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
WebAuthn support for a Relying Party.

For usage, see the `examples/` directory.

=== Installation
fido2 is installable by running the following command:

  # pip install fido2

To install the dependencies required for communication with NFC Authenticators,
instead use:

  # pip install fido2[pcsc]

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"
----

Under FreeBSD you will either need to run as root or add rules for your device
to /etc/devd.conf, which can be automated by installing security/u2f-devd:

  # pkg install u2f-devd


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

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

NFC support is optionally available via PCSC, using the pyscard library. For
instructions on installing this dependency, see
https://github.com/LudovicRousseau/pyscard/blob/master/INSTALL.md.


=== 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
