YubiKey OTP Validation Server
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
The YubiKey Validation Server (YK-VAL) is a server that validates
|
|
Yubikey One-Time Passwords (OTPs). YK-VAL is written in PHP, for use
|
|
behind web servers such as Apache.

|
General
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
The server implements the Yubico API protocol as defined in
|
|
doc/ValidationProtocol* and further documentation is also available in
|
|
the doc/ subdirectory.
|
|
|
|
This server talks to a KSM service for decrypting the OTPs, to avoid
|
|
storing any AES keys on the validation server. One implementation of
|
|
this service is the YubiKey-KSM --
|
|
https://developers.yubico.com/yubikey-ksm/ -- and another
|
|
implementation using the YubiHSM hardware is PyHSM:

|
|
|
|
Note that version 1.x is a minimal centralized server. Version 2.x is
|
|
a replicated system that uses multiple machines.
