openCryptoki

Package version 3.14

Please see ChangeLog for release specific information.

OVERVIEW

openCryptoki version 3.14 implements the PKCS#11 specification version 2.20.

This package includes several cryptographic tokens: CCA, ICA, TPM , SWToken, ICSF and EP11.

For a more in-depth overview of openCryptoki, please refer to the HOWTO

REQUIREMENTS:

  • IBM ICA - requires libica library version 3.3.0 or higher for accessing ICA hardware crypto on IBM zSeries.

  • IBM CCA - requires IBM XCrypto CEX3C card (or higher) and the CEX3C host libraries and tools version 4.1 (or higher).

  • TPM - requires a TPM, TPM tools, and TCG software stack.

  • SWToken - The software token uses OpenSSL version 1.0.2 or higher.

  • ICSF - The Integrated Cryptographic Service Facility (ICSF) token requires openldap and openldap client software version 2.4.23 or higher. Lex and Yacc are also required to build this token.

  • EP11 - The EP11 token is a token that uses the IBM Crypto Express adapters (starting with Crypto Express 4S adapters) configured with Enterprise PKCS#11 (EP11) firmware.

BUILD PROCESS

The simplest way to compile this package is to enter the source code main directory and do the following:

  1. Run the bootstrap.sh script by typing:
    $ ./bootstrap.sh
  1. Configure the source code by typing:
    $ ./configure

If you're planning to install the package into your home directory or to a location other than /usr/local then add the flag --prefix=PATH to configure. Fox example, if your home directory is /home/luser you can configure the package to install itself there by invoking:

    $ ./configure --prefix=/home/luser

If your stdll headers and libraries are not under any standard path, you will need to pass the paths to your files to the configure script. For instance:

    $ CPPFLAGS="-L/path/lib" LDFLAGS="-I/path/include" ./configure

See ./configure --help for info on various options. The default behavior is to build a default token implicitly. For the s390 platform, the default token is ICA. For other platforms, the default token is the software token. Other tokens may be enabled using the corresponding --enable-<tok> configuration option provided the appropriate libraries are available.

While running, configure prints some messages telling which features is it checking for.

  1. Compile the package by typing:
    $ make
  1. openCryptoki defaults to be usable by anyone who is in the group pkcs11. Add the pkcs11 group before installing it, by typing as root the command:
    # groupadd pkcs11

In addition, add the necessary user to the pkcs11 group (root doesn't need to be in pkcs11 group):

    # usermod -G pkcs11 <user>
  1. Type make install (as root) to install the programs and any data files and documentation. During installation, the following files go to the following directories:
    /prefix/sbin/pkcsconf
    /prefix/sbin/pkcsslotd
    /prefix/sbin/pkcsicsf
    /prefix/libdir/libopencryptoki.so
    /prefix/libdir/libopencryptoki.so.0
    /prefix/libdir/opencryptoki/libopencryptoki.so
    /prefix/libdir/opencryptoki/libopencryptoki.so.0
    /prefix/libdir/opencryptoki/libopencryptoki.so.0.0.0
    /prefix/var/lib/opencryptoki
    /prefix/etc/opencryptoki/opencryptoki.conf

Token objects, which may be optionally built, go to the following locations:

    /prefix/libdir/opencryptoki/stdll/libpkcs11_cca.so
    /prefix/libdir/opencryptoki/stdll/libpkcs11_cca.so.0
    /prefix/libdir/opencryptoki/stdll/libpkcs11_cca.so.0.0.0
    /prefix/libdir/opencryptoki/stdll/libpkcs11_ep11.so
    /prefix/libdir/opencryptoki/stdll/libpkcs11_ep11.so.0
    /prefix/libdir/opencryptoki/stdll/libpkcs11_ep11.so.0.0.0
    /prefix/libdir/opencryptoki/stdll/libpkcs11_ica.so
    /prefix/libdir/opencryptoki/stdll/libpkcs11_ica.so.0
    /prefix/libdir/opencryptoki/stdll/libpkcs11_ica.so.0.0.0
    /prefix/libdir/opencryptoki/stdll/libpkcs11_icsf.so
    /prefix/libdir/opencryptoki/stdll/libpkcs11_icsf.so.0
    /prefix/libdir/opencryptoki/stdll/libpkcs11_icsf.so.0.0.0
    /prefix/libdir/opencryptoki/stdll/libpkcs11_sw.so
    /prefix/libdir/opencryptoki/stdll/libpkcs11_sw.so.0
    /prefix/libdir/opencryptoki/stdll/libpkcs11_sw.so.0.0.0
    /prefix/libdir/opencryptoki/stdll/libpkcs11_tpm.so
    /prefix/libdir/opencryptoki/stdll/libpkcs11_tpm.so.0
    /prefix/libdir/opencryptoki/stdll/libpkcs11_tpm.so.0.0.0

where prefix is either /usr/local or the PATH that you specified in the --prefix flag. libdir is the name of the library directory, for 32-bit libraries it is usually lib and for 64-bit libraries it is usually lib64.

To maintain backwards compatibility, some additional symlinks are generated (note that these are deprecated and applications should migrate to use the LSB-compliant names and locations for libraries and executable):

    /prefix/lib/opencryptoki/PKCS11_API.so
    - Symlink to /prefix/lib/opencryptoki/libopencryptoki.so

    /prefix/lib/opencryptoki/stdll/PKCS11_CCA.so
    - Symlink to /prefix/lib/opencryptoki/stdll/libpkcs11_cca.so

    /prefix/lib/opencryptoki/stdll/PKCS11_EP11.so
    - Symlink to /prefix/lib/opencryptoki/stdll/libpkcs11_ep11.so

    /prefix/lib/opencryptoki/stdll/PKCS11_ICA.so
    - Symlink to /prefix/lib/opencryptoki/stdll/libpkcs11_ica.so

    /prefix/lib/opencryptoki/stdll/PKCS11_ICSF.so
    - Symlink to /prefix/lib/opencryptoki/stdll/libpkcs11_icsf.so

    /prefix/lib/opencryptoki/stdll/PKCS11_SW.so
    - Symlink to /prefix/lib/opencryptoki/stdll/libpkcs11_sw.so

    /prefix/lib/pkcs11/PKCS11_API.so
    - Symlink to /prefix/lib/opencryptoki/libopencryptoki.so

    /prefix/lib/pkcs11
    - Directory created if non-existent

    /prefix/lib/pkcs11/methods
    - Symlink to /prefix/sbin

    /prefix/lib/pkcs11/stdll
    - Symlink to /prefix/lib/opencryptoki/stdll

    /prefix/etc/pkcs11
    - Symlink to /prefix/var/lib/opencryptoki

If any of these directories do not presently exist, they will be created on demand. Note that if prefix is /usr, then /prefix/var and /prefix/etc resolve to /var and /etc. On the make install stage, if content exists in the old /prefix/etc/pkcs11 directory, it will be migrated to the new '/prefix/var/lib/opencryptoki` location.

If you are installing in your home directory make sure that /home/luser/bin is in your path. If you're using the bash shell add this line at the end of your .bashrc file:

    PATH="/home/luser/bin:${PATH}"
    export PATH

If you are using csh or tcsh, then use this line instead:

    setenv PATH /home/luser/bin:${PATH}

By prepending your home directory to the rest of the PATH you can override systemwide installed software with your own custom installation.

For more installation information, please check INSTALL.

CONFIGURATION

See: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/linuxonibm/com.ibm.linux.z.lxce/lxce_stackoverview.html

Prior to version 3, openCryptoki used pk_config_data as its configuration file. This file was created upon running pkcs11_startup. In version 3, pkcs11_startup and pk_config_data have been removed and replaced with a customizable config file named, opencryptoki.conf. It contains an entry for each token currently supported by openCryptoki. However, only those token, whose hardware and software requirements are available on the local system, will show up as present and available upon running the pkcsconf -t command.

Before using, each token must be first initialized. You can select the token with the -c command line option; refer to the documentation linked to above for further instructions.

Initialize a particular token by running pkcsconf:

    $ pkcsconf -I -c

In this version of openCryptoki, the default SO PIN is 87654321. This should be changed to a different PIN value before use.

You can change the SO PIN by running pkcsconf:

    $ pkcsconf -P -c

You can initialize and change the user PIN by typing:

    $ pkcsconf -u -c

You can later change the user PIN again by typing:

    $ pkcsconf -p -c
