| Post subject: | Password Safe Database Re-Encryption |
I have a basic question about YubiKey use with Password Safe. According to the documentation the YubiKey "Re-encrypts password database with a new random challenge each time" Let's say I have a Password Safe database opened using the Yubi Key - at this point the information is decrypted since I can read it on the screen. So when is the database re-encrypted? Is it when I close the database? also, next time I open it again with my backup YubiKey how is it possible to decrypt it with a different key? Thanks. |

Hello Skynolimit, I would suggest you to ask this question in Password Safe forum, since we just provide the key with HMAC challenge response. I have an idea on how they implement their protocol but never gave it a deep look. I guess (hope) they combine the output of the YubiKey with a password. If you will get an answer in their forum would be nice from you to link the post in this thread. Tom. |
