OpenSC @ FOSDEM 2011

  • What, Where, When?
    • FOSDEM 2011, February 05-06 2011, Brussels, Belgium. Security / hardware crypto devroom took place on Saturday, 05.02.2011 in room AW1.105, from 13.00 to 19.00.
  • Why?
    • To raise the awareness of OpenSC and smart cards in general; to meet with other developers and promote integration; to meet with a wide audience and hear their thoughts and needs; to have fun and enjoy Belgian beer. (thread on opensc-devel).

Activities

  • Devroom, “Security and hardware cryptography” (see below), with talk(s) about OpenSC/smart cards ecosystem/PKCS#11
  • A dinner in the evening

Devroom

This was proposed to the FOSDEM people, fields in bold went into the application. (Confirmation e-mail)

  • devroom name: “Security / hardware crypto keys”
  • topic, goals and target projects
    • see above “Why?”
    • as long as there is software that has a “key_file …; certificate_file …;” stanza in the configuration file and does not work with hardware based keys, there is progress to be made.
    • to map the open source software scene and promote interoperability.
    • to promote and help developers integrate with crypto the “best possible way” and share best practices
  • related projects and participants:
    • OpenSC
      • To have seamless support in applications for cards supported by OpenSC, either pre-personalized with created with pkcs15-init or some other mechanism.
    • NSS (confirmed, Kai Engert)
    • EJBCA (confirmed, Tomas Gustavsson)
      • signing certificates via OpenSC PKCS#11, assuring that a relatively straightforward personalization/enrollment would be possible with OpenSC. Full cycle from generation to certification and destruction.
    • libssh (confirmed, Aris Adamantiadis, Andreas Schneider)
    • GnomeKeyring (confirmed, Stef Walter)
    • GnuTLS (confirmed, Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos and Simon Josefsson)
    • yaSSL (confirmed, Larry Stefonic)
    • libssh2 (confirmed, Peter Stuge, Daniel Stenberg & Simon Josefsson)
    • libcurl (confirmed, Daniel Stenberg)
    • GNU SASL, GNU Shishi, GNU Generic Security Service (confirmed, Simon Josefsson)
    • dynalogin modular and versatile two-factor authentication suite
    • OATH ToolkitOATH HOTP/TOTP/etc implementation
    • Fribid
  • comments

Brainstorm

  • (martin) To catch the attention of developers, share a leaflet with the problem description while wearing a properly themed t-shirt with the message “Protect your privates!” and a complimentary condom. Would be quite funny and catchy, if some condom manufacturer donated a few hundred/thousand condoms for health (and tech!) education purposes.
