[clug] June CLUG Programmers' Special Interest Group meeting

[Paul Wayper]

	CLUG Programmers' Special Interest Group Meeting - 11th June 2009
	=================================================================

Date:		11th June 2009 (Second Thursday of the month)

Time:		19:00 - 21:00 (or when it finishes)

Speaker:	Bob Edwards

Abstract:	
		Bob will be talking about programming systems to
		interface with the Yubikey. 
		
		During this presentation, Bob will be demonstrating: 
		
		 - how a yubikey works 
		
		 - how to reprogram a yubikey with your own AES 128-bit
		key and IDs  
		
		 - an open source server he has written in C to
		authenticate yubikeys  
		
		 - how to add yubikey authentication to a web site and
		to SSH (via PAM)  
		
		
		
		The yubikey server C code will be examined demonstrating
		principles of: 
		
		 - connecting to and querying a PostgreSQL database  
		
		 - authenticating via Pluggable Authentication Modules
		(PAM) 
		
		 - emulating an LDAP servers bind method  
		
		 - performing Secure Socket Layer (SSL) communications  
		
		 - other C stuff (logging errors etc., parsing a config
		file, going into daemon mode, avoiding global variables
		and gotos - just because, etc.)  
		
		All constructive criticism eagerly welcomed... (except
		for those saying "I could do that in 3 lines of
		Python...")  
		
		Any experts on autoconf/automake configuration
		especially welcome...  

Venue:		Looking Glass Studios
		
		Meet at Cafe Essen at 18:00 (see map) for socialising before
		going on to the Looking Glass Studios training room at 
		19:00 for the talk, and finding somewhere to go for dinner by 
		consensus afterwards.
