# nitrokey-rs

A libnitrokey wrapper for Rust providing access to Nitrokey devices.

[Documentation][]

```toml
[dependencies]
nitrokey = "0.1.0"
```

## Compatibility

In order to use this crate, a [`libnitrokey`][] installation is required
(both development headers and library).  The crate is developed using version
3.2, but any newer version should work too.

As I only have access to a Nitrokey Pro, this crate only provides support for
the Nitrokey Pro methods.  If you want to contribute for the Nitrokey Storage,
please send a mail to [nitrokey-rs-dev@ireas.org][].

### Unsupported Functions

The following functions provided by `libnitrokey` are deliberately not
supported by `nitrokey-rs`:

- `NK_get_time()`.  This method is useless as it will always cause a timestamp
  error on the device (see [pull request #114][] for `libnitrokey` for details).
- `NK_get_status()`.  This method only provides a string representation of
  data that can be accessed by other methods (firmware version, seriel number,
  configuration).

## Tests

The default test suite assumes that no Nitrokey device is connected and only
performs minor sanity checks.  There is another test suite that assumes that a
Nitrokey Pro is connected (admin password `12345678`, user password `123456`).
To execute this test suite, run `cargo test --no-default-features --features 
test-pro -- --test-threads 1`.  Note that this test suite might lock your stick
if you have different passwords!

The `totp` and `totp_pin` tests can occasionally fail due to bad timing.  Also
make sure to run the tests sequentially (`--test-threads 1`), otherwise they
might interfere.

The `get_major_firmware_version` test will fail for newer `libnitrokey`
versions as it relies on buggy behavior in version 3.2.
