lua-resty-openssl
is a FFI-based OpenSSL binding library, currently
supports OpenSSL 3.x
and 1.1.1
series.
Production.
This library is greatly inspired by luaossl, while uses the
naming conversion closer to original OpenSSL API.
For example, a function called X509_set_pubkey
in OpenSSL C API will expect to exist
as resty.openssl.x509:set_pubkey
.
CamelCases are replaced to underscore_cases, for exmaple X509_set_serialNumber
becomes
resty.openssl.x509:set_serial_number
. Another difference than luaossl
is that errors are never thrown
using error()
but instead return as last parameter.
Each Lua table returned by new()
contains a cdata object ctx
. User are not supposed to manully setting
ffi.gc
or calling corresponding destructor of the ctx
struct (like *_free
functions).
This meta module provides a version sanity check against linked OpenSSL library.
syntax: name, err = openssl.load_library()
Try to load OpenSSL shared libraries. This function tries couple of known patterns
the library could be named and return the name of crypto
library if it's being
successfully loaded and error if any.
When running inside resty
CLI or OpenResty with SSL enabled, calling this function
is not necessary.
syntax: openssl.load_modules()
Load all available sub modules into current module:
bn = require("resty.openssl.bn"),
cipher = require("resty.openssl.cipher"),
digest = require("resty.openssl.digest"),
hmac = require("resty.openssl.hmac"),
kdf = require("resty.openssl.kdf"),
pkey = require("resty.openssl.pkey"),
objects = require("resty.openssl.objects"),
rand = require("resty.openssl.rand"),
version = require("resty.openssl.version"),
x509 = require("resty.openssl.x509"),
altname = require("resty.openssl.x509.altname"),
chain = require("resty.openssl.x509.chain"),
csr = require("resty.openssl.x509.csr"),
crl = require("resty.openssl.x509.crl"),
extension = require("resty.openssl.x509.extension"),
extensions = require("resty.openssl.x509.extensions"),
name = require("resty.openssl.x509.name"),
store = require("resty.openssl.x509.store"),
ssl = require("resty.openssl.ssl"),
ssl_ctx = require("resty.openssl.ssl_ctx"),
Starting OpenSSL 3.0, provider
and mac
ctx
is also available.
syntax: openssl.luaossl_compat()
Provides luaossl
flavored API which uses camelCase naming; user can expect drop in replacement.
For example, pkey:get_parameters
is mapped to pkey:getParameters
.
Note that not all luaossl
API has been implemented, please check readme for source of truth.
syntax: enabled = openssl.get_fips_mode()
Returns a boolean indicating if FIPS mode is enabled.
syntax: ok, err = openssl.set_fips_mode(enabled)
Toggle FIPS mode on or off.
lua-resty-openssl supports following modes:
OpenSSL 1.0.2 series with fips 2.0 module
Compile the module per security policy,
OpenSSL 3.0.0 fips provider
Refer to https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/OpenSSL_3.0 Section 7 Compile the provider per guide, install the fipsmodule.cnf that matches hash of FIPS provider fips.so.
On OpenSSL 3.0 or later, this function also turns on and off default properties for EVP functions. When turned on, all applications using EVP_* API will be redirected to FIPS-compliant implementations and have no access to non-FIPS-compliant algorithms.
Calling this function is equivalent of loading fips
provider and
call openssl.set_default_properties("fips=yes").
If fips provider is loaded but default properties are not set, use following to explictly fetch FIPS implementation.
local provider = require "resty.openssl.provider"
assert(provider.load("fips"))
local cipher = require "resty.openssl.cipher"
local c = assert(cipher.new("aes256"))
print(c:get_provider_name()) -- prints "default"
local c = assert(cipher.new("aes256", "fips=yes"))
print(c:get_provider_name()) -- prints "fips"
syntax: text, err = openssl.get_fips_version_text()
Returns the version text of the FIPS module, only available on OpenSSL 3.x.
syntax: ok, err = openssl.set_default_properties(props)
Sets the default properties for all future EVP algorithm fetches, implicit as well as explicit. See "ALGORITHM FETCHING" in crypto(7) for information about implicit and explicit fetching.
syntax: ret = openssl.list_cipher_algorithms(hide_provider?)
Return available cipher algorithms in an array. Set hide_provider
to true
to
hide provider name from the result.
syntax: ret = openssl.list_digest_algorithms(hide_provider?)
Return available digest algorithms in an array. Set hide_provider
to true
to
hide provider name from the result.
syntax: ret = openssl.list_mac_algorithms(hide_provider?)
Return available MAC algorithms in an array. Set hide_provider
to true
to
hide provider name from the result.
syntax: ret = openssl.list_kdf_algorithms(hide_provider?)
Return available KDF algorithms in an array. Set hide_provider
to true
to
hide provider name from the result.
syntax: cipher_string, err = openssl.list_ssl_ciphers(cipher_list?, ciphersuites?, protocol?)
Return default SSL ciphers as a string. cipher_list
(prior TLSv1.3) and
ciphersuites
(TLSv1.3) can be used to expand the cipher settings matches
protocol
.
openssl.list_ssl_ciphers()
openssl.list_ssl_ciphers("ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA")
openssl.list_ssl_ciphers("ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA", nil, "TLSv1.2")
openssl.list_ssl_ciphers("ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA", "TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256", "TLSv1.3")
A module to provide OSSL_LIB_CTX context switches.
OSSL_LIB_CTX is an internal OpenSSL library context type. Applications may allocate their own, but may also use NULL to use a default context with functions that take an OSSL_LIB_CTX argument.
See OSSL_LIB_CTX.3 for deeper reading.
The context is currently effective following modules:
- cipher
- digest
- kdf
- mac
- pkcs12.encode
- pkey
- provider
- rand
- x509, x509.csr, x509.crl and some x509.store functions
This module is only available on OpenSSL 3.0 or later.
syntax: ok, err = ctx.new(request_context_only?, conf_file?)
Create a new context and use as default context for this module. When
request_context_only
is set to true, the context is only used inside current
request's context. conf_file
can optionally specify an OpenSSL conf file
to create the context.
The created context is automatically freed with its given lifecycle.
-- initialize a AES cipher instance from given provider implementation only
-- for current request, without interfering other part of code
-- or future requests from using the same algorithm.
assert(require("resty.openssl.ctx").new(true))
local p = assert(require("resty.openssl.provider").load("myprovider"))
local c = require("resty.openssl.cipher").new("aes256")
print(c:encrypt(string.rep("0", 32), string.rep("0", 16), "๐ฆข"))
-- don't need to release provider and ctx, they are GC'ed automatically
syntax: ctx.free(request_context_only?)
Free the context that was previously created by ctx.new.
A module to provide error messages.
syntax: msg = err.format_error(ctx_msg?, return_code?, all_errors?)
syntax: msg = err.format_all_errors(ctx_msg?, return_code?)
Return the latest error message from the last error code. Errors are formatted as:
[ctx_msg]: code: [return_code]: error:[error code]:[library name]:[func name]:[reason string]:[file name]:[line number]:
On OpenSSL prior to 3.x, errors are formatted as:
[ctx_msg]: code: [return_code]: [file name]:[line number]:error:[error code]:[library name]:[func name]:[reason string]:
If all_errors
is set to true
, all errors no just the latest one will be returned in a single string. All errors thrown
by this library internally only thrown the latest error.
For example:
local f = io.open("t/fixtures/ec_key_encrypted.pem"):read("*a")
local privkey, err = require("resty.openssl.pkey").new(f, {
format = "PEM",
type = "pr",
passphrase = "wrongpasswrod",
})
ngx.say(err)
-- pkey.new:load_key: error:4800065:PEM routines:PEM_do_header:bad decrypt:crypto/pem/pem_lib.c:467:
syntax: code = err.get_last_error_code()
Return the last error code.
syntax: lib_error_message = err.get_lib_error_string(code?)
Return the library name of the last error code as string. If code
is set, return the library name
corresponding to provided error code instead.
syntax: reason_error_message = err.get_reason_error_string(code?)
Return the reason of the last error code as string. If code
is set, return the reason
corresponding to provided error code instead.
A module to provide version info.
The OpenSSL version number.
The OpenSSL version text.
syntax: text = version.version(types)
Returns various OpenSSL version information. Available values for types
are:
VERSION
CFLAGS
BUILT_ON
PLATFORM
DIR
ENGINES_DIR
VERSION_STRING
FULL_VERSION_STRING
MODULES_DIR
CPU_INFO
local version = require("resty.openssl.version")
ngx.say(string.format("%x", version.version_num))
-- outputs "101000bf"
ngx.say(version.version_text)
-- outputs "OpenSSL 1.1.0k 28 May 2019"
ngx.say(version.version(version.PLATFORM))
-- outputs "darwin64-x86_64-cc"
syntax: text = version.info(types)
Returns various OpenSSL information. Available values for types
are:
INFO_ENGINES_DIR
INFO_DSO_EXTENSION
INFO_CPU_SETTINGS
INFO_LIST_SEPARATOR
INFO_DIR_FILENAME_SEPARATOR
INFO_CONFIG_DIR
INFO_SEED_SOURCE
INFO_MODULES_DIR
This function is only available on OpenSSL 3.0. Please refer to OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER(3) for explanation of each type.
local version = require("resty.openssl.version")
ngx.say(version.info(version.INFO_DSO_EXTENSION))
-- outputs ".so"
A boolean indicates whether the linked OpenSSL is 3.x series.
A boolean indicates whether the linked OpenSSL is 1.1.1 series.
Module to interact with providers. This module only work on OpenSSL >= 3.0.0.
syntax: pro, err = provider.load(name, try?)
Load provider with name
. If try
is set to true, OpenSSL will not disable the
fall-back providers if the provider cannot be loaded and initialized. If the provider
loads successfully, however, the fall-back providers are disabled.
By default this functions loads provider into the default context, meaning it will affect other applications in the same process using the default context as well. If such behaviour is not desired, consider using ctx to load provider only to limited scope.
syntax: ok = pkey.provider(table)
Returns true
if table is an instance of provider
. Returns false
otherwise.
syntax: ok, err = provider.is_available(name)
Checks if a named provider is available for use.
syntax: ok, err = provider.set_default_search_path(name)
Specifies the default search path that is to be used for looking for providers.
syntax: ok, err = pro:unload(name)
Unload a provider that is previously loaded by provider.load
.
syntax: ok, err = pro:self_test(name)
Runs a provider's self tests on demand. If the self tests fail then the provider will fail to provide any further services and algorithms.
syntax: ok, err = pro:get_params(key1, key2?...)
Returns one or more provider parameter values.
local pro = require "resty.openssl.provider"
local p = pro.load("default")
local name = assert(p:get_params("name"))
print(name)
-- outputs "OpenSSL Default Provider"
local result = assert(p:get_params("name", "version", "buildinfo", "status"))
print(require("cjson").encode(result))
-- outputs '{"buildinfo":"3.0.0-alpha7","name":"OpenSSL Default Provider","status":1,"version":"3.0.0"}'
Module to interact with private keys and public keys (EVP_PKEY).
Each key type may only support part of operations:
Key Type | Load existing key | Key generation | Encrypt/Decrypt | Sign/Verify | Key Exchange |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
RSA | Y | Y | Y | Y | |
DH | Y | Y | Y | ||
EC | Y | Y | Y (ECDSA) | Y (ECDH) | |
Ed25519 | Y | Y | Y (PureEdDSA) | ||
X25519 | Y | Y | Y (ECDH) | ||
Ed448 | Y | Y | Y (PureEdDSA) | ||
X448 | Y | Y | Y (ECDH) |
Direct support of encryption and decryption for EC and ECX does not exist, but processes like ECIES is possible with pkey:derive, kdf and cipher
syntax: pk, err = pkey.new(string, opts?)
Supports loading a private or public key in PEM, DER or JWK format passed as first argument string
.
The second parameter opts
accepts an optional table to constraint the behaviour of key loading.
opts.format
: set explictly to"PEM"
,"DER"
,"JWK"
to load specific format or set to"*"
for auto detectopts.type
: set explictly to"pr"
for privatekey,"pu"
for public key; set to"*"
for auto detect
When loading a PEM encoded RSA key, it can either be a PKCS#8 encoded
SubjectPublicKeyInfo
/PrivateKeyInfo
or a PKCS#1 encoded RSAPublicKey
/RSAPrivateKey
.
When loading a encrypted PEM encoded key, the passphrase
to decrypt it can either be set
in opts.passphrase
or opts.passphrase_cb
:
pkey.new(pem_or_der_text, {
format = "*", -- choice of "PEM", "DER", "JWK" or "*" for auto detect
type = "*", -- choice of "pr" for privatekey, "pu" for public key and "*" for auto detect
passphrase = "secret password", -- the PEM encryption passphrase
passphrase_cb = function()
return "secret password"
end, -- the PEM encryption passphrase callback function
}
When loading JWK, there are couple of caveats:
- Make sure the encoded JSON text is passed in, it must have been base64 decoded.
- Constraint
type
on JWK key is not supported, the parameters in provided JSON will decide if a private or public key is loaded. - Only key type of
RSA
,P-256
,P-384
andP-512
EC
,Ed25519
,X25519
,Ed448
andX448
OKP
keys are supported. - Public key part for
OKP
keys (thex
parameter) is always not honored and derived from private key part (thed
parameter) if it's specified. - Signatures and verification must use
ecdsa_use_raw
option to work with JWS standards for EC keys. See pkey:sign and pkey.verify for detail. - When running outside of OpenResty, needs to install a JSON library (
cjson
ordkjson
) andbasexx
.
syntax: pk, err = pkey.new(config?)
Generate a new public key or private key.
To generate RSA key, config
table can have bits
and exp
field to control key generation.
When config
is emitted, this function generates a 2048 bit RSA key with exponent
of 65537,
which is equivalent to:
local key, err = pkey.new({
type = 'RSA',
bits = 2048,
exp = 65537
})
To generate EC or DH key, please refer to pkey.paramgen for possible values of
config
table. For example:
local key, err = pkey.new({
type = 'EC',
curve = 'prime256v1',
})
It's also possible to pass a PEM-encoded EC or DH parameters to config.param
for key generation:
local dhparam = pkey.paramgen({
type = 'DH',
group = 'dh_1024_160'
})
-- OR
-- local dhparam = io.read("dhparams.pem"):read("*a")
local key, err = pkey.new({
type = 'DH',
param = dhparam,
})
It's also possible to pass raw pkeyopt control strings in config
table as used in the genpkey
CLI program.
See openssl-genpkey(1) for a list of options.
For example:
pkey.new({
type = 'RSA',
bits = 2048,
exp = 65537,
})
-- is same as
pkey.new({
type = 'RSA',
exp = 65537,
"rsa_keygen_bits:4096",
})
syntax: pk, err = pkey.new(config?)
Compose a public or private key using existing parameters. To see list of parameters for each key, refer to pkey:set_parameters.
Only type
and params
should exist in config
table, all other keys will be ignored.
local private_bn = require "resty.openssl.bn".new("7F48282CCA4C1A65D589C06DBE9C42AE50FBFFDF3A18CBB48498E1DE47F11BE1A3486CD8FA950D68F111970F922279D8", 16)
local p_384, err = assert(require("resty.openssl.pkey").new({
type = "EC",
params = {
private = private_bn,
group = "secp384r1",
}
}))
syntax: ok = pkey.istype(table)
Returns true
if table is an instance of pkey
. Returns false
otherwise.
syntax: pem_txt, err = pk.paramgen(config)
Generate parameters for EC or DH key and output as PEM-encoded text.

type = 'EC',
curve = 'prime192v1',
})
local pem, err = pkey.paramgen({
type = 'DH',
group = 'ffdhe4096',
})
It's also possible to pass raw pkeyopt control strings in config
table as used in the genpkey
CLI program.
See openssl-genpkey(1) for a list of options.

syntax: signature, err = pk:sign(digest)
syntax: signature, err = pk:sign(message, md_alg?, padding?, opts?)
Perform a digest signing using the private key defined in pkey
instance. The first parameter must be a resty.openssl.digest
instance or a string. Returns the signed text and error if any.
When passing a digest instance as first parameter, it should not have been called final(), user should only use update(). This mode only supports RSA and EC keys.
When passing a string as first parameter, md_alg
parameter will specify the name
to use when signing. When md_alg
is undefined, for RSA and EC keys, this function does SHA256
by default. For Ed25519 or Ed448 keys, this function does a PureEdDSA signing,
no message digest should be specified and will not be used.
For RSA key, it's also possible to specify padding
scheme with following choices:
pkey.PADDINGS = {
RSA_PKCS1_PADDING = 1,
RSA_SSLV23_PADDING = 2,
RSA_NO_PADDING = 3,
RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING = 4,
RSA_X931_PADDING = 5, -- sign only
RSA_PKCS1_PSS_PADDING = 6, -- sign and verify only
}
When padding
is RSA_PKCS1_PSS_PADDING
, it's
possible to specify PSS salt length by setting opts.pss_saltlen
.
For EC key, this function does a ECDSA signing.
Note that OpenSSL does not support EC digital signature (ECDSA) with the
obsolete MD5 hash algorithm and will return error on this combination. See
EVP_DigestSign(3)
for a list of algorithms and associated public key algorithms. Normally, the ECDSA signature
is encoded in ASN.1 DER format. If the opts
table contains a ecdsa_use_raw
field with
a true value, a binary with just the concatenation of binary representation pr
and ps
is returned.
This is useful for example to send the signature as JWS.
opts
is a table that accepts additional parameters with following choices:
{
pss_saltlen, -- For PSS mode only this option specifies the salt length.
mgf1_md, -- For PSS and OAEP padding sets the MGF1 digest. If the MGF1 digest is not explicitly set in PSS mode then the signing digest is used.
oaep_md, -- The digest used for the OAEP hash function. If not explicitly set then SHA1 is used.
}
It's also possible to pass raw pkeyopt control strings as used in the pkeyutl
CLI program. This lets user pass in options that
are not explictly supported as parameters above.
See openssl-pkeyutl(1) for a list of options.
pk:sign(message, nil, pk.PADDINGS.RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING, {
oaep_md = "sha256",
})
-- is same as
pk:sign(message, nil, nil, {
"rsa_padding_mode:oaep",
"rsa_oaep_md:sha256",
})
-- in pkeyutl CLI the above is equivalent to: `openssl pkeyutl -sign -pkeyopt rsa_padding_mode:oaep -pkeyopt rsa_oaep_md:sha256
To sign a message without doing message digest, please check pkey:sign_raw.
syntax: ok, err = pk:verify(signature, digest)
syntax: ok, err = pk:verify(signature, message, md_alg?, padding?, opts?)
Verify a signture (which can be the string returned by pkey:sign). The second
argument must be a resty.openssl.digest instance that uses
the same digest algorithm as used in sign
or a string. ok
returns true
if verficiation is
successful and false
otherwise. Note when verfication failed err
will not be set when used
with OpenSSL 1.1.1 or lower.
When passing digest instances as second parameter, it should not have been called final(), user should only use update(). This mode only supports RSA and EC keys.
When passing a string as second parameter, md_alg
parameter will specify the name
to use when verifying. When md_alg
is undefined, for RSA and EC keys, this function does SHA256
by default. For Ed25519 or Ed448 keys, this function does a PureEdDSA verification,
no message digest should be specified and will not be used.
When key is a RSA key, the function accepts an optional argument padding
which choices
of values are same as those in pkey:sign. When padding
is RSA_PKCS1_PSS_PADDING
, it's
possible to specify PSS salt length by setting opts.pss_saltlen
.
For EC key, this function does a ECDSA verification. Normally, the ECDSA signature
should be encoded in ASN.1 DER format. If the opts
table contains a ecdsa_use_raw
field with
a true value, this library treat signature
as concatenation of binary representation pr
and ps
.
This is useful for example to verify the signature as JWS.
opts
is a table that accepts additional parameters which choices
of values are same as those in pkey:sign.

representation of public key.
If is_pkcs1
is set to true, the output is encoded using a PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey structure;
PKCS#1
encoding is currently supported for RSA key in PEM format. Writing out a PKCS#1
encoded RSA key is currently not supported when using with OpenSSL 3.0.
syntax: pem, err = pk:to_PEM(private_or_public?, is_pkcs1?)

if it is prime with an
error probability of less than 0.25^nchecks
and error if any. If omitted,
nchecks
is set to 0 which means to select number of iterations basedon the
size of the number
This function perform a Miller-Rabin probabilistic primality test with nchecks iterations. If nchecks == BN_prime_checks (0), a number of iterations is used that yields a false positive rate of at most 2^-64 for random input. The error rate depends on the size of the prime and goes down for bigger primes. The rate is 2^-80 starting at 308 bits, 2^-112 at 852 bits, 2^-128 at 1080 bits, 2^-192 at 3747 bits and 2^-256 at 6394 bits.
When the source of the prime is not random or not trusted, the number of checks needs to be much higher to reach the same level of assurance: It should equal half of the targeted security level in bits (rounded up to the next integer if necessary). For instance, to reach the 128 bit security level, nchecks should be set to 64.

Module to interact with symmetric cryptography (EVP_CIPHER).
syntax: d, err = cipher.new(cipher_name, properties?)
Creates a cipher instance. cipher_name
is a case-insensitive string of cipher algorithm name.
To view a list of cipher algorithms implemented, use
openssl.list_cipher_algorithms

Staring from OpenSSL 3.0, this function accepts an optional properties
parameter
to explictly select provider to fetch algorithms.
syntax: ok = cipher.istype(table)
Returns true
if table is an instance of cipher
. Returns false
otherwise.
syntax: ok = cipher.set_buffer_size(sz)
Resize the internal buffer size used by all cipher instance. The default buffer size is 1024 bytes.
If you are expecting to pass input text larger than 1024 bytes at one time to update()
, encrypt()
or decrypt()
, setting the buffer to larger than the expected input size will improve performance
by let more code to be JIT-able.
Avoid call this function at hotpath, as this re-allocate the buffer every time it's called.
syntax: name = cipher:get_provider_name()
Returns the provider name of cipher
.
This function is available since OpenSSL 3.0.
Query settable or gettable params and set or get params. See Generic EVP parameter getter/setter.
syntax: s, err = cipher:encrypt(key, iv?, s, no_padding?, aead_aad?)
Encrypt the text s
with key key
and IV iv
. Returns the encrypted text in raw binary string
and error if any.
Optionally accepts a boolean no_padding
which tells the cipher to enable or disable padding and default
to false
(enable padding). If no_padding
is true
, the length of s
must then be a multiple of the
block size or an error will occur.
When using GCM or CCM mode or chacha20-poly1305
cipher, it's also possible to pass
the Additional Authenticated Data (AAD) as the fifth argument.
This function is a shorthand of cipher:init
, cipher:set_aead_aad
(if appliable) then cipher:final
.
syntax: s, err = cipher:decrypt(key, iv?, s, no_padding?, aead_aad?, aead_tag?)
Decrypt the text s
with key key
and IV iv
. Returns the decrypted text in raw binary string
and error if any.
Optionally accepts a boolean no_padding
which tells the cipher to enable or disable padding and default
to false
(enable padding). If no_padding
is true
, the length of s
must then be a multiple of the
block size or an error will occur; also, padding in the decrypted text will not be removed.
When using GCM or CCM mode or chacha20-poly1305
cipher, it's also possible to pas
the Additional Authenticated Data (AAD) as the fifth argument and authentication tag
as the sixth argument.
This function is a shorthand of cipher:init
, cipher:set_aead_aad
(if appliable),
cipher:set_aead_tag
(if appliable) then cipher:final
.
syntax: ok, err = cipher:init(key, iv?, opts?)
Initialize the cipher with key key
and IV iv
. The optional third argument is a table consists of:
{
is_encrypt = false,
no_padding = false,
}
Calling function is needed before cipher:update and cipher:final if the cipher is not being initialized already. But not cipher:encrypt and cipher:decrypt.
If you wish to reuse cipher
instance multiple times, calling this function is necessary
to clear the internal state of the cipher. The shorthand functions
cipher:encrypt and cipher:decrypt
already take care of initialization and reset.
syntax: s, err = cipher:update(partial, ...)
Updates the cipher with one or more strings. If the cipher has larger than block size of data to flush, the function will return a non-empty string as first argument. This function can be used in a streaming fashion to encrypt or decrypt continous data stream.
syntax: ok, err = cipher:update_aead_aad(aad)
Provides AAD data to the cipher, this function can be called more than one times.
syntax: tag, err = cipher:get_aead_tag(size?)
Gets the authentication tag from cipher with length specified as size
. If omitted, a tag with length
of half of the block size will be returned. The size cannot exceed block size.
This function can only be called after encryption is finished.
syntax: ok, err = cipher:set_aead_tag(tag)
Set the authentication tag of cipher with tag
.
This function can only be called before decryption starts.
syntax: s, err = cipher:final(partial?)
Returns the encrypted or decrypted text in raw binary string, optionally accept one string to encrypt or decrypt.

Note: in some implementations like libsodium
or Java, AEAD ciphers append the tag
(or MAC
)
at the end of encrypted ciphertext. In such case, user will need to manually cut off the tag
with correct size(usually 16 bytes) and pass in the ciphertext and tag
seperately.
See examples/aes-gcm-aead.lua for an example to use AEAD modes with authentication.
syntax: key, iv, err = cipher:derive(key, salt?, count?, md?)
Derive a key and IV (if appliable) from given material that can be used in current cipher. This function is useful mainly to work with keys that were already derived from same algorithm. Newer applications should use a more modern algorithm such as PBKDF2 provided by kdf.derive.
count
is the iteration count to perform. If it's omitted, it's set to 1
. Note the recent version of
openssl enc
cli tool automatically use PBKDF2 if -iter
is set to larger than 1,
while this function will not. To use PBKDF2 to derive a key, please refer to kdf.derive.
md
is the message digest name to use, it can take one of the values md2
, md5
, sha
or sha1
.
If it's omitted, it's default to sha1
.
local cipher = require("resty.openssl.cipher").new("aes-128-cfb")

Creates a crl
instance. txt
can be PEM or DER formatted text;
fmt
is a choice of PEM
, DER
to load specific format, or *

When txt
is omitted, new()
creates an empty crl
instance.
Staring from OpenSSL 3.0, this function accepts an optional properties
parameter
to explictly select provider to fetch algorithms.

Duplicates a X509_CRL*
to create a new crl
instance.
syntax: ok = crl.istype(table)
Returns true
if table is an instance of crl
. Returns false
otherwise.
syntax: ok, err = crl:set_attribute(instance)
syntax: instance, err = crl:get_attribute()
Setters and getters for crl attributes share the same syntax.
Attribute name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
issuer_name | x509.name | Issuer of the CRL |
last_update | number | Unix timestamp when CRL is not valid before |
next_update | number | Unix timestamp when CRL is not valid after |
version | number | Version of the certificate, value is one less than version. For example, 2 represents version 3 |
Additionally, getters and setters for extensions are also available:
Extension name | Type | Description |
---|
For all extensions, get_{extension}_critical
and set_{extension}_critical
is also supported to
access the critical
flag of the extension.
If the attribute is not found, getter will return nil, nil
.
local crl, err = require("resty.openssl.crl").new()
err = crl:set_next_update(ngx.time())
local not_before, err = crl:get_next_update()
ngx.say(not_before)
-- outputs 1571875065
Note that user may also access the certain extension by crl:get_extension and
crl:set_extension, while the later two function returns or requires
extension instead. User may use getter and setters listed here if modification
of current extensions is needed; use crl:get_extension or
crl:set_extension if user are adding or replacing the whole extension or
getters/setters are not implemented. If the getter returned a type of crl.*
instance, it can be
converted to a extension instance by extension:from_data,
and thus used by crl:get_extension and crl:set_extension

Module to interact with every X.509 extensions.
This module is particular useful to create extensions not supported by
x509.*
modules or custom extensions.
syntax: ext, err = extension.new(name, value, data?)
Creates a new extension
instance. name
and value
are strings in OpenSSL
arbitrary extension format.
data
can be a table, string or nil. Where data
is a table, the following key will be looked up:
data = {
issuer = resty.openssl.x509 instance,
subject = resty.openssl.x509 instance,
request = resty.openssl.x509.csr instance,
crl = resty.openssl.x509.crl instance,
issuer_pkey = resty.openssl.pkey instance, -- >= OpenSSL 3.0
}
From OpenSSL 3.0, issuer_pkey
can be specified as a fallback source for
generating the authority key identifier extension when issuer
is same as subject
.
When data
is a string, it's the full nconf string. Using section lookup from value
to
data
is also supported.
Example usages:
local extension = require("resty.openssl.x509.extension")
-- extendedKeyUsage=serverAuth,clientAuth
local ext, err = extension.new("extendedKeyUsage", "serverAuth,clientAuth")
-- crlDistributionPoints=URI:http://myhost.com/myca.crl

couple of other defaults but does not override the parameters set from
store:set_purpose.
verify_flags
paramter is the additional verify flags to be set. See store:set_flags
for all available flags.
syntax: ok, err = store:check_revocation(verified_chain, properties?)
Only does the revocation check. The first argument verified_chain
must be a
resty.openssl.x509.chain instance which could be returned from
store_ctx:verify
or be built by yourself. Note the first cert needs to be the end entity
certificate you want to check and the second cert needs to be its issuer.
Staring from OpenSSL 3.0, this function accepts an optional properties
parameter
to explictly select provider to fetch algorithms.
Returns true
when the certificate isn't revoked,
otherwise returns nil
and error explaining the reason.

syntax: for k, obj in pairs(x)
syntax: for k, obj in ipairs(x)
syntax: len = #x
syntax: obj = x[i]
Access the underlying objects as it's a Lua table. Make sure your LuaJIT compiled
with -DLUAJIT_ENABLE_LUA52COMPAT
flag.
Each object may only support either pairs
or ipairs
. Index is 1-based.
local name, err = require("resty.openssl.x509.name").new()
local _, err = name:add("CN", "example.com")
for k, obj in pairs(name) do
ngx.say(k, ":", require("cjson").encode(obj))

syntax: obj = x:index(i)
Returns objects at index of i
of the table, index is 1-based. If index is out of bound, nil
is returned.
- When a type is added or returned to another type, it's internal cdata is always copied.
local name = require("resty.openssl.x509.name"):add("CN", "example.com")
local x509 = require("resty.openssl.x509").new()
-- `name` is copied when added to x509
x509:set_subject_name(name)
name:add("L", "Mars")
-- subject_name in x509 will not be modified
- The creator set the GC handler; the user must not free it.
- For a stack:
- If it's created by
new()
: set GC handler to sk_TYPE_pop_free- The gc handler for elements being added to stack should not be set. Instead, rely on the gc handler of the stack to free each individual elements.
- If it's created by
dup()
(shallow copy):- If elements support reference counter (like X509): increase ref count for all elements by 1; set GC handler to sk_TYPE_pop_free.
- If not, set GC handler to sk_free
- Additionally, the stack duplicates the element when it's added to stack, a GC handler for the duplicate must be set. But a reference should be kept in Lua land to prevent premature gc of individual elements. (See x509.altname).
- Shallow copy for stack is fine because in current design user can't modify the element in the stack directly. Each elemente is duplicated when added to stack and when returned.
- If it's created by
Starting from OpenSSL 3.0, this library provides a genric interface to get and set abitrary parameters from underlying implementation. This works for cipher, pkey, digest, mac and kdf.
Some can be used to provide equal results with existing functions, for example the following code produces same result.
local pkey = require("resty.openssl.pkey").new({ type = "EC" })
pkey:get_param("priv", nil, "bn") == pkey:get_parameters().private
local cipher = require("resty.openssl.cipher").new("aes-256-gcm")
cipher:encrypt(string.rep("0", 32), string.rep("0", "12"), "secret", false, "aad")
cipher:get_param("tag", 16) == cipher:get_aead_tag()
syntax: schema, err = x:gettable_params(raw?)
Returns the readable schema as a Lua table for all gettable params.
When raw
is set to true, the function returns the raw schema instead.
syntax: schema, err = x:settable_params(raw?)
Returns the readable schema as a Lua table for all settable params.
When raw
is set to true, the function returns the raw schema instead.
local c = require("resty.openssl.cipher").new("aes-256-gcm")
print(cjson.encode(c:settable_params()))
-- outputs [["ivlen","unsigned integer (max 8 bytes large)"],["tag","octet string (arbitrary size)"],["tlsaad","octet string (arbitrary size)"],["tlsivfixed","octet string (arbitrary size)"],["tlsivinv","octet string (arbitrary size)"]]
print(cjson.encode(c:gettable_params()))
-- outputs [["keylen","unsigned integer (max 8 bytes large)"],["ivlen","unsigned integer (max 8 bytes large)"],["taglen","unsigned integer (max 8 bytes large)"],["iv","octet string (arbitrary size)"],["updated-iv","octet string (arbitrary size)"],["tag","octet string (arbitrary size)"],["tlsaadpad","unsigned integer (max 8 bytes large)"],["tlsivgen","octet string (arbitrary size)"]]
syntax: value, err = x:get_param(key, want_size?, want_type?)
Read the param key
and return its value. The return value is a Lua number
or a string.
Certain params requires exact size to be set, in such case,
want_size
should be specified; if want_size
is not specified and, the
library use a buffer of 100 bytes to hold the return value.
Certain params returns a special type, user should explictly set want_type
as a string to correctly decode them. Currently want_type
can only be
"bn"
or unset. Note it may also be necessary to increase temporary buffer
size want_size
when want_type
is "bn"
.
local c = require("resty.openssl.cipher").new("aes-256-gcm")
print(c:get_param("taglen"))
-- outputs 16
print(c:get_param("tag"))
-- returns error, tag must have a explict size
print(c:get_param("tag", 16))
-- outputs the tag
local p = require("resty.openssl.pkey").new())
print(p:get_param("d"):to_hex())
-- returns error, d (private exponent) is a BIGNUM
print(p:get_param("d", 256, "bn"):to_hex())
-- returns d as resty.openssl.bn instance
syntax: ok, err = x:set_params(params)
Set params passed in with Lua table params
. The library does limited type check, user
is responsible for validity of input.
local k = require("resty.openssl.kdf").new("HKDF")
k:set_params({
digest = "md5",
salt = "salt",
info = "some info",
mode = kdf.HKDEF_MODE_EXPAND_ONLY,
-- as HKDF also accepts mode as string, use the literal below also works
-- mode = "EXPAND_ONLY"
}))
Lots of functions and tests for X509, CSR and CRL are generated from templates under
scripts
directory. Those functions and tests are either commented with AUTO GENERATED
or AUTOGEN
.
When making changes to them, please update the template under scripts/templates
instead. Then
regenerate them again.
cd scripts
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python3 ./x509_autogen.py
Although only a small combinations of CPU arch and OpenSSL version are tested, the library should function well as long as the linked OpenSSL library is API compatible. This means the same name of functions are exported with same argument types.
For OpenSSL 1.0.2 series however, binary/ABI compatibility must be ensured as some struct members are accessed directly. They are accessed by memory offset in assembly.
OpenSSL keeps ABI/binary compatibility with minor releases or letter releases. So all structs offsets and macro constants are kept same.
If you plan to use this library on an untested version of OpenSSL (like custom builds or pre releases), this can be a good source to consult.
