We are pleased to announce the revised Tillitis TKey SSH Agent.
The revised agent:
- runs as a daemon all the time (as systemd user unit, if you want).
- autodetects TKey removal and insertion with the help of udev rules
(or just send it a SIGHUP yourself to make it look for a TKey
again).
- spawns a graphical pinentry program to enter the User-Supplied
Secret.
The first iteration of this revision of the SSH agent is focused on
Linux distributions and has an install target geared at Linux
distributions with systemd and an Ubuntu/Debian package available.
The agent is available on Github at:
https://github.com/tillitis/tillitis-key1-apps
and as a release with a Ubuntu/Debian package here:
https://github.com/tillitis/tillitis-key1-apps/releases/tag/v0.0.1
The package has so far only been tested on Ubuntu 20.10 (Kinetic Kudu)
and Debian Sid.
See the man page tkey-ssh-agent(1) for usage.
Happy hacking,
MC.
