Properties

Aaguid

The AAGUID, unique to the authenticator and model. This is a REQUIRED value.

public ReadOnlyMemory<byte> Aaguid { get; }

Property Value

ReadOnlyMemory<byte>

Algorithms

The list of supported algorithms for credential generation. This is an optional value and can be null.

public IReadOnlyList<Tuple<string, CoseAlgorithmIdentifier>>? Algorithms { get; }

Property Value

IReadOnlyList<Tuple<string, CoseAlgorithmIdentifier>>

Remarks

Each entry in the list is a type and algorithm. Neither the type nor algorithm are guaranteed to be unique, although each combination is. Currently, the only type defined is "public-key". The only algorithm the YubiKey supports is ECDSA with SHA-256 using the NIST P-256 curve. This is the pair "public-key"/CoseAlgorithmIdentifier.ES256.

Certifications

The list of certifications the YubiKey has obtained. Each certification is a string and number. The string is the name of the certification, and the number describes the level. See The FIDO standard for more information, specifically section 7.3 of CTAP. This property is OPTIONAL, and if the YubiKey provides no value, this will be null.

public IReadOnlyDictionary<string, int>? Certifications { get; }

Property Value

IReadOnlyDictionary<string, int>

Extensions

List of extension strings of CTAP supported by the authenticator. This property is OPTIONAL, and if the YubiKey provides no value, this will be null.

public IReadOnlyList<string>? Extensions { get; }

Property Value

IReadOnlyList<string>

FirmwareVersion

The version of the firmware on the YubiKey. Note that this is an int, not an instance of the FirmwareVersion class. The standard specifies returning an int. This property is OPTIONAL, and if the YubiKey provides no value, this will be null.

public int? FirmwareVersion { get; }

Property Value

int?

Remarks

If you examine the result as a hexadecimal 32-bit value, the major, minor, and Patch numbers will be bytes 2, 1, and 0. For example, if the YubiKey's firmware is vers 5.4.2, then the result will be decimal 328,706, which in hex is 0x00050402.

ForcePinChange

If true, certain PIN commands will return errors until the PIN has been changed. If false, a PIN change is not necessary. This property is OPTIONAL, and if the YubiKey provides no value, this will be null.

public bool? ForcePinChange { get; }

Property Value

bool?

MaximumCredentialBlobLength

The maximum length, in bytes, of the "credBlob" if supported. This property is OPTIONAL, and if the YubiKey provides no value, this will be null.

public int? MaximumCredentialBlobLength { get; }

Property Value

int?

MaximumCredentialCountInList

The maximum number of credentials in the CredentialID list. Note that this is not the maximum number of credentials on a YubiKey, but the maximum number of credentials represented in a CredentialID list. This property is OPTIONAL, and if the YubiKey provides no value, this will be null.

public int? MaximumCredentialCountInList { get; }

Property Value

int?

MaximumCredentialIdLength

The maximum length of a CredentialID. This property is OPTIONAL, and if the YubiKey provides no value, this will be null.

public int? MaximumCredentialIdLength { get; }

Property Value

int?

MaximumMessageSize

The maximum size, in bytes, of a message sent to the YubiKey. This property is OPTIONAL, and if the YubiKey provides no value, this will be null. The standard specifies a default of 1024 (see the field DefaultMaximumMessageSize).

public int? MaximumMessageSize { get; }

Property Value

int?

MaximumRpidsForSetMinPinLength

The maximum number of Relying Party IDs that the YubiKey can set via the setMinPINLength subcommand. This property is OPTIONAL, and if the YubiKey provides no value, this will be null.

public int? MaximumRpidsForSetMinPinLength { get; }

Property Value

int?

MaximumSerializedLargeBlobArray

The maximum size, in bytes, of the serialized large-blob array that this YubiKey can store. If the authenticatorLargeBlobs command is not supported, this will be null. If it is supported, it will be a value greater than 1024. This property is OPTIONAL, and if the YubiKey provides no value, this will be null (the authenticatorLargeBlobs command is not supported).

public int? MaximumSerializedLargeBlobArray { get; }

Property Value

int?

MinimumPinLength

The current minimum PIN length, in Unicode code points. This property is OPTIONAL, and if the YubiKey provides no value, this will be null. The standard specifies a default of 4 (see the field DefaultMinimumPinLength).

public int? MinimumPinLength { get; }

Property Value

int?

Options

The list of supported options. Each entry in the list is a string describing the option and a boolean, indicating whether it is supported (true) or not (false). This property is OPTIONAL, and if the YubiKey provides no value, this will be null.

public IReadOnlyDictionary<string, bool>? Options { get; }

Property Value

IReadOnlyDictionary<string, bool>

PinUvAuthProtocols

List of PIN/UV Auth Protocols the YubiKey supports. They are given in the order from most to least preferred. This property is OPTIONAL, and if the YubiKey provides no value, this will be null.

public IReadOnlyList<PinUvAuthProtocol>? PinUvAuthProtocols { get; }

Property Value

IReadOnlyList<PinUvAuthProtocol>

PreferredPlatformUvAttempts

The number of attempts to authenticate the UV (e.g. fingerprint) that fail before using the PIN. This property is OPTIONAL, and if the YubiKey provides no value, this will be null.

public int? PreferredPlatformUvAttempts { get; }

Property Value

int?

RemainingDiscoverableCredentials

The estimated number of additional discoverable credentials that can be stored. This property is OPTIONAL, and if the YubiKey provides no value, this will be null.

public int? RemainingDiscoverableCredentials { get; }

Property Value

int?

Transports

List of transport strings of CTAP supported by the authenticator. This property is OPTIONAL, and if the YubiKey provides no value, this will be null.

public IReadOnlyList<string>? Transports { get; }

Property Value

IReadOnlyList<string>

UvModality

A bit field indicating the user verification methods supported by the YubiKey. The meanings of the bits are specified in the FIDO standard, namely the Registry of Predefined Values, section 3.1. This property is OPTIONAL, and if the YubiKey provides no value, this will be null.

public int? UvModality { get; }

Property Value

int?

VendorPrototypeConfigCommands

A list of vendor command IDs. If this is not null, then the YubiKey chosen supports the vendor prototype subcommand of Authenticator Config. If so, the list, which can be empty, will contain the valid vendor IDs that can be used in that subcommand. If this is null, the YubiKey chosen does not support the feature.

public IReadOnlyList<long>? VendorPrototypeConfigCommands { get; }

Property Value

IReadOnlyList<long>

Remarks

Note that the standard defines a vendor ID as a 64-bit unsigned integer. These numbers are to be random values.

Versions

List of version strings of CTAP supported by the authenticator. This is a REQUIRED value.

public IReadOnlyList<string> Versions { get; }

Property Value

IReadOnlyList<string>

Remarks

A list of strings is not the easiest to parse, but that is the way the standard specifies reporting the supported versions. If you want to know if a particular version is supported, call the Contains method of the IReadOnlyList interface, using the strings defined in this class. For example, suppose you build a Fido2Session object and you want to know whether the connected YubiKey supports version 2.1, your code would look something like this.

if (fido2Session.AuthenticatorInfo.Versions.Contains(AuthenticatorInfo.Version21))
{
    . . .
}

Methods

GetOptionValue(string)

Get the value of the given option in this AuthenticatorInfo.

public OptionValue GetOptionValue(string option)

Parameters

option string

Returns

OptionValue

An OptionValue enum that specifies the option as either True, False, NotSupported, or Unknown.

Remarks

An option can be "true", "false", or "not supported". This method will determine which value is appropriate for the given option.

The FIDO2 standard specifies that each option has a value, even if an authenticator does not list it. If an option is not listed, its value is a default, and the standard specifies default values for each option. This method will determine if an option is listed, and if so, return the listed value. If not, it will return the default value. A default value can be "true", "false", or "not supported".

If the option is unknown (not one of the standard-defined options), and it is not listed, this method will return "unknown".

IsExtensionSupported(string)

Determine if the given extension is listed in this AuthenticatorInfo.

public bool IsExtensionSupported(string extension)

Parameters

extension string

Returns

bool

Remarks

Because the Extensions property can be null (this happens if a YubiKey does not specify any extensions), to check for any particular extension requires first checking for null. If it is not null, then it is necessary to check to see if that extension is listed.

This method offers a convenient way to determine if an extension is listed. This method will determine if Extensions is null. If it is null, it will return false. If not, it will check to see if the given value is listed. If so, return true, otherwise return false.
