My current understanding is the use a USB Passkey via a browser on
Devaun, I need to do the following;
A) install some PAM modules
B) Enable javascript for the site in the browser
C) Insert configured USB passkey and
D) Respond to the prompt()fondle the device).
I just wanted to check my understanding that this will work before I
start spending $$$ to buy a usb passkey for our government new secure
login system.
Thank You.
Long story; The Australian government is starting to impose some
"secureID" system on interactions with their portals. Somehow they
have totally screwed up their password and challenge question system and
'someone' decided to impose a system that relies on hardware and
services developed and controlled by google, apple, etc. That is "smart
phones" to which I have a total revulsion and now can not physically
use.
The one alternative of their systems that seems to be free of the
privacy stripping and massive insecurity is a USB passkey, but their
requirements on setting up and using passkeys are all variations of
software and systems provided and controlled by overseas companies well
know for stealing your personal data and daily reporting of major
security breaches. It would also cost a significant amount of money to
buy and infest hardware with their software.
Having run Devuan since ascii, I want to fully explore doing passkeys
via Devuan, hence my question.
