Meervoudige Identiteiten

The multiple identities feature allows to use 3 virtual smart cards in place of one, giving bigger flexibility in the every day use, as well as separation between user identities (business, personal etc.) or even allowing usage of it for more than one user (PINs are separate).

All of the smart cards have separate data objects, meaning they all could have different keys, certificates stored, and PINs set. Identities do not interact between each other.

The virtual smart cards are identifiable by the first digit of the serial number, which is replaced by identity number for second (“1”) and third one (“2”). Serial number is not changed for the first identity.

Gebruik

Om de identiteit te veranderen volstaat het om een aangepast CCID commando te sturen. Dit kan worden bereikt met pynitrokey tool:

1. Installeer pynitrokey.

2. Sluit uw Nitrokey Start aan en controleer of hij herkend wordt.

   $ nitropy start list
   *** Nitrokey tool for Nitrokey FIDO2 & Nitrokey Start
   :: 'Nitrokey Start' keys:
      FSIJ-1.2.15-87042524: Nitrokey Nitrokey Start (RTM.10)
   

3. Verander de identiteit, door <ID> te vervangen door 0, 1, of 2.

   $ nitropy start set-identity <ID>
   *** Nitrokey tool for Nitrokey FIDO2 & Nitrokey Start
   Trying to set identity to <ID>
   device has reset, and should now have the new identity
   

Beperkingen

Vanaf versie RTM.10 is er slechts één beperking - de derde identiteit kan een certificaat opslaan dat niet langer is dan 1024 bytes. De andere twee identiteiten hebben standaard een limiet van 2048 bytes per certificaat.
