Logging enabled through +this option will appear on the standard error stream. This option can be +supplied multiple times. A single occurrence will show additional warnings. +Commands sent to the device will be shown when supplied three times and full +device communication is available with four occurrences. Supplying this option +five times enables the highest verbosity. +.TP +\fB\-V\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR +Print the nitrocli version and exit. +.SH COMMANDS +.SS General +.TP +.B nitrocli status +Print the status of the connected Nitrokey device, including the stick serial +number, the firmware version, and the PIN retry count. If the device is a +Nitrokey Storage, also print storage related information including the SD card +serial number, the encryption status, and the status of the volumes. +.TP +.B nitrocli lock +Lock the Nitrokey. +This command locks the password safe (see the Password safe section). On the +Nitrokey Storage, it will also close any active encrypted or hidden volumes (see +the Storage section). +.TP +.B nitrocli reset +Perform a factory reset on the Nitrokey. +This command performs a factory reset on the OpenPGP smart card, clears the +flash storage and builds a new AES key. +The user PIN is reset to 123456, the admin PIN to 12345678. + +This command requires the admin PIN. +To avoid accidental calls of this command, the user has to enter the PIN even +if it has been cached. + +.SS Storage +The Nitrokey Storage comes with a storage area. This area is comprised of an +\fIunencrypted\fR region and an \fIencrypted\fR one of fixed sizes, each made +available to the user in the form of block devices. The encrypted region can +optionally further be overlayed with up to four \fIhidden\fR volumes. Because of +this overlay (which is required to achieve plausible deniability of the +existence of hidden volumes), the burden of ensuring that data on the encrypted +volume does not overlap with data on one of the hidden volumes is on the user. +.TP +\fBnitrocli unencrypted set \fImode\fR +Change the read-write mode of the volume. +\fImode\fR is the type of the mode to change to: \fBread-write\fR to make the +volume readable and writable or \fBread-only\fR to make it only readable. +This command requires the admin PIN. + +Note that this command requires firmware version 0.51 or higher. Earlier +versions are not supported. +.TP +\fBnitrocli encrypted open +Open the encrypted volume on the Nitrokey Storage. +The user PIN that is required to open the volume is queried using +\fBpinentry\fR(1) and cached by \fBgpg\-agent\fR(1). +.TP +\fBnitrocli encrypted close +Close the encrypted volume on the Nitrokey Storage. +.TP +\fBnitrocli hidden create \fIslot\fR \fIstart\fR \fIend\fR +Create a new hidden volume inside the encrypted volume. \fIslot\fR must indicate +one of the four available slots. \fIstart\fR and \fIend\fR represent, +respectively, the start and end position of the hidden volume inside the +encrypted volume, as a percentage of the encrypted volume's size. +This command requires a password which is later used to look up the hidden +volume to open. Unlike a PIN, this password is not cached by \fBgpg\-agent\fR(1). +.TP +\fBnitrocli hidden open +Open a hidden volume. The volume to open is determined based on the password +entered, which must have a minimum of six characters. Only one hidden volume can +be active at any point in time and previously opened volumes will be +automatically closed. Similarly, the encrypted volume will be closed if it was +open. +.TP +\fBnitrocli hidden close +Close a hidden volume. + +.SS One-time passwords +The Nitrokey Pro and the Nitrokey Storage support the generation of one-time +passwords using the HOTP algorithm according to RFC 4226 or the TOTP algorithm +according to RFC 6238. +The required data \(en a name and the secret \(en is stored in slots. +Currently, the Nitrokey devices provide three HOTP slots and 15 TOTP slots. +The slots are numbered per algorithm starting at zero. +.P +The TOTP algorithm is a modified version of the HOTP algorithm that also uses +the current time. +Therefore, the Nitrokey clock must be synchronized with the clock of the +application that requests the one-time password. +.TP +\fBnitrocli otp get \fIslot

default, this commands sets the Nitrokey's time to the system time if the +TOTP algorithm is selected. +If \fB\-\-time\fR is set, it is set to \fItime\fR instead, which must be a Unix +timestamp

+With the \fB\-\-numlock\fR, \fB\-\-capslock\fR and \fB\-\-scrollock\fR options, +the respective bindings can be set. +\fIslot\fR is the number of the HOTP slot to bind the key to. +If \fB\-\-no\-numlock\fR, \fB\-\-no\-capslock\fR or \fB\-\-no\-scrollock\fR is +set, the respective binding is disabled. +The two corresponding options are mutually exclusive. + +If \fB\-\-otp\-pin\fR is set, the user PIN will be required to generate one-time +passwords using the \fBotp get\fR command. +If \fB\-\-no\-otp\-pin\fR is set, OTP generation can be performed without PIN. +These two options are mutually exclusive. + +.SS Password safe +The Nitrokey Pro and the Nitrokey Storage provide a password safe (PWS) with 20 +slots. +In each of these slots you can store a name, a login, and a password. +The PWS is not encrypted, but it is protected with the user PIN by the firmware. +Once the PWS is unlocked by one of the commands listed below, it can be +accessed without authentication. +You can use the \fBlock\fR command to lock the password safe. +.TP +\fBnitrocli pws get \fIslot \fR[\fB\-n\fR|\fB\-\-name\fR] \ +[\fB\-l\fR|\fB\-\-login\fR] \ +[\fB\-p\fR|\fB\-\-password\fR] \

or more of the options \fB\-\-name\fR, \fB\-\-login\fR, and +\fB\-\-password\fR are set, only the selected fields are printed. +The order of the fields never changes. + +The fields are printed together with a label. +Use the \fB\-\-quiet\fR option to suppress the labels and to only output the +values stored in the PWS slot. +.TP +\fBnitrocli pws set \fIslot name login password\fR +Set the content of a PWS slot. +\fIslot\fR is the number of the slot to write. +\fIname\fR, \fIlogin\fR, and \fIpassword\fR represent the data to write to the +slot. +.TP +\fBnitrocli pws clear \fIslot\fR

slots are ignored. + +.SS PINs +Nitrokey devices have two PINs: the user PIN and the admin PIN. The user +PIN must have at least six, the admin PIN at least eight characters. The +user PIN is required for commands such as \fBotp get\fR (depending on +the configuration) and for all \fBpws\fR commands. +The admin PIN is usually required to change the device configuration. +.P +Each PIN has a retry counter that is decreased with every wrong PIN entry and +reset if the PIN was entered correctly. +The initial retry counter is three. +If the retry counter for the user PIN is zero, you can use the +\fBpin unblock\fR command to unblock and reset the user PIN. +If the retry counter for the admin PIN is zero, you have to perform a factory +reset using the \fBreset\fR command or \fBgpg\fR(1). +Use the \fBstatus\fR command to check the retry counters. +.TP +.B nitrocli pin clear +Clear the PINs cached by the other commands. Note that cached PINs are +associated with the device they belong to and the \fBclear\fR command will only +clear the PIN for the currently used device, not all others. +.TP +\fBnitrocli pin set \fItype\fR +Change a PIN. +\fItype\fR is the type of the PIN that will be changed: \fBadmin\fR to change +the admin PIN or \fBuser\fR to change the user PIN. +This command only works if the retry counter for the PIN type is at least one. +(Use the \fBstatus\fR command to check the retry counters.) +.TP +.B nitrocli pin unblock +Unblock and reset the user PIN. +This command requires the admin PIN. +The admin PIN cannot be unblocked. +This operation is equivalent to the unblock PIN option provided by \fBgpg\fR(1) +(using the \fB\-\-change\-pin\fR option). + +.SH ENVIRONMENT +The program honors a set of environment variables that can be used to +suppress interactive PIN entry through \fBpinentry\fR(1). The following +variables are recognized: +.TP +.B NITROCLI_ADMIN_PIN +The admin PIN to use. +.TP +.B NITROCLI_USER_PIN +The user PIN to use. +.TP +.B NITROCLI_NEW_ADMIN_PIN +The new admin PIN to set. This variable is only used by the \fBpin set\fR +command for the \fBadmin\fR type. +.TP +.B NITROCLI_NEW_USER_PIN +The new user PIN to set. This variable is only used by the \fBpin set\fR command +for the \fBuser\fR type. +.TP +.B NITROCLI_PASSWORD +A password used by commands that require one (e.g., \fBhidden open\fR). +.TP +.B NITROCLI_NO_CACHE +If this variable is present in the environment, do not cache any inquired +secrets using \fBgpg\-agent\fR(1) but ask for them each time they are needed. +Note that this variable does not cause any cached secrets to be cleared. If a +secret is already in the cache it will be ignored, but left otherwise untouched. +Use the \fBpin clear\fR command to clear secrets from the cache. + +.SH EXAMPLES +.SS Storage +Create a hidden volume in the first available slot, starting at half the size of +the encrypted volume (i.e., 50%) and stretching all the way to its end (100%): + $ \fBnitrocli hidden create 0 50 100\fR + +.SS One-time passwords +Configure a one-time password slot with a hexadecimal secret representation: + $ \fBnitrocli otp set 0 test\-rfc4226 3132333435363738393031323334353637383930 \-\-algorithm hotp\fR + $ \fBnitrocli otp set 1 test\-foobar 666F6F626172 \-\-algorithm hotp\fR + $ \fBnitrocli otp set 0 test\-rfc6238 3132333435363738393031323334353637383930 \-\-algorithm totp \-\-digits 8\fR +.P +Configure a one-time password slot with an ASCII secret representation: + $ \fBnitrocli otp set 0 test\-rfc4226 12345678901234567890 \-\-format ascii \-\-algorithm hotp\fR + $ \fBnitrocli otp set 1 test\-foobar foobar \-\-format ascii \-\-algorithm hotp\fR + $ \fBnitrocli otp set 0 test\-rfc6238 12345678901234567890 \-\-format ascii \-\-algorithm totp \-\-digits 8\fR +.P +Configure a one-time password slot with a base32 secret representation: + $ \fBnitrocli otp set 0 test\-rfc4226 gezdgnbvgy3tqojqgezdgnbvgy3tqojq \-\-format base32 \-\-algorithm hotp\fR + $ \fBnitrocli otp set 1 test\-foobar mzxw6ytboi====== \-\-format base32 \-\-algorithm hotp\fR + $ \fBnitrocli otp set 0 test\-rfc6238 gezdgnbvgy3tqojqgezdgnbvgy3tqojq \-\-format base32 \-\-algorithm totp \-\-digits 8\fR +.P +Generate a one-time password: + $ \fBnitrocli otp get 0 \-\-algorithm hotp\fR + 755224 + $ \fBnitrocli otp get 0 \-\-algorithm totp \-\-time 1234567890\fR + 89005924 +.P +Clear a one-time password slot: + $ \fBnitrocli otp clear 0 \-\-algorithm hotp\fR + +.SS Configuration +Query the configuration: + $ \fBnitrocli config get\fR + Config: + numlock binding: not set + capslock binding: not set + scrollock binding: not set + require user PIN for OTP: true +.P +Change the configuration: + $ \fBnitrocli config set \-\-otp\-pin\fR + +.SS Password safe +Configure a PWS slot: + $ \fBnitrocli pws set 0 example.org john.doe passw0rd\fR + +Get the data from a slot: + $ \fBnitrocli pws get 0\fR + name: example.org + login: john.doe + password: passw0rd + +Copy the password to the clipboard (requires \fBxclip\fR(1)). + $ \fBnitrocli pws get 0 \-\-password \-\-quiet | xclip \-in\fR + +Query the PWS slots: + $ \fB nitrocli pws status\fR + slot name + 0 example.org -- cgit v1.2.1
