Title:
[udev] FIDO u2f security keys should be supported out of the box
Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Status in systemd source package in Trusty:
Confirmed
Status in systemd source package in Xenial:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[Impact]
* Users plugin U2F key and it does not work in Google Chrome
[Test Case]
* Have stock ubuntu install, without custom U2F rules or libu2f-host0
installed
* Use U2F factor authentication website e.g. google apps, github,
yubico, etc.
* Pluging in the key, should just work and complete U2F
authentication instead of timing out
[Regression Potential]
* Should not conflict with libu2f-host0 udev rules which is where
these are currently shipped
FIDO u2f is an emerging standard for public-private cryptography based
2nd factor authentication, which improves on OTP by mitigating
phishing, man-in-the-middle attacks and reply attacks.
Google Chrome supports u2f devices which are now widely available from
Yubico (new premium neo Yubikeys and Security keys).
However, udev rules are required to setup permissions to allow the
web-browsers which are running as regular users to access the devices
in question.
E.g.:
KERNEL=="hidraw*", SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", MODE="0664", GROUP="plugdev",
ATTRS{idVendor}=="1050", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0113|0114|0115|0116|0120"
Something like that should be enabled by default, however probably not
encode on the vendor/productid as other vendors will also make u2f
devices.
