Encrypting with an API and Yubikey 4

2017-07-17T01:45:54+01:00

I have a project I'm working on where I need to use a Yubikey 4 to symmetrically encrypt/decrypt data on Mac & Windows.

Ideally, I could use an API that wouldn't require having the user install software, but that's not a requirement. If I do have to install something; the simpler the installation, the better.

I can call into the API with Java or C.

I'll need to:
1. Load a symmetric key into the yubikey (and others accessing the same application)
2. Call to an inserted yubikey with an API to encrypt or decrypt a block of data

Thanks for any hints on where to begin.

Cheers!
