Introduction To Admin Commands
Introduction To Admin Commands
We provide a suite of administrative commands designed to manage and configure its hardware security devices. These commands facilitate various operations, including seed management, key derivation, and authentication settings. Key admin commands include:
| Admin Command | Description |
|---|---|
| Seed Administration | Manage cryptographic seeds that are essential for key generation and security operations. |
| Change Pairing Key | Change the pairing key to maintain secure communication between devices. |
| Derive Key | Derive keys from existing seeds for various cryptographic purposes. |
| Get Public Key (Pubkey) | Retrieve the public key associated with a specific private key stored on the device. |
| Get History | Access the history of operations or transactions performed by the device. |
| Set Pin Authentication (Pin Auth) | Configure PIN-based authentication mechanisms to enhance device security. |
| Set Pinless Path | Define operations or paths that can be executed without PIN authentication. |
| User Key Management (Add, Check, and Delete) | Introduce a new user key into the device's key management system, verify an existing key, and remove a user key from the device. |
| Challenge Response | Implement challenge-response authentication protocols to verify identities securely. |
Communication Libraries
We offer communication libraries in Python and Rust to facilitate integration and management of these commands within your applications.
-
Python Library: A Python library for card communication, enabling high-level functions to interact with Cryptnox devices.
- Link To The Repository: Python Repository
-
Rust Library: A Rust library providing high-level functions to send instructions and manage the lifecycle of Cryptnox smartcard applets.
- Link To The Repository: Rust Repository
Note
We currently offer the documentation for Python library. The documentation for the Rust library will soon be made available.
These libraries are designed to streamline the integration of Cryptnox devices into your projects, offering a programmatic approach to execute admin commands and manage device functionalities effectively.
Card Object
The following code snippet shows the Python object to get the Cryptnox card:
def get_card():
return cp.factory.get_card(cp.Connection())
