Identități multiple

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.

Utilizare

Pentru a schimba identitatea este suficient să se trimită o comandă CCID personalizată. Acest lucru poate fi realizat cu instrumentul pynitrokey:

1. Instalează pynitrokey.

2. Conectați Nitrokey Start și verificați dacă a fost recunoscut.

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

3. Modificați identitatea, înlocuind <ID> cu 0, 1 sau 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
   

Limitări

Începând cu versiunea RTM.10, există o singură limitare - a treia identitate poate stoca un certificat cu o lungime maximă de 1024 de octeți. Celelalte două identități au o limită standard de 2048 de octeți pe certificat.
