The cryptoki framework, used for building cryptoki tokens.

|
|
Device</a>
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Defines cryptoki devices used in NSS. This
|
|
is not part of the exposed API. It is a low-level API allowing
|
|
NSS to manage cryptoki devices.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
The relationship is like this:<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
libpki --> libdev --> cryptoki<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
As an example,<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
NSSTrustDomain_FindCertificate --> NSSToken_FindCertificate -->
|
|
C_FindObjects<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<a href="http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/ident?i=NSSModule">NSSModule</a>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Replaces the SECMOD API. The module manages a
|
|
PRLibrary that holds a cryptoki implementation via a number of slots.
|
|
The API should provide the ability to Load and Unload a module,
|
|
Login and Logout to the module (through its slots), and to locate a
|
|
particular slot/token.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<a href="http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/ident?i=NSSSlot">NSSSlot</a>
|
|
<br>
|
|
This and NSSToken combine to replace the PK11 API parts
|
|
that relate to slot and token management. The slot API should
|
|
provide the ability to Login/Logout to a slot, check the login status,
|
|
determine basic configuration information about the slot, and modify
|
|
the password settings.<br>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Should slots also maintain a default session? This session would
|
|
be used for slot management calls (sections 9.5 and9.6 of PKCS#11). Or
|
|
is the token session sufficient (this would not work if C_GetTokenInfo and
|
|
C_InitToken need to be wrapped in a threadsafe session).<br>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<a href="http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/ident?i=NSSToken">NSSToken</a>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Fills in the gaps left by NSSSlot. Much of the
|
|
cryptoki API is directed towards slots. However, some functionality
|
|
clearly belongs with a token type. For example, a certificate
|
|
lives on a token, not a slot, so one would expect a function NSSToken_FindCertificate.
|
|
Thus functions that deal with importing/exporting an object
|
|
and performing actual cryptographic operations belong here.<br>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>The distinction between a slot and a token is not clear. Most
|
|
functions take a slotID as an argument, even though it is obvious that
|
|
the event is intended to occur on a token. That leaves various
|
|
possibilities:</li>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Implement the API entirely as NSSToken. If the token is not
|
|
present, some calls will simply fail.</li>
|
|
<li>Divide the API between NSSToken and NSSSlot, as described above.
|
|
NSSSlot would handle cryptoki calls specified as "slot management",
|
|
while NSSToken handles actual token operations.</li>
|
|
<li>Others?</li>
|
|
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<li>Session management. Tokens needs a threadsafe session handle
|
|
to perform operations. CryptoContexts are meant to provide such sessions,
|
|
but other objects will need access to token functions as well (examples:
|
|
the TrustDomain_Find functions, _Login, _Logout, and others that do not exist
|
|
such as NSSToken_ChangePassword). For those functions, the token could
|
|
maintain a default session. Thus all NSSToken API functions would take
|
|
sessionOpt as an argument. If the caller is going to provide a session,
|
|
it sends an NSSSession there, otherwise it sends NULL and the default session
|
|
is utilized.<br>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
</ol>
|
|
Proposed:<br>
|
|
NSSSession<br>
|
|
Wraps a Cryptoki session. Created from a slot. Used to manage
|
|
sessions for crypto contexts. Has a lock field, which locks the session
|
|
if the slot is not threadsafe.<br>

<ol>
|
|
<li>The API leaves open the possibility of NSSCertificate meaning various

certificate types, not just X.509. The way to keep open this possibility
|
|
is to keep only generally useful information in the NSSCertificate type.
|
|
Examples would be the certificate encoding, label, trust (obtained
|
|
from cryptoki calls), an email address, etc. Some type of generic
|
|
reference should be kept to the decoded certificate, which would then be
|
|
accessed by a type-specific API (e.g., NSSX509_GetSubjectName).</li>

A trust domain is "the field in which certificates may
|
|
be validated." It is a collection of modules capable of performing
|
|
cryptographic operations and storing certs and keys. This collection
|
|
is managed by NSS in a manner opaque to the consumer. The slots
|
|
will have various orderings determining which has preference for a
|
|
given operation. For example, the trust domain may order the storage
|
|
of user certificates one way, and the storage of email certificates in
|
|
another way [is that a good example?].<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li> How will ordering work? We already have the suggestion
|
|
that there be two kinds of ordering: storage and search. How
|
|
will they be constructed/managed? Do we want to expose access
|
|
to a token that overrides this ordering (i.e., the download of updated
|
|
root certs may need to override storage order)</li>
|
|
<li>How are certs cached? Nelson wonders what it means to Stan
|
|
when a cert does not live on a token yet. Bob, Terry, and I discussed
|
|
this. My conclusion is that there should be a type, separate
|
|
from NSSCertificate, that holds the decoded cert parts (e.g., NSSX509Certificate,
|
|
or to avoid confusion, NSSX509DecodedParts). NSSCertificate would
|
|
keep a handle to this type, so that it only needs to decode the cert
|
|
once. The NSSTrustDomain would keep a hash table of cached certs,
|
|
some of which may not live on a token yet (i.e., they are only NSSX509DecodedParts).
|
|
This cache could be accessed in the same way the temp db was,
|
|
and when the cert is ready to be moved onto a token a call to NSSTrustDomain_ImportCertificate
|
|
is made. Note that this is essentially the same as CERT_TempCertToPerm.</li>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The hashtable in lib/base (copied from ckfw/hash.c) uses the identity
|
|
hash. Therefore, in a hash of certificates, the key is the certificate
|
|
pointer itself. One possibility is to store the decoded cert (NSSX509DecodedParts
|
|
above) as the value in the {key, value} pair. When a cert is decoded,
|
|
the cert pointer and decoding pointer are added to the hash. Subsequent
|
|
lookups have access to one or both of these pointers. This keeps NSSCertificate
|
|
separate from its decoding, while providing a way to locate it.</li>
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<li>The API is designed to keep token details hidden from the user. However,
|
|
it has already been realized that PSM and CMS may need special access to
|
|
tokens. Is this part of the TrustDomain API, or should PSM and CMS
|
|
be allowed to use "friend" headers from the Token API?</li>
|
|
<li>Do we want to allow traversal via NSSTrustDomain_TraverseXXXX?<br>

. The old NSS code had various types related to algorithms
|

running around in it. We had SECOidTag, SECAlgorithmID, SECItem's

|
for parameters, CK_MECHANISM for cryptoki, etc. This type should
|

be able to encapsulate all of those.</li>

Testing Stan</h3>
|
|
A new command line tool, pkiutil, has been created to use only
|
|
the Stan API. It depends on a new library, cmdlib, meant to replace
|
|
the old secutil library. The old library had code used by products
|
|
that needed to be integrated into the main library codebase somehow. The
|
|
goal of the new cmdlib is to have functionality needed strictly for NSS
|
|
tools.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
How to build:<br>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>cd nss/cmd/cmdlib; make</li>
|
|
<li>cd ../pkiutil; make</li>
|
|
|
|
</ol>
|
|
pkiutil will give detailed help with either "pkiutil -?" or "pkiutil
|
|
--help".<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
So far, the only available test is to list certs on the builtins token.
|
|
Copy "libnssckbi.so" (or whatever it is) to cmd/pkiutil. Then
|
|
run "pkiutil -L" or "pkiutil --list". The list of certificate nicknames
|
|
should be displayed.<br>
