Canokey on STM32

Build Status FOSSA Status

CanoKey is an open-source USB/NFC security token, providing the following functions:

  • OpenPGP Card V3.4 (RSA, ECDSA, ED25519 supported)
  • PIV Card
  • TOTP / HOTP (RFC6238 / RFC4226)
  • U2F
  • FIDO2 (WebAuthn)

It works on modern Linux/Windows/macOS operating systems without additional driver required.

Hardware

Current Canokey implementation is based on STM32L432KC MCU, which features a Cortex-M4 processor, 256KiB Flash, 64 KiB SRAM, and a full-speed USB controller.

Canokey NFC-A

This official hardware design features a USB Type-A plug, NFC antenna and touch sensing. It's an open-source hardware design. Schematics and PCB design files are published at canokey-hardware.

NUCLEO-L432KC (Development Board)

For demonstration purposes, you may run this project on the NUCLEO-L432KC development board with the following hardware connection:

  • D2 (PA12) <-> USB D+
  • D10 (PA11) <-> USB D-
  • GND <-> USB GND
  • 5V <-> USB Power

The NFC and touch sensing functions are unavailable on NUCLEO board.

The micro USB port on board connects to ST-LINK. Do not confuse it with USB signal pins of MCU.

Build and test

Build the Firmware

Prerequisites:

  • CMake >= 3.6
  • GNU ARM Embedded Toolchain, downloaded from ARM
  • git (used to generate embedding version string)

Build steps:

# clone this repo and all the submodules
# in the top-level folder
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCROSS_COMPILE=<path-to-toolchain>/bin/arm-none-eabi- \
    -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../toolchain.cmake \
    -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make canokey.bin

Then download the firmware file canokey.bin to the STM32 with flash programming tools (e.g., ST-Link Utility if you use the NUCLEO-L432KC, or the dfu-util, or the WebDFU).

Initialize and Test

Prerequisites:

  • Linux OS with pcscd, pcsc_scan and scriptor installed

Connect the Canokey to PC, an USB CCID device should show up. The pcsc_scan command should be able to detect a smart card:

Then, initialize the Canokey by running device-config-init.sh. This script will login as admin with default PIN 123456, set device serial number to current Unix timestamp, write the EEPROM of NFC chip (if any), then write an attestation certificate used by FIDO. Refer to admin doc if you want to customize these steps.
