Description-en: Key Storage Module for YubiKey One-Time Password (OTP) tokens
YubiKeys are USB tokens that act like keyboards and generate one-time
passwords. This package contains a server written in PHP for use
with Apache that decrypt YubiKey One-Time Passwords (OTPs), normally
only used by YubiKey OTP validation servers. The architecture is
that a set of validation servers manage the token counters and
respond to OTP requests from clients, and utilize a set of back-end
YubiKey Key Storage Module (KSM) servers to perform the actual AES
key decryption. The protocols are openly published. This implementation
store the AES keys in a database unencrypted, which can be protected
using file-system encryption mechanisms Another KSM implementation
is available in the yhsm-yubikey-ksm package that use the YubiHSM hardware
to protect the decryption process. Sometimes the KSM runs on another
server than the validation server, but it is possible to run both on
the same machine. After installing and configuring this package you
will have a YubiKey KSM server up and running via Apache.
