Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : libpam-rsa * Version : 0.8-9 * Upstream Author : Vesa-Matti Kari <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://www.helsinki.fi/~vmkari/pamrsa/ * License : LGPL * Description : (follows)
The libpam-rsa PAM module is for local PAM authentication with RSA keypairs. pam_rsa will look for user-associated public RSA keys in the local system and will encrypt a message using the user's public RSA key. Then it will look for a private key in a portable media like a USB memory stick and will try to decode the message. This implements a poor man's smartcard-like functionality. End of description. My work on this package has already begun (I have a working, non-Policy compliant package). I've been using this module for a while in my own laptop (no problems, well integrated code), and as soon as I solve Linda/Lintian warnings I'll contact an sponsor. As always, any help and comments will be greatly appreciated. Thank you, WNPP-people. Jose Note: I'm aware of the hyphen in the version number. -- José M.
