Hardware Tokens

The cosign command line tool optionally supports hardware tokens for signing and key management. This support is enabled through the PIV protocol and the go-piv library, which is not included in the standard release. Use make cosign-pivkey-pkcs11key, or go build -tags=pivkey,pkcs11key ./cmd/cosign, to build cosign with support for hardware tokens.

NOTE

cosign's hardware token support requires libpcsclite on platforms other than Windows and OSX. See go-piv's installation instructions for your platform.

We recommend using an application provided by your hardware vendor to manage keys and permissions for advanced use-cases, but cosign piv-tool should work well for most users.

The following exmamples use this image:

$ IMAGE=gcr.io/dlorenc-vmtest2/demo
$ IMAGE_DIGEST=$IMAGE@sha256:410a07f17151ffffb513f942a01748dfdb921de915ea6427d61d60b0357c1dcd

Quick Start

Setup

To get started, insert a key to your computer and run the cosign piv-tool generate-key command. We recommend using the --random-management-key=true flag.

This command generates a cryptographically-random management key and configures the device to use it. This management key is destroyed, requiring a hardware reset to modify the signing key (this can be done with the cosign piv-tool reset command).

A signing key is generated on the hardware, and the resulting attestations are printed to stdout. You do not need to save these, they can be retrieved later with the cosign piv-tool attestation command.

$ cosign piv-tool generate-key --random-management-key
Resetting management key to random value. You must factory reset the device to change this value: y

Signing

You can then use the normal cosign commands to sign images and blobs with your security key and PIN. NOTE: The default PIN is 123456.

$ cosign sign --sk $IMAGE_DIGEST
Enter PIN for security key:

To verify, you can either use the hardware key directly:

$ cosign verify --sk $IMAGE_DIGEST

CLI Usage

Setup

The cosign piv-tool reset command will restore your device to factory defaults. This will DESTROY any keys on the device, you cannot recover them.

The default management key, PIN and PUK will be configured after this command.

The cosign piv-tool generate-key command is used to provision a key compatible with cosign and the rest of sigstore. We recommend using the --random-management-key=true flag.

Access Control

The management-key, PIN and PUK can all be configured with the set-management-key, set-pin and set-puk commands. Leaving the old-<type> flag empty will result in the default value being used.

The PIN is used for signing, so you should set that to a value you can remember. The PUK is used to reset the PIN in case you forget, without needing to regenerate the signing key.

We recommend configuring these after the initial setup and key generation.

Tested Devices

This set of commands has been tested against the following hardware:

  • YubiKey 5C
  • YuibiKey 5C Nano FIPS
  • YubiKey 4 Series

Note: We aim to expand this list. If you have hardware and can test it out, please send a PR with your results!

Tests can be run against a device with the following command. WARNING: These tests will destroy any keys on your device.

$ go test ./test -tags=resetyubikey,e2e -count=1

WARNING: These tests will destroy any keys on your device.

Attestations

There are two attestations available from the hardware key. The first is the device attestation. This can be used to verify the hardware is authentic and came from the manufacturer. To verify this, retrieve the manufacturers CA. See here for instructions from Yubico.

This certificate can be validated with openssl or other tooling:

This can be verified against the device attestation cert, which forms a chain back to the manufacturer.
