This means it can be used instead of the traditional ssh-agent / pageant. There are some differences from ssh-agent, notably that gpg-agent does not _cache_ keys rather it converts, encrypts and stores them - persistently - as GPG keys and then makes them available to ssh clients. Any existing ssh private keys that you'd like to keep in `gpg-agent` should be deleted after they've been imported to the GPG agent. @@ -1206,167 +1220,105 @@ When importing the key to `gpg-agent`, you'll be prompted for a passphrase to pr Probably the biggest thing missing from `gpg-agent`'s ssh agent support is being able to remove keys. `ssh-add -d/-D` have no effect. Instead, you need to use the `gpg-connect-agent` utility to lookup a key's keygrip, match that with the desired ssh key fingerprint (as an MD5) and then delete that keygrip.

It's often a good idea to manage exactly which keys SSH will use to connect to a server, for example to separate different roles or [to avoid being fingerprinted by untrusted ssh servers](https://blog.filippo.io/ssh-whoami-filippo-io/). To do this you'll need to use the command line argument `-l [identity_file]` or the `IdentityFile` and `IdentitiesOnly` options in `.ssh/config`. The argument provided to `IdentityFile` is traditionally the path to the _private_ key file (for example `IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa`). For the Yubikey - indeed, in general for keys stored in an ssh agent - `IdentityFile` should point to the _public_ key file, `ssh` will select the appropriate private key from those available via the ssh agent. To prevent `ssh` from trying all keys in the agent use the `IdentitiesOnly yes` option along with one or more `-i` or `IdentityFile` options for the target host. To reiterate, with `IdentitiesOnly yes`, `ssh` will not automatically enumerate public keys loaded into `ssh-agent` or `gpg-agent`. This means `publickey` authentication will not proceed unless explicitly named by `ssh -i [identity_file]` or in `.ssh/config` on a per-host basis. -In the case of Yubikey usage, to extract the public key from the ssh agent: +In the case of YubiKey usage, to extract the public key from the ssh agent: - $ ssh-add -L | grep "cardno:000605553211" > ~/.ssh/id_rsa_yubikey.pub +``` +$ ssh-add -L | grep "cardno:000605553211" > ~/.ssh/id_rsa_yubikey.pub +``` Then you can explicitly associate this Yubikey-stored key for used with a host, `github.com` for example, as follows: - $ cat << EOF >> ~/.ssh/config - Host github.com - IdentitiesOnly yes - IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_yubikey.pub - EOF +``` +$ cat << EOF >> ~/.ssh/config +Host github.com + IdentitiesOnly yes + IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_yubikey.pub +EOF +``` +## Connect with public key authentication -### 4.5e Connect with public key authentication - - $ ssh git@github.com -vvv - [...] - debug2: key: cardno:000605553211 (0x1234567890), - debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey - debug3: start over, passed a different list publickey - debug3: preferred gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,publickey,keyboard-interactive,password - debug3: authmethod_lookup publickey - debug3: remaining preferred: keyboard-interactive,password - debug3: authmethod_is_enabled publickey - debug1: Next authentication method: publickey - debug1: Offering RSA public key: cardno:000605553211 - debug3: send_pubkey_test - debug2: we sent a publickey packet, wait for reply - debug1: Server accepts key: pkalg ssh-rsa blen 535 - debug2: input_userauth_pk_ok: fp e5:de:a5:74:b1:3e:96:9b:85:46:e7:28:53:b4:82:c3 - debug3: sign_and_send_pubkey: RSA e5:de:a5:74:b1:3e:96:9b:85:46:e7:28:53:b4:82:c3 - debug1: Authentication succeeded (publickey). - [...] - +``` +$ ssh git@github.com -vvv +[...] +debug2: key: cardno:000605553211 (0x1234567890), +debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey +debug3: start over, passed a different list publickey +debug3: preferred gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,publickey,keyboard-interactive,password +debug3: authmethod_lookup publickey +debug3: remaining preferred: keyboard-interactive,password +debug3: authmethod_is_enabled publickey +debug1: Next authentication method: publickey +debug1: Offering RSA public key: cardno:000605553211 +debug3: send_pubkey_test +debug2: we sent a publickey packet, wait for reply +debug1: Server accepts key: pkalg ssh-rsa blen 535 +debug2: input_userauth_pk_ok: fp e5:de:a5:74:b1:3e:96:9b:85:46:e7:28:53:b4:82:c3 +debug3: sign_and_send_pubkey: RSA e5:de:a5:74:b1:3e:96:9b:85:46:e7:28:53:b4:82:c3 +debug1: Authentication succeeded (publickey). +[...] +``` **Note** To make multiple connections or securely transfer many files, consider using the [ControlMaster](https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSSH/Cookbook/Multiplexing) ssh option.

You should then remove the original private keys. When importing the key, `gpg-agent` uses the key's filename as the key's label; this makes it easier to follow where the key originated from.

The passphrase will be cached for up to 10 minutes idle time between uses, to a maximum of 2 hours. - -## 4.6 SSH - Windows - -Begin by exporting your SSH key from GPG: - - $ gpg --export-ssh-key $USERID - - -Copy this key to a file and keep it for later use. It represents the public SSH key corresponding to the secret key on your YubiKey. You can upload this key to any server you wish to SSH into. - -To authenticate SSH sessions via our YubiKey we need to enable Gpg4Win's PuTTY integration. Create a file named `gpg-agent.conf` and place it in the directory `C:\%APPDATA%\gnupg`. -The file should contain the line `enable-putty-support`. - -Then, open a terminal and run the following commands: - - > gpg-connect-agent killagent /bye - > gpg-connect-agent /bye - -Create a shortcut that points to `gpg-connect-agent /bye` and place it in your startup folder to make sure the agent starts after a system shutdown. - -Now you can use PuTTY for public key SSH authentication. When the server asks for publickey verification, PuTTY will foward the request to GPG, whcih will prompt you for your PIN and authorize the login using your YubiKey. - -### 4.6a GitHub - -You can use your YubiKey to sign GitHub commits and tags. It can also be used for GitHub SSH authentication, allowing you to push, pull, and commit without your GitHub password. - -Log into GitHub and upload your SSH and PGP public keys. - -#### Signing - -Then run the following commands: - - > git config --global user.signingkey $KEYID - -Make sure your user.email option matches the email associated with your PGP identity. - -Now, to sign commits or tags simply use the `-S` option. GPG will automatically query your YubiKey and prompt you for your PIN. - -#### Authentication - -Run the following commands **(only for Windows)**: - - > git config --global core.sshcommand 'plink -agent' - -You can then change your repository url to: -`git@github.com:USERNAME/repository`.

Setting an expiry essentially forces you to manage your subkeys and announces to the rest of the world that you are doing so. Setting an expiry on a primary key is ineffective for protecting the key from loss - whoever has the primary key can simply extend its expiry period. Revocation certificates are [better suited](https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/14718/does-openpgp-key-expiration-add-to-security/79386#79386) for this purpose. It may be appropriate for your use case to set expiry dates on subkeys. -# 6.
