Множественные личности

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.

Использование

Для изменения идентификатора достаточно послать пользовательскую команду CCID. Этого можно добиться с помощью инструмента pynitrokey:

1. Установите pynitrokey.

2. Подключите Nitrokey Start и убедитесь, что он распознан.

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

3. Измените идентичность, заменив <ID> на 0, 1, или 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
