=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The PEM functions read or write structures in PEM format. In
|
|
this sense PEM format is simply base64 encoded data surrounded
|
|
by header lines.
|
|
|
|
For more details about the meaning of arguments see the
|
|
B<PEM FUNCTION ARGUMENTS> section.
|
|
|
|
Each operation has four functions associated with it. For
|
|
clarity the term "B<foobar> functions" will be used to collectively
|
|
refer to the PEM_read_bio_foobar(), PEM_read_foobar(),
|
|
PEM_write_bio_foobar() and PEM_write_foobar() functions.
|
|
|
|
The B<PrivateKey> functions read or write a private key in
|
|
PEM format using an EVP_PKEY structure. The write routines use
|
|
"traditional" private key format and can handle both RSA and DSA
|
|
private keys. The read functions can additionally transparently
|
|
handle PKCS#8 format encrypted and unencrypted keys too.
|
|
|
|
PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() and PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey()
|
|
write a private key in an EVP_PKEY structure in PKCS#8
|
|
EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo format using PKCS#5 v2.0 password based encryption
|
|
algorithms. The B<cipher> argument specifies the encryption algorithm to
|
|
use: unlike all other PEM routines the encryption is applied at the
|
|
PKCS#8 level and not in the PEM headers. If B<cipher> is NULL then no
|
|
encryption is used and a PKCS#8 PrivateKeyInfo structure is used instead.
|
|
|
|
PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey_nid() and PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey_nid()
|
|
also write out a private key as a PKCS#8 EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo however
|
|
it uses PKCS#5 v1.5 or PKCS#12 encryption algorithms instead. The algorithm
|
|
to use is specified in the B<nid> parameter and should be the NID of the
|
|
corresponding OBJECT IDENTIFIER (see NOTES section).
|
|
|
|
The B<PUBKEY> functions process a public key using an EVP_PKEY
|
|
structure. The public key is encoded as a SubjectPublicKeyInfo
|
|
structure.
|
|
|
|
The B<RSAPrivateKey> functions process an RSA private key using an
|
|
RSA structure. It handles the same formats as the B<PrivateKey>
|
|
functions but an error occurs if the private key is not RSA.
|
|
|
|
The B<RSAPublicKey> functions process an RSA public key using an
|
|
RSA structure. The public key is encoded using a PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey
|
|
structure.
|
|
|
|
The B<RSA_PUBKEY> functions also process an RSA public key using
|
|
an RSA structure. However the public key is encoded using a
|
|
SubjectPublicKeyInfo structure and an error occurs if the public
|
|
key is not RSA.
|
|
|
|
The B<DSAPrivateKey> functions process a DSA private key using a
|
|
DSA structure. It handles the same formats as the B<PrivateKey>
|
|
functions but an error occurs if the private key is not DSA.
|
|
|
|
The B<DSA_PUBKEY> functions process a DSA public key using
|
|
a DSA structure. The public key is encoded using a
|
|
SubjectPublicKeyInfo structure and an error occurs if the public
|
|
key is not DSA.
|
|
|
|
The B<DSAparams> functions process DSA parameters using a DSA
|
|
structure. The parameters are encoded using a foobar structure.
|
|
|
|
The B<DHparams> functions process DH parameters using a DH
|
|
structure. The parameters are encoded using a PKCS#3 DHparameter
|
|
structure.
|
|
|
|
The B<X509> functions process an X509 certificate using an X509
|
|
structure. They will also process a trusted X509 certificate but
|
|
any trust settings are discarded.
|
|
|
|
The B<X509_AUX> functions process a trusted X509 certificate using
|
|
an X509 structure.
|
|
|
|
The B<X509_REQ> and B<X509_REQ_NEW> functions process a PKCS#10
|
|
certificate request using an X509_REQ structure. The B<X509_REQ>
|
|
write functions use B<CERTIFICATE REQUEST> in the header whereas
|
|
the B<X509_REQ_NEW> functions use B<NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST>
|
|
(as required by some CAs). The B<X509_REQ> read functions will
|
|
handle either form so there are no B<X509_REQ_NEW> read functions.
|
|
|
|
The B<X509_CRL> functions process an X509 CRL using an X509_CRL
|
|
structure.
|
|
|
|
The B<PKCS7> functions process a PKCS#7 ContentInfo using a PKCS7
|
|
structure.
|
|
|
|
The B<NETSCAPE_CERT_SEQUENCE> functions process a Netscape Certificate
|
|
Sequence using a NETSCAPE_CERT_SEQUENCE structure.
|
|
|
|
=head1 PEM FUNCTION ARGUMENTS
|
|
|
|
The PEM functions have many common arguments.
|
|
|
|
The B<bp> BIO parameter (if present) specifies the BIO to read from
|
|
or write to.
|
|
|
|
The B<fp> FILE parameter (if present) specifies the FILE pointer to
|
|
read from or write to.
|
|
|
|
The PEM read functions all take an argument B<TYPE **x> and return
|
|
a B<TYPE *> pointer. Where B<TYPE> is whatever structure the function
|
|
uses. If B<x> is NULL then the parameter is ignored. If B<x> is not
|
|
NULL but B<*x> is NULL then the structure returned will be written
|
|
to B<*x>. If neither B<x> nor B<*x> is NULL then an attempt is made
|
|
to reuse the structure at B<*x> (but see BUGS and EXAMPLES sections).
|
|
Irrespective of the value of B<x> a pointer to the structure is always
|
|
returned (or NULL if an error occurred).
|
|
|
|
The PEM functions which write private keys take an B<enc> parameter
|
|
which specifies the encryption algorithm to use, encryption is done
|
|
at the PEM level. If this parameter is set to NULL then the private
|
|
key is written in unencrypted form.
|
|
|
|
The B<cb> argument is the callback to use when querying for the pass
|
|
phrase used for encrypted PEM structures (normally only private keys).
|
|
|
|
For the PEM write routines if the B<kstr> parameter is not NULL then
|
|
B<klen> bytes at B<kstr> are used as the passphrase and B<cb> is
|
|
ignored.
|
|
|
|
If the B<cb> parameters is set to NULL and the B<u> parameter is not
|
|
NULL then the B<u> parameter is interpreted as a null terminated string
|
|
to use as the passphrase. If both B<cb> and B<u> are NULL then the
|
|
default callback routine is used which will typically prompt for the
|
|
passphrase on the current terminal with echoing turned off.
|
|
|
|
The default passphrase callback is sometimes inappropriate (for example
|
|
in a GUI application) so an alternative can be supplied. The callback
|
|
routine has the following form:
|
|
|
|
int cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *u);
|
|
|
|
B<buf> is the buffer to write the passphrase to. B<size> is the maximum
|
|
length of the passphrase (i.e. the size of buf). B<rwflag> is a flag
|
|
which is set to 0 when reading and 1 when writing. A typical routine
|
|
will ask the user to verify the passphrase (for example by prompting
|
|
for it twice) if B<rwflag> is 1. The B<u> parameter has the same
|
|
value as the B<u> parameter passed to the PEM routine. It allows
|
|
arbitrary data to be passed to the callback by the application
|
|
(for example a window handle in a GUI application). The callback
|
|
B<must> return the number of characters in the passphrase or 0 if
|
|
an error occurred.
|
|
|
|
=head1 EXAMPLES
|
|
|
|
Although the PEM routines take several arguments in almost all applications
|
|
most of them are set to 0 or NULL.
|
|
|
|
Read a certificate in PEM format from a BIO:
|
|
|
|
X509 *x;
|
|
x = PEM_read_bio_X509(bp, NULL, 0, NULL);
|
|
if (x == NULL)
|
|
{
|
|
/* Error */
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Alternative method:
|
|
|
|
X509 *x = NULL;
|
|
if (!PEM_read_bio_X509(bp, &x, 0, NULL))
|
|
{
|
|
/* Error */
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Write a certificate to a BIO:
|
|
|
|
if (!PEM_write_bio_X509(bp, x))
|
|
{
|
|
/* Error */
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Write an unencrypted private key to a FILE pointer:
|
|
|
|
if (!PEM_write_PrivateKey(fp, key, NULL, NULL, 0, 0, NULL))
|
|
{
|
|
/* Error */
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Write a private key (using traditional format) to a BIO using
|
|
triple DES encryption, the pass phrase is prompted for:
|
|
|
|
if (!PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey(bp, key, EVP_des_ede3_cbc(), NULL, 0, 0, NULL))
|
|
{
|
|
/* Error */
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Write a private key (using PKCS#8 format) to a BIO using triple
|
|
DES encryption, using the pass phrase "hello":
|
|
|
|
if (!PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey(bp, key, EVP_des_ede3_cbc(), NULL, 0, 0, "hello"))
|
|
{
|
|
/* Error */
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Read a private key from a BIO using the pass phrase "hello":
|
|
|
|
key = PEM_read_bio_PrivateKey(bp, NULL, 0, "hello");
|
|
if (key == NULL)
|
|
{
|
|
/* Error */
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Read a private key from a BIO using a pass phrase callback:
|
|
|
|
key = PEM_read_bio_PrivateKey(bp, NULL, pass_cb, "My Private Key");
|
|
if (key == NULL)
|
|
{
|
|
/* Error */
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Skeleton pass phrase callback:
|
|
|
|
int pass_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *u);
|
|
{
|
|
int len;
|
|
char *tmp;
|
|
/* We'd probably do something else if 'rwflag' is 1 */
|
|
printf("Enter pass phrase for \"%s\"\n", u);
|
|
|
|
/* get pass phrase, length 'len' into 'tmp' */
|
|
tmp = "hello";
|
|
len = strlen(tmp);
|
|
|
|
if (len <= 0) return 0;
|
|
/* if too long, truncate */
|
|
if (len > size) len = size;
|
|
memcpy(buf, tmp, len);
|
|
return len;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
=head1 NOTES
|
|
|
|
The old B<PrivateKey> write routines are retained for compatibility.
|
|
New applications should write private keys using the
|
|
PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() or PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() routines
|
|
because they are more secure (they use an iteration count of 2048 whereas
|
|
the traditional routines use a count of 1) unless compatibility with older
|
|
versions of OpenSSL is important.
|
|
|
|
The B<PrivateKey> read routines can be used in all applications because

they handle all formats transparently.
|
|
|
|
A frequent cause of problems is attempting to use the PEM routines like
|
|
this:
|
|
|
|
X509 *x;
|
|
PEM_read_bio_X509(bp, &x, 0, NULL);
|
|
|
|
this is a bug because an attempt will be made to reuse the data at B<x>
|
|
which is an uninitialised pointer.
|
|
|
|
=head1 PEM ENCRYPTION FORMAT
|
|
|
|
This old B<PrivateKey> routines use a non standard technique for encryption.
|
|
|
|
The private key (or other data) takes the following form:
|
|
|
|
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
|
|
Proc-Type: 4,ENCRYPTED
|
|
DEK-Info: DES-EDE3-CBC,3F17F5316E2BAC89
|
|
|
|
...base64 encoded data...
|
|
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
|
|
|
|
The line beginning DEK-Info contains two comma separated pieces of information:
|
|
the encryption algorithm name as used by EVP_get_cipherbyname() and an 8
|
|
byte B<salt> encoded as a set of hexadecimal digits.
|
|
|
|
After this is the base64 encoded encrypted data.
|
|
|
|
The encryption key is determined using EVP_BytesToKey(), using B<salt> and an
|
|
iteration count of 1. The IV used is the value of B<salt> and *not* the IV
|
|
returned by EVP_BytesToKey().
|
|
|
|
=head1 BUGS
|
|
|
|
The PEM read routines in some versions of OpenSSL will not correctly reuse
|
|
an existing structure. Therefore the following:
|
|
|
|
PEM_read_bio_X509(bp, &x, 0, NULL);
|
|
|
|
where B<x> already contains a valid certificate, may not work, whereas:
|
|
|
|
X509_free(x);
|
|
x = PEM_read_bio_X509(bp, NULL, 0, NULL);
|
|
|
|
is guaranteed to work.
|
|
|
|
=head1 RETURN CODES
|
|
|
|
The read routines return either a pointer to the structure read or NULL
|
|
if an error occurred.
|
|
|
|
The write routines return 1 for success or 0 for failure.
