# Hardware-based SSH/GPG/age agent
[![Build](https://github.com/romanz/trezor-agent/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/romanz/trezor-agent/actions)

This project allows you to use various hardware security devices to operate GPG, SSH and age. Instead of keeping your key on your computer and decrypting it with a passphrase when you want to use it, the key is generated and stored on the device and never reaches your computer. Read more about the design [here](doc/DESIGN.md).
You can do things like sign your emails, git commits, and software packages, manage your passwords (with [pass](https://www.passwordstore.org/) and [passage](https://github.com/FiloSottile/passage), among others), authenticate web tunnels and file transfers, and more.

## Components
This repository contains source code for one library as well as
agents to interact with several different hardware devices:
* [`libagent`](https://pypi.org/project/libagent/): shared library
* [`trezor-agent`](https://pypi.org/project/trezor-agent/): Using Trezor as hardware-based SSH/PGP/age agent
* [`ledger_agent`](https://pypi.org/project/ledger_agent/): Using Ledger as hardware-based SSH/PGP agent
* [`jade_agent`](https://github.com/Blockstream/Jade/): Using Blockstream Jade as hardware-based SSH/PGP agent
* [`keepkey_agent`](https://pypi.org/project/keepkey_agent/): Using KeepKey as hardware-based SSH/PGP agent
* [`onlykey-agent`](https://pypi.org/project/onlykey-agent/): Using OnlyKey as hardware-based SSH/PGP agent
The [/releases](/releases) page on Github contains the `libagent`
releases.
