#Signet components have arrived and I'll be working on those soon enough.

Right now I'm getting ready to head over to the Makerspace and print what I think will be the final version of the bolt case.

Next will be debugging a modification of that case which doesn't need any nuts (at the risk of stripping out the plastic if overtightened too much or too often).

I hope to get both those models printed out tonight

Realized that #hal wasn't supporting #signet yet, so added support for signet:

#FirstEdition US #Paperback #Signet #Capote In Cold Blood.

OK, things have been taxing and it took me longer than I expected to make this post, but here it is.

I'm shocked it came out as well as it did. The button is smooth and functional. The top & bottom slide together. If the stem had printed, it'd be a functional case, but there are other room for improvements too.

Making the bottom the exact size for the PCB was a mistake because the USB-A connector is through hole and has tails.

The screw hole needs to be bigger too.

#Signet

The first print for the #signet case was a huge success! The two halves slid together smoothly, the button fit and worked properly, the signet fit inside, and I could use the keyring to put it on my keychain.

The only major problem was that the stem to receive the screw did not print, presumably because it was less than 1mm thick.

I've fixed that and made some more small adjustments in CAD, but if I can get the halves to stay together, this is a perfectly functional case.

More deetz tomorrow.

I spent most of today working on designing a case for the #Signet.

I'm not completely confident that all my internal features are going to line up properly, but I think it's pretty good for a first draft.

The picture shows the device upside down. On the other side, there's a hole where a button will go and another hole where a screw will go which will hold the two sides of the case together.

I'm stoked to announce that there are now updated #Signet releases for #Windows and #macOS.

The #Linux versions are still there and they now have a proper .deb package for both i386 and AMD64.

The Linux one is well tested. Now I am trying to bring the others up to a similar level of testing.

I'm bringing #hardware #security to anyone who wants it and can spare $45 for the hardware.

Made more great progress on #Signet the last few days:
- Cut a new release (0.9.18)
- Made a PGP key for release signing
- Have a .deb package
- Fixed several low impact bugs
- Generated a .deb file (unsigned, untested)
- Documentation is online
- contributing guide

Next up is to test and then sign that .deb package and automate its build process. Format the docs so they "look nice" (according to people not in love with the early 90's look of the web).

The progress feels real good

OK, time to get that laser focus. I've been taking too many side quests trying to get the APK to build, preparing for the macOS build, writing an "install" target for make, trying so many different tools to make a .deb package... (yes, all this is for #signet).

I've separated each of the changes out to separate branches now and I am getting back to cranking out the .deb package.

I want to get it working well on Debian-based distros first, then I can move on to the others.

If you were wondering what powers the #Signet, it's a tiny #ARM chip.

When I say tiny, I mean it makes a US dime look big! For those readers who may have never seen a US dime, they are 17.91 mm in diameter.

Only 11 of the 32 pins are connected:
- 3 to voltage
- 2 to ground
- 2 to the USB data lines
- 2 to the LEDs
- 1 to the button
- 1 to the switch to go into bootloader mode

And there are 2 pins that go to test pads.

That's it! The simplicity is something I like about this device.

More progress on the software side of #signet.

We now have source tarballs, so people can just check it out and build the software (and firmware for that matter) without having to mess around with git.

I have also made slightly more progress with making a .deb package. I do have a deb file, but it doesn't have any of the right things in it (like the executable!) and so lintian is *pissed*! But iterative progress none-the-less.

Sweet looks like I'll soon have an automated build for the source tarball of #signet!

The original authors split up the code base into multiple repos, so building the client requires checking out a bunch of other stuff.

But if you want to build the Signet software, you should be able to unpack a tarball, and compile it without messing around with git commands.

And you shouldn't have to built it at all if you don't want to. I'm a huge fan of #FOSS and I have strong opinions about it being easy

Update on making the software I maintain compatible with old computers:

Success!

I now have 32- and 64-bit executables for #Linux. I've tested the 32-bit one on that #DellD610 and the 64-bit one on my Linux surface.

Next up for #signet are Debian packages, which should be a trip because none of the Debian examples use qmake, and I don't currently have any equivalent of `make install`, so... this should be interesting!

#RetroComputing #security #infosec

After much rework and frustration, I have a handful of working #Signet devices.

On the bright side, I learned about which solder problems map to which functionality not working as expected. So at least I should be able to fix them faster in the future.

What I'd really like is to figure out what I need to do differently so the majority of the boards don't need any rework in the first place. The first one I did with the solder mask went so well, I expected most of them to go that well.

Today the #Signet CPUs arrived and my little open source hot plate happened to arrive on the same day. It's an omen.

Next step: solder together the hot plate so I can solder together some Signets

Yay bootstrapping!

If you can use FIDO2 alone to log into systems, do so. It's better in pretty much every way.

For the other 99% of use cases, use #Signet 😁 (and maybe FIDO2 for a second factor, for sites that have limited FIDO2 support).

Sadly most sites only have partial FIDO2 support (as a second factor). Full FIDO2 support is sometimes called passwordless login (though that term is overloaded), login with a device, or WebAuthn/WebAuthz.

@nextcloud has full FIDO2 support, but Google & friends lag behind.

How is it different from other hardware security thingies you may know?

#Yubikeys don't store passwords and are not open source. They do #2FA, which #Signet does not.

#Nitrokeys store 0 to 16 passwords (depending on the model). Signet can store hundreds of passwords. Nitrokeys do things like email encryption and #FIDO2 (depending on the model), which Signet does not.

The #Trezor Model T does not store passwords. It does FIDO2 and holds your digital currencies.

I'm excited to announce that I have successfully put together a #Signet #hardware #password manager, without any jumpers or hackery.

This means I will be making more of these so people who want to up their #security game will be able to just buy them.

I'll be honest: this one cost me over $300 in parts and many hours of labor. My goal is to get them down to about $45 each. That should allow me to break even (assuming I can produce them faster and my time is worth minimum wage). #infosec #foss
