About
YubiHSM 2 SDK is a macOS software package providing libraries and utilities for interacting with a YubiHSM 2. The package description identifies both native interaction and PKCS#11 as supported ways to work with the device.
The official YubiHSM 2 documentation lists SDK components including yubihsm-connector, yubihsm-setup, yubihsm-shell, yubihsm-auth, yubihsm-pkcs11, yubihsm-wrap, and libyubihsm. These names identify documented components; the available evidence does not detail their individual functions.
Install the package with Homebrew Cask:
brew install --cask yubihsm2-sdk
The cask installs a macOS .pkg installer. Its package declaration specifies a macOS dependency, and the supplied package artifact is the Apple silicon (arm64) build. Consult Yubico’s current YubiHSM 2 user guide and SDK release information for instructions on using the SDK and device.
