF V6.1 #40110) with ESMTP id <0GSZ00LO51AN4N@asu.edu> for iddwb@IMAP1.ASU.EDU (ORCPT david.bear@asu.edu); Thu, 14 Mar 2002 09:18:23 -0700 (MST) Received: from hub.freebsd.org (hub.FreeBSD.org [216.136.204.18]) by mx2.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 38C0D55C86; Thu, 14 Mar 2002 08:18:17 -0800 Received: by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix, from userid 538) id 9EAB737B419; Thu, 14 Mar 2002 08:18:09 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 3431A2E808F; Thu, 14 Mar 2002 08:18:08 -0800 (PST) Received: by hub.freebsd.org (bulk_mailer v1.12); Thu, 14 Mar 2002 08:18:08 -0800 Received: from vulcan.rsasecurity.com(Postfix) with SMTP id 3E47637B400; Thu, 14 Mar 2002 08:18:05 -0800 (PST) Received: from no.name.available by vulcan.rsasecurity.com via smtpd (for hub.FreeBSD.org [216.136.204.18]) with SMTP; Thu, 14 Mar 2002 16:17:31 +0000 (UT) Received: from tuna.rsa.com (tuna.rsa.com [10.80.211.153]) by sdtihq24.securid.com (Pro-8.9.3/Pro-8.9.3) with ESMTP id LAA08886; Thu, 14 Mar 2002 11:17:19 -0500 (EST) Received: from quattro.rsa.com (quattro.rsa.com [10.81.217.239]) by tuna.rsa.com (8.8.8+Sun/8.8.8) with ESMTP id IAA12510; Thu, 14 Mar 2002 08:22:26 -0800 (PST) Received: from rsasecurity.com (localhost.rsa.com [127.0.0.1]) by quattro.rsa.com (8.11.0/8.11.0) with ESMTP id g2EGH2J10681; Thu, 14 Mar 2002 08:17:02 -0800 (PST envelope-from davef@rsasecurity.com) From: David Finkelstein In-reply-to: "Your message of Tue, 12 Mar 2002 17:33:18 EST." <3C8E822E.7070509@aurora.regenstrief.org> Sender: owner-freebsd-security@FreeBSD.ORG To: dwbear75@gmail.com Message-id: <200203141617.g2EGH2J10681@quattro.rsa.com> MIME-version: 1.0 X-Mailer: exmh version 2.2 06/23/2000 with nmh-1.0.4 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Delivered-to: freebsd-security@freebsd.org Old-To: Gunther Schadow Lines: 14 X-Keywords: cc: freebsd-security@FreeBSD.ORG cc: PicoBSD List Subject: Re: Smartcard device support?

Also, it seems that it requires a drop-in 'STDLL' to be written for each device. It might be possible to do something similar to SSH by hacking ssh-agent to be tied to a removable medium.

Very cool. And extremely easy to write/handle. I used it to do the above; have it signed by a CA - and then use the iButton to sign 5 day cert's which go down into a web server. They are not that fast though - i.e. do not expect those nice <1msec touch-and-go you see with the nedap devices. You have to conciously press them against the blue connector for a noticable period of time. I.e. there is a 'rest' moment. > See http://www.ibutton.com/ for information.

However - the IDE requirers java comm support - which I could not get to work on FreeBSD (a year ago). So I had to do the initial part of the development on Sun Solaris box (PC is fine too). But once you are set up it is 100% java and platform agnostics; and especially if during development you allow the iButton to DHCP network itself in - using one of the adaptor cards and the java SIM - you can use (t)ftp to do all your develpment just fine from any unix. And may only need ot do something special when you are rolling out the ibottons on a PC. DW.
