Python library for signing x509 using keys in an pkcs11 device such as a HSM
Project description
python_x509_pkcs11
Seamless signing x509 using PKCS11 device for key storage
Currently supports
- Creating a root CA and generating its RSA key in the PKCS11 device
- Using the key in the PKCS11 device to sign certificates (or Intermediate CAs)
- Creating CRLs with the PKCS11 device key
- Store multiple keys in the PKCS11 device enabling a full PKI infrastructure
- 'Advanced' handling of fragile persistent PKCS11 sessions, including recreating the session if PKCS11 operation timeout
This package is pretty much a wrapper around python-pkcs11 and asn1crypto
Setup
# Install this package
pip install python_x509_pkcs11
# Install deps and add your user to the softhsm group
sudo apt-get install opensc softhsm2
sudo usermod -a -G softhsm $USER
sudo reboot # Yeah seem to not update your groups without a reboot
# export env values the code will use
export PKCS11_MODULE="/usr/lib/softhsm/libsofthsm2.so"
export PKCS11_PIN="1234"
export PKCS11_TOKEN="my_test_token_1"
# Initialize the token
softhsm2-util --init-token --slot 0 --label $PKCS11_TOKEN --pin $PKCS11_PIN --so-pin $PKCS11_PIN
Usage
Look at the tests/test_root_ca.py
Tests
# Install the package
pip install python_x509_pkcs11
# Export env vars
export PKCS11_MODULE="/usr/lib/softhsm/libsofthsm2.so"
export PKCS11_TOKEN='my_test_token_1'
export PKCS11_PIN='1234'
# Delete and init a token
softhsm2-util --delete-token --token my_test_token_1
softhsm2-util --init-token --slot 0 --label $PKCS11_TOKEN --pin $PKCS11_PIN --so-pin $PKCS11_PIN
# Run unittest with mypy, pylint pycodestyle
mypy --strict --namespace-packages --ignore-missing-imports tests/*.py
pylint tests/*.py
