27.Sh DESCRIPTION
28.Nm
29makes or verifies a FIDO 2 credential.
30.Pp
31A credential
32.Ar type
33may be
34.Em es256
35(denoting ECDSA over NIST P-256 with SHA-256),
36.Em rs256
37(denoting 2048-bit RSA with PKCS#1.5 padding and SHA-256), or
38.Em eddsa
39(denoting EDDSA over Curve25519 with SHA-512).
40If
41.Ar type
42is not specified,
43.Em es256
44is assumed.
45.Pp
46When making a credential, the authenticator may require the user
47to authenticate with a PIN.
48If the
49.Fl q
50option is not specified,
51.Nm
52will prompt the user for the PIN.
53If a
54.Em tty
55is available,
56.Nm
57will use it to obtain the PIN.
58Otherwise,
59.Em stdin
60is used.
61.Pp
62The input of
63.Nm
64is defined by the parameters of the credential to be made/verified.
65See the
66.Sx INPUT FORMAT
67section for details.
68.Pp
69The output of
70.Nm
71is defined by the result of the selected operation.
72See the
73.Sx OUTPUT FORMAT
74section for details.
75.Pp
76If a credential is successfully created or verified,
77.Nm
78exits 0.
79Otherwise,
80.Nm
81exits 1.
82.Pp
83The options are as follows:
84.Bl -tag -width Ds
85.It Fl M
86Tells
87.Nm
88to make a new credential on
89.Ar device .
90.It Fl V
91Tells
92.Nm
93to verify a credential.
94.It Fl b
95Request the credential's
96.Dq largeBlobKey ,
97a 32-byte symmetric key associated with the generated credential.
98.It Fl c Ar cred_protect
99If making a credential, set the credential's protection level to
100.Ar cred_protect ,
101where
102.Ar cred_protect
103is the credential's protection level in decimal notation.
104Please refer to
105.In fido/param.h
106for the set of possible values.
107If verifying a credential, check whether the credential's protection
108level was signed by the authenticator as
109.Ar cred_protect .
110.It Fl d
111Causes
112.Nm
113to emit debugging output on
114.Em stderr .
115.It Fl h
116If making a credential, enable the FIDO2 hmac-secret extension.
117If verifying a credential, check whether the extension data bit was
118signed by the authenticator.
119.It Fl i Ar input_file
120Tells
121.Nm
122to read the parameters of the credential from
123.Ar input_file
124instead of
125.Em stdin .
126.It Fl o Ar output_file
127Tells
128.Nm
129to write output on
130.Ar output_file
131instead of
132.Em stdout .
133.It Fl q
134Tells
135.Nm
136to be quiet.
137If a PIN is required and
138.Fl q
139is specified,
140.Nm
141will fail.
142.It Fl r
143Create a resident credential.
144Resident credentials are called
145.Dq discoverable credentials
146in FIDO 2.1.
147.It Fl u
148Create a U2F credential.
149By default,
150.Nm
151will use FIDO2 if supported by the authenticator, and fallback to
152U2F otherwise.
153.It Fl v
154If making a credential, request user verification.
155If verifying a credential, check whether the user verification bit
156was signed by the authenticator.
157.El
158.Sh INPUT FORMAT
159The input of
160.Nm
161consists of base64 blobs and UTF-8 strings separated
162by newline characters ('\\n').
163.Pp

165.Nm
166expects its input to consist of:

170client data hash (base64 blob);
171.It
172relying party id (UTF-8 string);

261Please note that
262.Nm
263handles Basic Attestation and Self Attestation transparently.
264In the case of Basic Attestation, the validity of the authenticator's
