I am looking at the possibility of using YubiHSM to encrypt data on a server without having the ability for the same server to decrypt it - however I am having trouble getting past go with the python API.

I can connect to the HSM OK, generate keys and unlock them with no issues through a terminal. However when I attempt to unlock the keys using pyhsm I am told the master key which I use successfully through the terminal is too long.

Hey,

What you're missing is that you need to hex decode the password before you pass it to the unlock function. See https://github.com/Yubico/python-pyhsm/ ... unlock#L76 for an example of how this is done in the yhsm-keystore-unlock utility.
