@chapter Abstract key types and Hardware security modules

In several cases storing the long term cryptographic keys in a hard disk or
even in memory poses a significant risk. Once the system they are stored
is compromised the keys must be replaced as the secrecy of future sessions
is no longer guaranteed. Moreover, past sessions that were not protected by a
perfect forward secrecy offering ciphersuite are also to be assumed compromised.

If such threats need to be addressed, then it may be wise storing the keys in a security
module such as a smart card, an HSM or the TPM chip. Those modules ensure the
protection of the cryptographic keys by only allowing operations on them and
preventing their extraction. The purpose of the abstract key API is to provide
an API that will allow the handle of keys in memory and files, as well as keys
stored in such modules.

In GnuTLS the approach is to handle all keys transparently by the high level API, e.g.,
the API that loads a key or certificate from a file.
The high-level API will accept URIs in addition to files that specify keys on an HSM or in TPM,
and a callback function will be used to obtain any required keys. The URI format is defined in
@xcite{PKCS11URI}.

More information on the API is provided in the next sections. Examples of a URI of a certificate 
stored in an HSM, as well as a key stored in the TPM chip are shown below. To discover the URIs 
of the objects the @code{p11tool} (see @ref{p11tool Invocation}).
@example
pkcs11:token=Nikos;serial=307521161601031;model=PKCS%2315; \
manufacturer=EnterSafe;object=test1;type=cert

@section Abstract key types
@cindex abstract types

Since there are many forms of a public or private keys supported by @acronym{GnuTLS} such as
@acronym{X.509}, @acronym{PKCS} #11 or TPM it is desirable to allow common operations
on them. For these reasons the abstract @code{gnutls_privkey_t} and @code{gnutls_pubkey_t} were
introduced in @code{gnutls/@-abstract.h} header. Those types are initialized using a specific type of 
key and then can be used to perform operations in an abstract way. For example in order
to sign an X.509 certificate with a key that resides in a token the following steps can be
used.

@example
#include <gnutls/abstract.h>

void sign_cert( gnutls_x509_crt_t to_be_signed)
@{
gnutls_x509_crt_t ca_cert;
gnutls_privkey_t abs_key;

  /* initialize the abstract key */
  gnutls_privkey_init(&abs_key);

  /* keys stored in tokens are identified by URLs */
  gnutls_privkey_import_url(abs_key, key_url);

  gnutls_x509_crt_init(&ca_cert);
  gnutls_x509_crt_import_url(&ca_cert, cert_url);

  /* sign the certificate to be signed */
  gnutls_x509_crt_privkey_sign(to_be_signed, ca_cert, abs_key, 
                               GNUTLS_DIG_SHA256, 0);

@node Abstract public keys
@subsection Public keys
An abstract @code{gnutls_pubkey_t} can be initialized and freed by
using the functions below.

@showfuncB{gnutls_pubkey_init,gnutls_pubkey_deinit}

After initialization its values can be imported from
an existing structure like @code{gnutls_x509_crt_t},
or through an ASN.1 encoding of the X.509 @code{SubjectPublicKeyInfo}
sequence.

@showfuncB{gnutls_pubkey_import_x509,gnutls_pubkey_import_pkcs11}

@showfuncD{gnutls_pubkey_import_url,gnutls_pubkey_import_privkey,gnutls_pubkey_import,gnutls_pubkey_export}

@showfuncdesc{gnutls_pubkey_export2}

Other helper functions that allow directly importing from raw X.509 structures are shown below.

@showfuncA{gnutls_pubkey_import_x509_raw}

An important function is @funcref{gnutls_pubkey_import_url} which will import
public keys from URLs that identify objects stored in tokens (see @ref{Smart cards and HSMs} and @ref{Trusted Platform Module}).
A function to check for a supported by GnuTLS URL is @funcref{gnutls_url_is_supported}.

@showfuncdesc{gnutls_url_is_supported}

Additional functions are available that will return
information over a public key, such as a unique key ID, as well as a function 
that given a public key fingerprint would provide a memorable sketch.

Note that @funcref{gnutls_pubkey_get_key_id} calculates a SHA1 digest of the 
public key as a DER-formatted, subjectPublicKeyInfo object.  Other implementations 
use different approaches, e.g., some use the ``common method'' described in
section 4.2.1.2 of @xcite{RFC5280} which calculates a digest on a part of the
subjectPublicKeyInfo object.

@showfuncD{gnutls_pubkey_get_pk_algorithm,gnutls_pubkey_get_preferred_hash_algorithm,gnutls_pubkey_get_key_id,gnutls_random_art}

To export the key-specific parameters, or obtain a unique key ID the following functions are provided.

@showfuncD{gnutls_pubkey_export_rsa_raw2,gnutls_pubkey_export_dsa_raw2,gnutls_pubkey_export_ecc_raw2,gnutls_pubkey_export_ecc_x962}

@node Abstract private keys
@subsection Private keys
An abstract @code{gnutls_privkey_t} can be initialized and freed by
using the functions below.

@showfuncB{gnutls_privkey_init,gnutls_privkey_deinit}

After initialization its values can be imported from
an existing structure like @code{gnutls_x509_privkey_t},
but unlike public keys it cannot be exported. That is
to allow abstraction over keys stored in hardware that 
makes available only operations.

@showfuncB{gnutls_privkey_import_x509,gnutls_privkey_import_pkcs11}

Other helper functions that allow directly importing from raw X.509
structures are shown below. Again, as with public keys, private keys
can be imported from a hardware module using URLs.

@showfuncdesc{gnutls_privkey_import_url}

@showfuncD{gnutls_privkey_import_x509_raw,gnutls_privkey_get_pk_algorithm,gnutls_privkey_get_type,gnutls_privkey_status}

In order to support cryptographic operations using 
an external API, the following function is provided.
This allows for a simple extensibility API without
resorting to @acronym{PKCS} #11.

@showfuncdesc{gnutls_privkey_import_ext4}

On the private keys where exporting of parameters is possible (i.e.,
software keys), the following functions are also available.

@showfuncC{gnutls_privkey_export_rsa_raw2,gnutls_privkey_export_dsa_raw2,gnutls_privkey_export_ecc_raw2}

@node Operations
@subsection Operations
The abstract key types can be used to access signing and
signature verification operations with the underlying keys.

@showfuncdesc{gnutls_privkey_sign_data}
@showfuncdesc{gnutls_privkey_sign_hash}
@showfuncdesc{gnutls_privkey_decrypt_data}

Signing existing structures, such as certificates, CRLs,

@node Application-specific keys
@section System and application-specific keys
@cindex Application-specific keys
@cindex System-specific keys

@subsection System-specific keys
In several systems there are keystores which allow to read, store and use certificates
and private keys. For these systems GnuTLS provides the system-key API in @code{gnutls/system-keys.h}.
That API provides the ability to iterate through all stored keys, add and delete keys as well
as use these keys using a URL which starts with "system:". The format of the URLs is system-specific.
The @code{systemkey} tool is also provided to assist in listing keys and debugging.

The systems supported via this API are the following.
@itemize
@item Windows Cryptography API (CNG)
@end itemize

@showfuncdesc{gnutls_system_key_iter_get_info}

@showfuncC{gnutls_system_key_iter_deinit,gnutls_system_key_add_x509,gnutls_system_key_delete}

@subsection Application-specific keys
For systems where GnuTLS doesn't provide a system specific store,
it may often be desirable to define a custom class of keys
that are identified via URLs and available to GnuTLS calls such as @funcref{gnutls_certificate_set_x509_key_file2}.
Such keys can be registered using the API in @code{gnutls/urls.h}. The function
which registers such keys is @funcref{gnutls_register_custom_url}.

@showfuncdesc{gnutls_register_custom_url}

The input to this function are three callback functions as well as
the prefix of the URL, (e.g., "mypkcs11:") and the length of the prefix.
The types of the callbacks are shown below, and are expected to
use the exported gnutls functions to import the keys and certificates.
E.g., a typical @code{import_key} callback should use @funcref{gnutls_privkey_import_ext4}.

@example
typedef int (*gnutls_privkey_import_url_func)(gnutls_privkey_t pkey,
                                              const char *url,
                                              unsigned flags);

typedef int (*gnutls_x509_crt_import_url_func)(gnutls_x509_crt_t pkey,
                                               const char *url,
                                               unsigned flags);

/* The following callbacks are optional */

/* This is to enable gnutls_pubkey_import_url() */
typedef int (*gnutls_pubkey_import_url_func)(gnutls_pubkey_t pkey,
					     const char *url, unsigned flags);

/* This is to allow constructing a certificate chain. It will be provided
 * the initial certificate URL and the certificate to find its issuer, and must
 * return zero and the DER encoding of the issuer's certificate. If not available,
 * it should return GNUTLS_E_REQUESTED_DATA_NOT_AVAILABLE. */
typedef int (*gnutls_get_raw_issuer_func)(const char *url, gnutls_x509_crt_t crt,
					  gnutls_datum_t *issuer_der, unsigned flags);

typedef struct custom_url_st @{
        const char *name;
        unsigned name_size;
        gnutls_privkey_import_url_func import_key;
        gnutls_x509_crt_import_url_func import_crt;

@section Smart cards and HSMs
@cindex PKCS #11 tokens

@cindex hardware security modules
@cindex smart cards

In this section we present the smart-card and hardware security module (HSM) support 
in @acronym{GnuTLS} using @acronym{PKCS} #11 @xcite{PKCS11}. Hardware security
modules and smart cards provide a way to store private keys and perform
operations on them without exposing them. This decouples cryptographic
keys from the applications that use them and provide an additional 
security layer against cryptographic key extraction.
Since this can also be achieved in software components such as in Gnome keyring,
we will use the term security module to describe any cryptographic key 
separation subsystem.

@acronym{PKCS} #11 is plugin API allowing applications to access cryptographic
operations on a security module, as well as to objects residing on it. PKCS
#11 modules exist for hardware tokens such as smart cards@footnote{For example, OpenSC-supported cards.},
cryptographic tokens, as well as for software modules like @acronym{Gnome Keyring}. 
The objects residing on a security module may be certificates, public keys, 
private keys or secret keys. Of those certificates and public/private key 
pairs can be used with @acronym{GnuTLS}. PKCS #11's main advantage is that 
it allows operations on private key objects such as decryption
and signing without exposing the key. In GnuTLS the PKCS #11 functionality is
available in @code{gnutls/pkcs11.h}.

@node PKCS11 Initialization
@subsection Initialization
To allow all @acronym{GnuTLS} applications to transparently access smart cards
and tokens, @acronym{PKCS} #11 is automatically initialized during the first
call of a @acronym{PKCS} #11 related function, in a thread safe way.
The default initialization process, utilizes p11-kit configuration, and loads any
appropriate @acronym{PKCS} #11 modules. The p11-kit configuration
files@footnote{@url{https://p11-glue.github.io/p11-glue/p11-kit.html}} are typically stored in @code{/etc/pkcs11/modules/}.
For example a file that will instruct GnuTLS to load the @acronym{OpenSC} module,
could be named @code{/etc/pkcs11/modules/opensc.module} and contain the following:

@example
module: /usr/lib/opensc-pkcs11.so
@end example

If you use these configuration files, then there is no need for other initialization in
@acronym{GnuTLS}, except for the PIN and token callbacks (see next section).
In several cases, however, it is desirable to limit badly behaving modules
(e.g., modules that add an unacceptable delay on initialization)
to single applications. That can be done using the ``enable-in:'' option
followed by the base name of applications that this module should be used.

It is also possible to manually initialize or even disable the PKCS #11 subsystem if the 
default settings are not desirable or not available (see @ref{PKCS11 Manual Initialization}
for more information).

Note that, PKCS #11 modules behave in a peculiar way after a fork; they
require a reinitialization of all the used PKCS #11 resources.
While GnuTLS automates that process, there are corner cases where
it is not possible to handle it correctly in an automated way@footnote{For
example when an open session is to be reinitialized, but the PIN is not available
to GnuTLS (e.g., it was entered at a pinpad).}. For that, it is
recommended not to mix fork() and PKCS #11 module usage. It is recommended
to initialize and use any PKCS #11 resources in a single process.

Older versions of @acronym{GnuTLS} required to call @funcref{gnutls_pkcs11_reinit}
after a fork() call; since 3.3.0 this is no longer required.


@node PKCS11 Manual Initialization
@subsection Manual initialization of user-specific modules

In systems where one cannot rely on a globally available p11-kit configuration
to be available, it is still possible to utilize PKCS #11 objects. That
can be done by loading directly the PKCS #11 shared module in the
application using @funcref{gnutls_pkcs11_add_provider}, after having
called @funcref{gnutls_pkcs11_init} specifying the @code{GNUTLS_PKCS11_FLAG_MANUAL}
flag.

@showfuncdesc{gnutls_pkcs11_add_provider}

In that case, the application will only have access to the modules explicitly
loaded. If the @code{GNUTLS_PKCS11_FLAG_MANUAL} flag is specified and no calls
to @funcref{gnutls_pkcs11_add_provider} are made, then the PKCS #11 functionality
is effectively disabled.

@showfuncdesc{gnutls_pkcs11_init}


@node Accessing objects that require a PIN
@subsection Accessing objects that require a PIN

Objects stored in token such as a private keys are typically protected
from access by a PIN or password. This PIN may be required to either read
the object (if allowed) or to perform operations with it. To allow obtaining
the PIN when accessing a protected object, as well as probe
the user to insert the token the following functions allow to set a callback.

@showfuncD{gnutls_pkcs11_set_token_function,gnutls_pkcs11_set_pin_function,gnutls_pkcs11_add_provider,gnutls_pkcs11_get_pin_function}

The callback is of type @funcintref{gnutls_pin_callback_t} and will have as
input the provided userdata, the PIN attempt number, a URL describing the
token, a label describing the object and flags. The PIN must be at most 
of @code{pin_max} size and must be copied to pin variable. The function must
return 0 on success or a negative error code otherwise.

@verbatim
typedef int (*gnutls_pin_callback_t) (void *userdata, int attempt,
                                      const char *token_url,
                                      const char *token_label,
                                      unsigned int flags,
                                      char *pin, size_t pin_max);
@end verbatim

The flags are of @code{gnutls_pin_flag_t} type and are explained below.

@showenumdesc{gnutls_pin_flag_t,The @code{gnutls_pin_@-flag_t} enumeration.}

Note that due to limitations of @acronym{PKCS} #11 there are issues when multiple libraries 
are sharing a module. To avoid this problem GnuTLS uses @acronym{p11-kit}
that provides a middleware to control access to resources over the
multiple users.

To avoid conflicts with multiple registered callbacks for PIN functions,
@funcref{gnutls_pkcs11_get_pin_function} may be used to check for any previously
set functions. In addition context specific PIN functions are allowed, e.g., by
using functions below.

@showfuncE{gnutls_certificate_set_pin_function,gnutls_pubkey_set_pin_function,gnutls_privkey_set_pin_function,gnutls_pkcs11_obj_set_pin_function,gnutls_x509_crt_set_pin_function}

@node Reading objects
@subsection Reading objects

All @acronym{PKCS} #11 objects are referenced by @acronym{GnuTLS} functions by
URLs as described in @xcite{PKCS11URI}. 
This allows for a consistent naming of objects across systems and applications
in the same system. For example a public
key on a smart card may be referenced as:

@example
pkcs11:token=Nikos;serial=307521161601031;model=PKCS%2315; \
manufacturer=EnterSafe;object=test1;type=public;\
id=32f153f3e37990b08624141077ca5dec2d15faed
@end example

while the smart card itself can be referenced as:
@example
pkcs11:token=Nikos;serial=307521161601031;model=PKCS%2315;manufacturer=EnterSafe
@end example

Objects stored in a @acronym{PKCS} #11 token can typically be extracted
if they are not marked as sensitive. Usually only private keys are marked as
sensitive and cannot be extracted, while certificates and other data can
be retrieved. The functions that can be used to enumerate and access objects
are shown below.

@showfuncC{gnutls_pkcs11_obj_list_import_url4,gnutls_pkcs11_obj_import_url,gnutls_pkcs11_obj_export_url}

@showfuncdesc{gnutls_pkcs11_obj_get_info}

@showfuncC{gnutls_x509_crt_import_pkcs11,gnutls_x509_crt_import_url,gnutls_x509_crt_list_import_pkcs11}

Properties of the physical token can also be accessed and altered with @acronym{GnuTLS}.
For example data in a token can be erased (initialized), PIN can be altered, etc.

@showfuncE{gnutls_pkcs11_token_init,gnutls_pkcs11_token_get_url,gnutls_pkcs11_token_get_info,gnutls_pkcs11_token_get_flags,gnutls_pkcs11_token_set_pin}

The following examples demonstrate the usage of the API. The first example
will list all available PKCS #11 tokens in a system and the latter will
list all certificates in a token that have a corresponding private key.

@example
int i;
char* url;

gnutls_global_init();

for (i=0;;i++) 
  @{
    ret = gnutls_pkcs11_token_get_url(i, &url);
    if (ret == GNUTLS_E_REQUESTED_DATA_NOT_AVAILABLE)
      break;

    if (ret < 0)
      exit(1);
		
    fprintf(stdout, "Token[%d]: URL: %s\n", i, url);
    gnutls_free(url);
  @}
gnutls_global_deinit();
@end example

@verbatiminclude examples/ex-pkcs11-list.c

@node Writing objects
@subsection Writing objects

With @acronym{GnuTLS} you can copy existing private keys and certificates
to a token. Note that when copying private keys it is recommended to mark
them as sensitive using the @code{GNUTLS_@-PKCS11_OBJ_@-FLAG_@-MARK_@-SENSITIVE}
to prevent its extraction. An object can be marked as private using the flag 
@code{GNUTLS_@-PKCS11_OBJ_@-FLAG_@-MARK_@-PRIVATE}, to require PIN to be
entered before accessing the object (for operations or otherwise).

@showfuncdesc{gnutls_pkcs11_copy_x509_privkey2}

@showfuncdesc{gnutls_pkcs11_copy_x509_crt2}
@showfuncdesc{gnutls_pkcs11_delete_url}


@node PKCS11 Low Level Access
@subsection Low Level Access

When it is needed to use PKCS#11 functionality which is not wrapped by
GnuTLS, it is possible to extract the PKCS#11 session, object or token pointers.
That allows an application to still access the low-level functionality,
while at the same time take advantage of the URI addressing scheme supported
by GnuTLS.

@showfuncdesc{gnutls_pkcs11_token_get_ptr}
@showfuncdesc{gnutls_pkcs11_obj_get_ptr}


@node Using a PKCS11 token with TLS
@subsection Using a @acronym{PKCS} #11 token with TLS

It is possible to use a @acronym{PKCS} #11 token to a TLS
session, as shown in @ref{ex-pkcs11-client}. In addition
the following functions can be used to load PKCS #11 key and
certificates by specifying a PKCS #11 URL instead of a filename.

@showfuncB{gnutls_certificate_set_x509_trust_file,gnutls_certificate_set_x509_key_file2}


@node Verifying certificates over PKCS11
@subsection Verifying certificates over @acronym{PKCS} #11

The @acronym{PKCS} #11 API can be used to allow all applications in the
same operating system to access shared cryptographic keys and certificates in a
uniform way, as in @ref{fig-pkcs11-vision}. That way applications could load their
trusted certificate list, as well as user certificates from a common PKCS #11 module.
Such a provider is the p11-kit trust storage module@footnote{@url{https://p11-glue.github.io/p11-glue/trust-module.html}}
and it provides access to the trusted Root CA certificates in a system. That
provides a more dynamic list of Root CA certificates, as opposed to a static
list in a file or directory.

That store, allows for blacklisting of CAs or certificates, as well as
categorization of the Root CAs (Web verification, Code signing, etc.), in
addition to restricting their purpose via stapled extensions@footnote{See
the 'Restricting the scope of CA certificates' post at @url{https://nmav.gnutls.org/2016/06/restricting-scope-of-ca-certificates.html}}.
GnuTLS will utilize the p11-kit trust module as the default trust store
if configured to; i.e., if '--with-default-trust-store-pkcs11=pkcs11:' is given to 
the configure script.

@node Trusted Platform Module
@section Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
@cindex trusted platform module
@cindex TPM

In this section we present the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) support 
in @acronym{GnuTLS}. Note that we recommend against using TPM with this
API because it is restricted to TPM 1.2. We recommend instead
to use PKCS#11 wrappers for TPM such as CHAPS@footnote{@url{https://github.com/google/chaps-linux}} or opencryptoki@footnote{@url{https://sourceforge.net/projects/opencryptoki/}}.
These will allow using the standard smart card and HSM functionality (see @ref{Smart cards and HSMs}) for TPM keys.

There was a big hype when the TPM chip was introduced into 
computers. Briefly it is a co-processor in your PC that allows it to perform 
calculations independently of the main processor. This has good and bad 
side-effects. In this section we focus on the good ones; these are the fact that 
you can use the TPM chip to perform cryptographic operations on keys stored in it, without 
accessing them. That is very similar to the operation of a @acronym{PKCS} #11 smart card. 
The chip allows for storage and usage of RSA keys, but has quite some 
operational differences from @acronym{PKCS} #11 module, and thus require different handling. 
The basic TPM operations supported and used by GnuTLS, are key generation and signing. 
That support is currently limited to TPM 1.2.

The next sections assume that the TPM chip in the system is already initialized and
in a operational state. If not, ensure that the TPM chip is enabled by your BIOS,
that the @code{tcsd} daemon is running, and that TPM ownership is set
(by running @code{tpm_takeownership}).

In GnuTLS the TPM functionality is available in @code{gnutls/tpm.h}.

@node Keys in TPM
@subsection Keys in TPM

The RSA keys in the TPM module may either be stored in a flash memory
within TPM or stored in a file in disk. In the former case the key can
provide operations as with @acronym{PKCS} #11 and is identified by
a URL. The URL is described in @xcite{TPMURI} and is of the following form.
@verbatim
tpmkey:uuid=42309df8-d101-11e1-a89a-97bb33c23ad1;storage=user
@end verbatim

It consists from a unique identifier of the key as well as the part of the
flash memory the key is stored at. The two options for the storage field are
`user' and `system'. The user keys are typically only available to the generating
user and the system keys to all users. The stored in TPM keys are called
registered keys.

The keys that are stored in the disk are exported from the TPM but in an
encrypted form. To access them two passwords are required. The first is the TPM
Storage Root Key (SRK), and the other is a key-specific password. Also those keys are
identified by a URL of the form:
@verbatim

When objects require a PIN to be accessed the same callbacks as with PKCS #11
objects are expected (see @ref{Accessing objects that require a PIN}). Note
that the PIN function may be called multiple times to unlock the SRK and
the specific key in use. The label in the key function will then be set to
`SRK' when unlocking the SRK key, or to `TPM' when unlocking any other key.

@node Key generation
@subsection Key generation

All keys used by the TPM must be generated by the TPM. This can be
done using @funcref{gnutls_tpm_privkey_generate}.

@subsubheading Importing keys

The TPM keys can be used directly by the abstract key types and do not require
any special structures. Moreover functions like @funcref{gnutls_certificate_set_x509_key_file2}
can access TPM URLs.

@subsubheading Listing and deleting keys

The registered keys (that are stored in the TPM) can be listed using one of
the following functions. Those keys are unfortunately only identified by
their UUID and have no label or other human friendly identifier.
Keys can be deleted from permanent storage using @funcref{gnutls_tpm_privkey_delete}.

@showfuncC{gnutls_tpm_get_registered,gnutls_tpm_key_list_deinit,gnutls_tpm_key_list_get_url}
