harp-yubikey

Yubikey managed container identity

Prepare your yubikey

Generate a secp256r1 EC private key in the yubikey :

yubico-piv-tool --slot=82 --algorithm=ECCP256 --touch-policy=always --pin-policy=once -a generate -o recovery.pub.pem

Generate a self-signed certificate with the required Organization attribute set to harp-plugin-yubikey

yubico-piv-tool --slot=82 -a verify-pin -a selfsign-certificate --subject='/CN=Recovery Harp/O=harp-plugin-yubikey/' --valid-days=3650 -i recovery.pub.pem -o recovery.cert.pem

Import the certificate in the yubikey :

yubico-piv-tool --slot=82 -a import-certificate -i recovery.cert.pem

Create your recovery identity

$ harp-yubikey container identity --serial $YK_SERIAL --slot 82 --description="Recovery from Yubikey"  | jq
