exile 0.1.0

Python Yubikey AWS signature library

Exile stores your AWS access key on your YubiKey device and uses it to sign your AWS API requests, protecting you against credential theft.

Installation

pip install exile

On Linux, install libpcsclite-dev (apt install libpcsclite-dev, yum install pcsc-lite-devel).

Exile requires Python 3.6+. Python 2.7 is not supported.

Synopsis

import boto3, botocore.auth
from exile import YKOATH, botocore_signers

def write_active_aws_key_to_yubikey():
    credentials = boto3.Session().get_credentials()

    key_name = "exile-{}-SigV4".format(credentials.access_key)
    secret = b"AWS4" + credentials.secret_key.encode()
    print("Writing YubiKey OATH SigV4 credential", key_name, "for", credentials.access_key)
    YKOATH().put(key_name, secret, algorithm=YKOATH.Algorithm.SHA256)

    key_name = "exile-{}-HmacV1".format(credentials.access_key)
    secret = credentials.secret_key.encode()
    print("Writing YubiKey OATH HmacV1 credential", key_name, "for", credentials.access_key)
    YKOATH().put(key_name, secret, algorithm=YKOATH.Algorithm.SHA1)

write_active_aws_key_to_yubikey()
botocore_signers.install()

print("Using YubiKey credential to perform AWS call")
print(boto3.client("sts").get_caller_identity())

print("Using YubiKey credential to presign an S3 URL")
print(boto3.client("s3").generate_presigned_url(ClientMethod="get_object", Params={"Bucket": "foo", "Key": "bar"}))

TOTP

Because exile uses the YubiKey OATH protocol, you can also use it to store TOTP 2FA tokens, generate and verify codes:

from exile import TOTP
TOTP().save("google", "JBSWY3DPEHPK3PXP")  # Or TOTP.save_otpauth_uri("otpauth://...")
TOTP().get("google")  # Returns a standard 6-digit TOTP code as a string
TOTP().verify("260153", label="google", at=datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(1297553958))
