* Package name : python-yubihsm Version : 3.0.0 Upstream Contact: Dain Nilsson <d...@yubico.com> * URL : https://github.com/Yubico/python-yubihsm * License : Apache-2.0 Programming Lang: Python Description : Python library for the YubiHSM 2 The YubiHSM 2 is a USB-attached device for managing cryptographic keys. This package contains a Python interface to it, communicating via yubihsm-connector. We're in the process of starting to use a YubiHSM in Freexian, and I have hardware that I can use to test this. For some purposes (signing using keys that are already loaded into the HSM) it's possible to just interact with the HSM over PKCS#11, but for others we need finer control over things like capabilities, and to do this from Python code it's more pleasant to have a proper module rather than having to drive yubihsm-shell from Python. This package could reasonably live under either pkg-security-team or the Python team, but I think I'll go with pkg-security-team since it's pretty closely linked with the other YubiHSM packages I've uploaded recently. -- Colin Watson (he/him) [cjwat...@debian.org]
