Version: 0.7.0
Summary: PKCS#11 (Cryptoki) support for Python

Description: Python PKCS#11 - High Level Wrapper API
=======================================
A high level, "more Pythonic" interface to the PKCS#11 (Cryptoki) standard
to support HSM and Smartcard devices in Python.
The interface is designed to follow the logical structure of a HSM, with
useful defaults for obscurely documented parameters. Many APIs will optionally
accept iterables and act as generators, allowing you to stream large data
blocks for symmetric encryption.
python-pkcs11 also includes numerous utility functions to convert between PKCS
#11 data structures and common interchange formats including PKCS #1 and X.509.
python-pkcs11 is fully documented and has a full integration test suite for all
features, with continuous integration against multiple HSM platforms including:
* Thales nCipher
* Opencryptoki TPM
* OpenSC/Smartcard-HSM/Nitrokey HSM
Source: https://github.com/danni/python-pkcs11
Documentation: http://python-pkcs11.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
Getting Started
---------------
Install from Pip:
::
pip install python-pkcs11
Or build from source:
::
python setup.py build
Assuming your PKCS#11 library is set as `PKCS11_MODULE` and contains a
token named `DEMO`:
AES
~~~
::
import pkcs11
# Initialise our PKCS#11 library
lib = pkcs11.lib(os.environ['PKCS11_MODULE'])
token = lib.get_token(token_label='DEMO')
data = b'INPUT DATA'
# Open a session on our token
with token.open(user_pin='1234') as session:
# Generate an AES key in this session
key = session.generate_key(pkcs11.KeyType.AES, 256)
# Get an initialisation vector
iv = session.generate_random(128) # AES blocks are fixed at 128 bits
# Encrypt our data
crypttext = key.encrypt(data, mechanism_param=iv)
3DES
~~~~
::
import pkcs11
# Initialise our PKCS#11 library
lib = pkcs11.lib(os.environ['PKCS11_MODULE'])
token = lib.get_token(token_label='DEMO')
data = b'INPUT DATA'
# Open a session on our token
with token.open(user_pin='1234') as session:
# Generate a DES key in this session
key = session.generate_key(pkcs11.KeyType.DES3)
# Get an initialisation vector
iv = session.generate_random(64) # DES blocks are fixed at 64 bits
# Encrypt our data
crypttext = key.encrypt(data, mechanism_param=iv)
RSA
~~~
::
import pkcs11
lib = pkcs11.lib(os.environ['PKCS11_MODULE'])
token = lib.get_token(token_label='DEMO')
data = b'INPUT DATA'
# Open a session on our token
with token.open(user_pin='1234') as session:
# Generate an RSA keypair in this session
pub, priv = session.generate_keypair(pkcs11.KeyType.RSA, 2048)
# Encrypt as one block
crypttext = pub.encrypt(data)
DSA
~~~
::
import pkcs11
lib = pkcs11.lib(os.environ['PKCS11_MODULE'])
token = lib.get_token(token_label='DEMO')
data = b'INPUT DATA'
# Open a session on our token
with token.open(user_pin='1234') as session:
# Generate an DSA keypair in this session
pub, priv = session.generate_keypair(pkcs11.KeyType.DSA, 1024)
# Sign
signature = priv.sign(data)
ECDSA
~~~~~
::
import pkcs11
lib = pkcs11.lib(os.environ['PKCS11_MODULE'])
token = lib.get_token(token_label='DEMO')
data = b'INPUT DATA'
# Open a session on our token
with token.open(user_pin='1234') as session:
# Generate an EC keypair in this session from a named curve
ecparams = session.create_domain_parameters(
pkcs11.KeyType.EC, {
pkcs11.Attribute.EC_PARAMS: pkcs11.util.ec.encode_named_curve_parameters('prime256v1'),
}, local=True)
pub, priv = ecparams.generate_keypair()
# Sign
signature = priv.sign(data)
Diffie-Hellman
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
::
import pkcs11
lib = pkcs11.lib(os.environ['PKCS11_MODULE'])
token = lib.get_token(token_label='DEMO')
with token.open() as session:
# Given shared Diffie-Hellman parameters
parameters = session.create_domain_parameters(pkcs11.KeyType.DH, {
pkcs11.Attribute.PRIME: prime, # Diffie-Hellman parameters
pkcs11.Attribute.BASE: base,
})
# Generate a DH key pair from the public parameters
public, private = parameters.generate_keypair()
# Share the public half of it with our other party.
_network_.write(public[Attribute.VALUE])
# And get their shared value
other_value = _network_.read()
# Derive a shared session key with perfect forward secrecy
session_key = private.derive_key(
pkcs11.KeyType.AES, 128,
mechanism_param=other_value)
Elliptic-Curve Diffie-Hellman
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
::
import pkcs11
lib = pkcs11.lib(os.environ['PKCS11_MODULE'])
token = lib.get_token(token_label='DEMO')
with token.open() as session:
# Given DER encocded EC parameters, e.g. from
# openssl ecparam -outform der -name <named curve>
parameters = session.create_domain_parameters(pkcs11.KeyType.EC, {
pkcs11.Attribute.EC_PARAMS: ecparams,
})
# Generate a DH key pair from the public parameters
public, private = parameters.generate_keypair()
# Share the public half of it with our other party.
_network_.write(public[pkcs11.Attribute.EC_POINT])
# And get their shared value
other_value = _network_.read()
# Derive a shared session key
session_key = private.derive_key(
pkcs11.KeyType.AES, 128,
mechanism_param=(pkcs11.KDF.NULL, None, other_value))

More info on PKCS #11
---------------------
The latest version of the PKCS #11 spec is available from OASIS:
http://docs.oasis-open.org/pkcs11/pkcs11-base/v2.40/pkcs11-base-v2.40.html
You should also consult the documentation for your PKCS #11 implementation.
Many implementations expose additional vendor options configurable in your
environment, including alternative features, modes and debugging
information.
