# Finnish Electronic Identity
Finnish identity cards have been electronic for ages and as I tend to forget
how to use it on Linux again, here are my notes.
* Official application: https://dvv.fi/en/card-reader-software
* Fedora/rpm is hidden under "All versions", "Linux versions"
* DVV certificate newsletter: https://uutiskirjeet.dvv.fi/uutiset/varmennepalvelut.html
## Requirements for everything
PCSDd must be running, it's found in package `pcscd` on Debian and likely
`pcsc-lite` on Fedora.
```bash
sudo systemctl enable pcscd --now
```

[As in my shell-things repo, /etc/pkcs11/modules/libcryptoki.module should be created; ](https://gitea.blesmrt.net/mikaela/shell-things/src/branch/master/etc/pkcs11/modules )
```
module: /usr/lib64/libcryptoki.so
managed: no
```

## Chromium
Should work as long as the `DigiSignApplication` from above was running before
the browser was started.
## Firefox and Thunderbird

***This doesn't apply if the above libcryptoki.so is created
and preferably `libcryptoki.so` would be loaded anyway***

In Settings, Advanced, Security devices load the module from (DVV app) `/usr/lib64/libcryptoki.so` or (OpenSC):
* Debian: `/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/onepin-opensc-pkcs11.so`
* Package: `opensc-pkcs11`
* Fedora: `/usr/lib64/onepin-opensc-pkcs11.so`
* Package: `opensc`
`onepin` is a workaround to not ask for PIN2 which is only used for legal agreements,
email signing also uses PIN1.
## Root certificates
While I don't think the user necessarily needs them, my notes mention `DVV Gov. Root CA` .
* https://dvv.fi/en/ca-certificates
## Testing
* https://dvv.fineid.fi/en/authentication
## FINEID as SSH key
0. I would start by `ssh-add -D` to remove other keys from the ssh-agent.
1. Add the key to the agent
* Debian: `ssh-add -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opensc-pkcs11.so`
* Fedora: `ssh-add -s /usr/lib64/opensc-pkcs11.so`

2. Export the public key by `ssh-add -L|head -n1` (the comment should be "todentamis- ja salausavain" ("authentication and encryption key"))
3. Naturally put it into `~/.ssh/authorized_keys` , but SSH should detect
it automatically. The file could also be mentioned in `ssh_config`
The public key should also be stored somewhere that can be passed to gitconfig
or SSH signing commands if SSH signing is to be used.
