PKI

Instructions and setup for air-gapped PKI.

[!NOTE] These instructions were written and tested on macOS.

Pre-requisites

• Task
• Docker
• 16 GB SD Card/USB Drive (minimum)
• Raspberry Pi 3B+ (or later)

Setup

Determine the correct disk

Connect the SD Card or USB drive to your computer and determine the appropriate /dev/$ID.

diskutil list physical

You should see a disk that matches the size of the device you inserted (in the following example /dev/disk6):

/dev/disk0 (internal, physical):
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *500.3 GB   disk0
   ...

/dev/disk6 (internal, physical):
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:     FDisk_partition_scheme                        *31.7 GB    disk6
   ...

Write the image to the disk

[!CAUTION] CAREFULLY review the output of diskutil list. The following command could cause irreparable harm if it is run against the wrong disk.

Build the image and write it to the disk.

# <identifier> should be replaced with your disk's identifier.
# Using the example above: <identifier>=disk6
task write:<identifier>
