nitrokey-rs, branch v0.5.2

Release v0.5.2

2020-01-28T20:05:57Z

This patch release makes the handling of the randomly generated temporary passwords more robust.

Regenerate temporary passwords with null bytes

2020-01-28T20:05:33Z

Previously, we silently cut off temporary passwords that contained a null byte. With the change to CString, we returned a LibraryError instead. With this patch, we change to generate_password function to continue generating passwords until we have a password without a null byte. The chance of generating a password with a null byte is ca. 10 % for our temporary password with 25 characters. Therefore the chance of having to re-generate the password multiple times is low enough that we don’t bother with re-generating only the null bytes of the password for the time being. This should be improved in the future.

Remove AuthenticatedDevice::temp_password_ptr

2020-01-28T20:05:13Z

We introduced the AuthenticatedDevice::temp_password_ptr function to reduce the number of casts needed in our code base. Since we switched from Vec to CString, we no longer have to cast the return value of as_ptr. Therefore we can remove the temp_password_ptr function to reduce code complexity.

Use CString to store temporary passwords

2020-01-28T20:05:03Z

This patch changes the generate_password function and the User and Admin structs to use a CString instead of a Vec when storing temporary passwords. This makes sure that the strings that are passed to the C API are properly null-terminated.

Release v0.5.1

2020-01-15T12:22:22Z

This patch release contains a fix for the serial number formatting in the list_devices function for Nitrokey Pro devices with firmware versions older than 0.9.

Fix serial number for older Nitrokey Pro in list_devices

2020-01-15T12:19:13Z

Previously, we assumed that the serial number returned by hidapi contains the Nitrokey serial number as the least significant bytes. As disussed here [0], this is not true for Nitrokey Pro devices with firmware version 0.8 or older: They write the serial number to the most significant bytes instead. This patch update the get_hidapi_serial_number function so that list_devices now returns the correctly formatted and truncated serial number for all Nitrokey Pro devices. It also makes sure that the serial number is lowercase to be consistent with libnitrokey’s formatting.

Fix link to examples in README

2020-01-14T17:28:47Z

docs.rs seems to support only versioned links to source files. This patch replaces the link to docs.rs with a link to git.ireas.org to avoid having to update the link with every release. (Note that the last release already contained a link to the wrong version.)

Fix license identifier in examples/*.rs

2020-01-14T17:20:25Z

This patch replaces the invalid license identifier CC-0 with the correct identifier CC0-1.0.
