Hello,

I am working on importing Safeword tokens into PrivacyIdea. I was able to import one set of tokens successfully, as I had both an XML file and a .DAT file that was compatible with the LinOTP conversion script (linotp-convert-token). But I also have many older safeword tokens with .dat files that are not in a format that the LinOTP script can convert.


Here is an example of the data in the files:

Line1:
00000000

Line2:
(000000000000)

Line3:
00000000,$$S2K-C275620$$,$$S2K-C275620$$,$$$$,00000000,00000000,00000000,$$S/N:C275620  Host #:0  08:07 11/1/05$$,,OFF,OFF,OFF,OFF,ON,,OFF,1000000,0,00:00 1/1/80,,,,,MoTuWeThFrSaSu,1,S,$$$$,DES-Silver;DES-Silver;ON;6;ON;OFF;0;EasySync;Synchronous;Friendly;Hex;Hex;0;0;0000000000000000;0;0 0 0;2B053BD8241035;08:07 11/1/05;;;30;0000;0,;,;,010203,000000,000000,Services Allowed;default;;;;;;;;;;;;/bin/csh;;;;;;;;;;;,Services Allowed;default;;;;;;;;;;;;1;;;;;;;;;;;,0,0

Lines4-End of File: (Look just like line 3 with different serial numbers and other data.)

Can these files be used?

Which fields would I need to extact from this example?

We will mostly use FreeOTP, but need some hardware authenticators for the users without smartphones.


Thanks for any help,

Aaron

Hello Aaron,

this looks like a Safeword Silver token.
To my knowledge the silver tokens are not HOTP/TOTP compatible.
The secret key (if it is not encrypted) looks like a 14 byte hex string,
which is 2 x 56bit, which - exactly like the "DES-Silver" indicated a
DES based proprietary algorithm.

Only the Safeword Alphine tokens followed the HOTP RFC4226 spec.

How many tokens are we talking here?

Kind regards
Cornelius

Yes, some of these are Safeword Silver.  I seem to not have the .dat files for most of the newer tokens.  I think they switched to an integrated activation procedure at some point so that I never see the token import files. Is there a way to export tokens from Safeword 2008?

The number of tokens is around 100 probably.  I will like use only a small fraction of that as many of our users have smartphones now.

Thanks,

Aaron
