== u2flib-host ==
Provides library functionality for communicating with a U2F device over USB.

# NOTE: This project is superseded by https://github.com/Yubico/python-fido2

Two executables are provided, u2f-register and u2f-authenticate, which support
the register and authenticated commands of U2F as defined in the
http://fidoalliance.org/specifications/download[FIDO specifications].

=== License ===
This project is licensed under the BSD 2-clause license.
See the COPYING file for the full license text.

=== Installation ===
u2flib-host is installable by running the following command:

  # pip install python-u2flib-host

Under Linux you will need to add a Udev rule to be able to access the U2F
device, or run as root. For example, the Udev rule may contain the following:

----
#Udev rule for allowing HID access to Yubico devices for U2F support.

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

=== Dependencies ===
u2flib-host is compatible with CPython 2.7, 3.3 onwards.

To support HID devices, u2flib-host uses hidapi, which has a few dependencies
for building. On a Debian based system, run the following command before
installation:

  # apt-get install build-essential python-dev cython libusb-1.0-0-dev \
    libudev-dev

The soft U2F device implementation requires link:https://pypi.python.org/pypi/cryptography[cryptography], the build
dependencies can be installed with

  # apt-get install libffi-dev libssl-dev

=== Examples ===
==== Library use ====

[source, python]
----
from u2flib_host import u2f, exc

# Enumerate available devices
devices = u2f.list_devices()

for device in devices:
    # The with block ensures that the device is opened and closed.
    with device as dev:
        # Register the device with some service
        registrationResponse = u2f.register(device, registrationRequest, facet)
----

==== Executable use ====
The examples below use the soft U2F device to register and authenticate against
the u2f_server example server from the
http://developers.yubico.com/python-u2flib-server[python-u2flib-server] project.
See that project for more details.
The register step will create a new U2F key pair and store the credential in
the soft_device.json file. The authenticate step will use this credential to
sign a challenge given by the server.

===== Registration =====
The u2f-register command takes a RegisterRequest JSON object as input,
registering the attached device and returns the registration response as
output.

----
$ u2f-register -s soft_device.json http://localhost:8081
Enter RegisterRequest JSON data...
