Bug#407068: ITP: libpam-rsa -- PAM module for local authentication with RSA keypairs
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
* Package name : libpam-rsa
* Version : 0.8-9
* Upstream Author : Vesa-Matti Kari <pamrsa-bugs@laamanaama.helsinki.fi>
* URL : http://www.helsinki.fi/~vmkari/pamrsa/
* License : LGPL
* Description : (follows)
The libpam-rsa PAM module is for local PAM authentication with RSA
keypairs. pam_rsa will look for user-associated public RSA keys in the
local system and will encrypt a message using the user's public RSA key.
Then it will look for a private key in a portable media like a USB
memory stick and will try to decode the message. This implements a poor
man's smartcard-like functionality.
End of description. My work on this package has already begun (I have a
working, non-Policy compliant package). I've been using this module for
a while in my own laptop (no problems, well integrated code), and as
soon as I solve Linda/Lintian warnings I'll contact an sponsor.
As always, any help and comments will be greatly appreciated. Thank you,
WNPP-people.
Jose
Note: I'm aware of the hyphen in the version number.
