PKCS#11 ![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/7194dc6dd7e4532aa3e875443b4cf616773fd95e677a2aeb02c39b91dddb6505/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f6d69656b672f706b637331312e706e673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)
This is a Go implementation of the PKCS#11 API. It wraps the library closely, but uses Go idiom were it makes sense. It has been tested with SoftHSM.
SoftHSM
-
Make it use a custom configuration file
export SOFTHSM_CONF=$PWD/softhsm.conf
-
Then use
softhsm
to init itsofthsm --init-token --slot 0 --label test --pin 1234
-
Then use
libsofthsm.so
as the pkcs11 module:p := pkcs11.New("/usr/lib/softhsm/libsofthsm.so")
Examples
A skeleton program would look somewhat like this (yes, pkcs#11 is verbose):
p := pkcs11.New("/usr/lib/softhsm/libsofthsm.so")
err := p.Initialize()
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
defer p.Destroy()
defer p.Finalize()
slots, err := p.GetSlotList(true)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
session, err := p.OpenSession(slots[0], pkcs11.CKF_SERIAL_SESSION|pkcs11.CKF_RW_SESSION)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
defer p.CloseSession(session)
err = p.Login(session, pkcs11.CKU_USER, "1234")
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
defer p.Logout(session)
p.DigestInit(session, []*pkcs11.Mechanism{pkcs11.NewMechanism(pkcs11.CKM_SHA_1, nil)})
hash, err := p.Digest(session, []byte("this is a string"))
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
for _, d := range hash {
fmt.Printf("%x", d)
}
fmt.Println()
Further examples are included in the tests.
TODO
- Fix/double check endian stuff, see types.go NewAttribute()
- Look at the memory copying in fast functions (sign, hash etc)
