Nitrokey Webupdate

Firmware updates through web browser for the Nitrokey FIDO2, available at https://update.nitrokey.com/.

This is a fork of https://github.com/solokeys/solo-webupdate.

Supported configurations

Browser/OS Windows macOS Linux
Firefox (75) Yes Yes Yes (same for FF77)
Chrome (81) Yes, can freeze No No (same for CH84)
Edge (18) Yes, can freeze - -
Safari (13.0.4, macOS 10.15.2) - Yes * -
Chromium (80) - - No

Notes:

  • Since Windows 10 2004 the first FIDO2 monit just after the first write request has to be cancelled (proper guide with image added); additionally Chrome and Edge could freeze themselves if the delay between the monit and action is bigger than 1 minute (therefore they are not allowed by default);
  • Safari blinks whole screen on every Webauthn request, not recommended to use due to this UI issue (otherwise works);
  • Windows OS needs additional touch to run the bootloader due to doubled requests; additionally execution time is longer due to that;
  • Chrome is not working due to a bug in the bootloader, which should be fixed in the coming bootloader firmware updates.
  • Windows shows a monit asking user to try another device while switching to the bootloader. User has to be instrumented to not take any action on such message.
  • Updates on Firefox now cannot be interrupted by losing focus (e.g. due to the Alt+Tab) due to unlimited send loop; such handling is not required for Chrome based browsers (Chrome forces app focus, Edge continues regardless).
