:toc: left :source-highlighter: pygments :doctype: book :idprefix: :docinfo: pivy Simple-to-use PIV client for Linux and OSX. Includes the tools , , and . About This is an implementation of a simple PIV client for desktop Linux and OSX with minimal dependencies. It contains a binary which can conduct basic operations using PIV cards, and the , which implements the SSH agent protocol as a drop-in replacement for the OpenSSH command (except that the keys it contains are always on a PIV card). "PIV cards" notably includes Yubico Yubikey devices such as the NEO and Yubikey4, which can store up to 24 keys by using the "retired key" slots (which this agent supports). This project re-uses most of the agent and protocol parsing code from OpenSSH, where it's been pretty thoroughly battle-hardened. Using Using the PIV agent is identical to running the normal command, with the exception that requires a argument specifying the GUID of the PIV card to attach to, and you don't have to use to load any keys. You can also give a argument with the public key of the "Card Authentication" slot (9E) for extra security.
