PKCS#11 tools

pkcs11-tools is a toolkit containing a bunch of small utilities to perform key management tasks on cryptographic tokens implementing a PKCS#11 interface. It features a number of commands similar to the unix CLI utilities, such as ls, mv, rm, od, and more. It also has specific commands to generate keys, generate CSRs, import certificates and other files, in a fashion compatible with most implementations, including both IBM and Oracle JVMs.

Amongst other things, it is also able to interface with NSS libraries from mozilla.org

News

The toolkit has reached v2.0. It features several major changes:

  • it supports (and requires) OpenSSL v1.1.1+
  • signing commands (p11mkcert, p11req and masqreq) implement OpenSSL algorithm methods. This will enable supporting more algorithms in the future.
  • major overhaul of the wrapping/unwrapping system: it is now possible to perform double wrapping (aka enveloppe wrapping) with a single command, in a secure fashion
  • p11keygen can now generate a session key and wrap it under one or several wrapping keys
  • a new command, p11rewrap, allows to unwrap a key and immediately rewrap in under one or several wrapping keys, in a secure fashion.

Introduction

To build the source code, simply execute (with appropriate privileges)

$ ./configure
$ make install

To list the methods available on a PKCS#11 token, use p11slotinfo, that will return the list of available mechanisms, together with allowed APIs.

$ p11slotinfo -l /usr/local/opt/softhsm/lib/softhsm/libsofthsm2.so
PKCS#11 module slot list:

To list the objects sitting on the token at slot with index 0, use p11ls. objects are listed together with their attributes;

$ p11ls -l /usr/local/opt/softhsm/lib/softhsm/libsofthsm2.so -s 0

To avoid specifying command line arguments, environment variables can be specified for the following items:

optional arg description environment variable
-l path to library PKCS11LIB
-m path to NSS keystore (for NSS only) PKCS11NSSDIR
-s slot index number PKCS11SLOT
-t token name PKCS11TOKEN
-p token password PKCS11PASSWORD

To extract the value of a non-sensitive object, use p11cat:

$ p11cat pubk/rsa

To see an object's value, use p11more:

$ p11more cert/rootca

Moreover, p11odcan be used to extract all attribute values from an object:

$ p11od pubk/dh

Generating a key is easy: just use p11keygen with the proper arguments.

$ p11keygen -k ec -q prime256v1 -i my-ec-key CKA_SIGN=true CKA_VERIFY=true
Generating, please wait...
key generation succeeded

Likewise, p11req is used to generate a CSR.

$ p11req -i my-ec-key -d '/CN=my.site.org/O=My organization/C=BE' -e 'DNS:another-url-for-my.site.org' -v

Later, p11importcert can be used to import the certificate back to the keystore. Public keys can be imported using p11importpubk, and data files with p11importdata.

If you need to wrap or unwrap a key, you can use the command p11wrap:

$ p11wrap -w aes-wrapping -i rootca -a cbcpad >wrapped-key.wrap
key wrapping succeeded

The key can be unwrapped later, reusing the wrapped-key.wrap file created earlier:

$ p11unwrap -f wrapped-key.wrap
key unwrapping succeeded

Installation

The project can compile on many platforms, including Linux, AIX, Solaris. Using cross-compilers, it is also possible to compile for the Windows platform. Compilation under MacOS requires brew. Please refer to docs/INSTALL.md for installation instructions.
