hi All!
Is there any software library to emulate USB Token used for U2F authentication with Google Chrome?

We develop non-USB device to act as USB Token, and we need to find a way to make it accessible from Google Chrome with U2F

Many thanks in advance!

I'm not aware of anything that's ready to use. The following may help
you to implement your own

- https://github.com/carybran/u2f-ble-helper
- https://github.com/mplatt/virtual-u2f

I knew about virtual-u2f but I am not sure to understand what u2f-ble-helper is about...

Can you explain what it is supposed to be ? :) Thanx !

Ultimately, I don't know - I just stumbled across it. My best guess is
that it's a proof of concept for a Chrome extension that implements
(some parts of) U2F over Bluetooth. It pre dates _Bluetooth & NFC
Transport for FIDO U2F_ so it's unlikely to use the same packet
format/wire protocol as the official standard.
