Class Session

java.lang.Object

org.xipki.pkcs11.wrapper.Session

public class Session
extends Object

Session objects are used to perform cryptographic operations on a token. The application gets a Session object by calling openSession on a certain Token object. Having the session object, the application may login the user, if required.

 
   TokenInfo tokenInfo = token.getTokenInfo();
   // check, if login of the user is required at all
   if (tokenInfo.isLoginRequired()) {
     // check, if the token has own means to authenticate the user; e.g. a PIN-pad on the reader
     if (tokenInfo.isProtectedAuthenticationPath()) {
       System.out.println("Please enter the user PIN at the PIN-pad of your reader.");
       session.login(CKU_USER, null); // the token prompts the PIN by other means; e.g. PIN-pad
     } else {
       System.out.print("Enter user-PIN and press [return key]: ");
       System.out.flush();
       BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
       String userPINString = input.readLine();
       session.login(CKU_USER, userPINString.toCharArray());
     }
   }
 
 

If the application does not need the session any longer, it should close the session.

 
   session.closeSession();

createObject

public long createObject(AttributeVector template)
                  throws PKCS11Exception

Create a new object on the token (or in the session). The application must provide a template that holds enough information to create a certain object. For instance, if the application wants to create a new DES key object it creates a new instance of the AttributesTemplate class to serve as a template. The application must set all attributes of this new object which are required for the creation of such an object on the token. Then it passes this DESSecretKey object to this method to create the object on the token. Example: AttributesTemplate desKeyTemplate = AttributesTemplate.newSecretKey(CKK_DES3); // the key type is set by the DESSecretKey's constructor, so you need not do it desKeyTemplate.value(myDesKeyValueAs8BytesLongByteArray) .token(true) .private(true); .encrypt(true); .decrypt(true); ... long theCreatedDESKeyObjectHandle = userSession.createObject(desKeyTemplate); Refer to the PKCS#11 standard to find out what attributes must be set for certain types of objects to create them on the token.

Parameters:

template - The template object that holds all values that the new object on the token should contain.

Returns:

A new PKCS#11 Object that serves holds all the (readable) attributes of the object on the token. In contrast to the templateObject, this object might have certain attributes set to token-dependent default-values.

Throws:

PKCS11Exception - If the creation of the new object fails. If it fails, the no new object was created on the token.

createPrivateKeyObject

public long createPrivateKeyObject(AttributeVector template,
                                   PublicKey publicKey)
                            throws PKCS11Exception

Throws:

PKCS11Exception

createECPrivateKeyObject

public long createECPrivateKeyObject(AttributeVector template,
                                     byte[] ecPoint)
                              throws PKCS11Exception

Create EC private key object in the PKCS#11 device.

Parameters:

template - Template of the EC private key.

ecPoint - The encoded EC-Point. May be null.

Returns:

object handle of the new EC private key.

Throws:

PKCS11Exception - If creating the object fails for some reason.

copyObject

public long copyObject(long sourceObjectHandle,
                       AttributeVector template)
                throws PKCS11Exception

Copy an existing object. The source object and a template object are given. Any value set in the template object will override the corresponding value from the source object, when the new object is created. See the PKCS#11 standard for details.

Parameters:

sourceObjectHandle - The source object of the copy operation.

template - A template object whose attribute values are used for the new object; i.e. they have higher priority than the attribute values from the source object. May be null; in that case the new object is just a one-to-one copy of the sourceObject.

Returns:

The new object that is created by copying the source object and setting attributes to the values given by the template.

Throws:

PKCS11Exception - If copying the object fails for some reason.

setAttributeValues

public void setAttributeValues(long objectToUpdateHandle,
                               AttributeVector template)
                        throws PKCS11Exception

Gets all present attributes of the given template object and writes them to the object to update on the token (or in the session). Both parameters may refer to the same Java object. This is possible, because this method only needs the object handle of the objectToUpdate, and gets the attributes to set from the template. This means, an application can get the object using createObject of findObject, then modify attributes of this Java object and then call this method passing this object as both parameters. This will update the object on the token to the values as modified in the Java object.

Parameters:

objectToUpdateHandle - The attributes of this object get updated.

template - Gets all present attributes of this template object and sets this attributes at the objectToUpdate.

Throws:

PKCS11Exception - If updating the attributes fails. All or no attributes are updated.

destroyObject

public void destroyObject(long objectHandle)
                   throws PKCS11Exception

Destroy a certain object on the token (or in the session). Give the object that you want to destroy. This method uses only the internal object handle of the given object to identify the object.

Parameters:

objectHandle - The object handle that should be destroyed.

Throws:

PKCS11Exception - If the object could not be destroyed.

getObjectSize

public long getObjectSize(long objectHandle)
                   throws PKCS11Exception

Get the size of the specified object in bytes. This size specifies how much memory the object takes up on the token.

Parameters:

objectHandle - The object to get the size for.

Returns:

The object's size bytes.

Throws:

PKCS11Exception - If determining the size fails.

findObjectsInit

public void findObjectsInit(AttributeVector template)
                     throws PKCS11Exception

Initializes a find operations that provides means to find objects by passing a template object. This method get all set attributes of the template object and searches for all objects on the token that match with these attributes.

Parameters:

template - The object that serves as a template for searching. If this object is null, the find operation will find all objects that this session can see. Notice, that only a user session will see private objects.

Throws:

PKCS11Exception - If initializing the find operation fails.

findObjects

public long[] findObjects(int maxObjectCount)
                   throws PKCS11Exception

Finds objects that match the template object passed to findObjectsInit. The application must call findObjectsInit before calling this method. With maxObjectCount the application can specify how many objects to return at once; i.e. the application can get all found objects by subsequent calls to this method like maxObjectCount(1) until it receives an empty array (this method never returns null!).

Parameters:

maxObjectCount - Specifies how many objects to return with this call.

Returns:

An array of found objects. The maximum size of this array is maxObjectCount, the minimum length is 0. Never returns null.

Throws:

PKCS11Exception - A plain PKCS11Exception if something during PKCS11 FindObject went wrong, a PKCS11Exception with a nested PKCS11Exception if the Exception is raised during object parsing.

findObjectsFinal

public void encryptInit(Mechanism mechanism,
                        long keyHandle)
                 throws PKCS11Exception

Initializes a new encryption operation. The application must call this method before calling any other encrypt* operation. Before initializing a new operation, any currently pending operation must be finalized using the appropriate *Final method (e.g. digestFinal()). There are exceptions for dual-function operations. This method requires the mechanism to use for encryption and the key for this operation. The key must have set its encryption flag. For the mechanism the application may use a constant defined in the Mechanism class. Notice that the key and the mechanism must be compatible; i.e. you cannot use a DES key with the RSA mechanism.

Parameters:

mechanism - The mechanism to use; e.g. Mechanism.DES_CBC.

keyHandle - The decryption key to use.

Throws:

PKCS11Exception - If initializing this operation failed.

encrypt

public byte[] encrypt(byte[] plaintext)
               throws PKCS11Exception

Encrypts the given data with the key and mechanism given to the encryptInit method. This method finalizes the current encryption operation; i.e. the application need (and should) not call encryptFinal() after this call. For encrypting multiple pieces of data use encryptUpdate and encryptFinal.

Parameters:

plaintext - the to-be-encrypted data

Returns:

the encrypted data. Never returns null.

Throws:

PKCS11Exception - If encrypting failed.

encryptSingle

public byte[] encryptSingle(Mechanism mechanism,
                            long keyHandle,
                            byte[] plaintext)
                     throws PKCS11Exception

Throws:

PKCS11Exception

encryptUpdate

public byte[] encryptUpdate(byte[] plaintextPat)
                     throws PKCS11Exception

This method can be used to encrypt multiple pieces of data; e.g. buffer-size pieces when reading the data from a stream. Encrypts the given data with the key and mechanism given to the encryptInit method. The application must call encryptFinal to get the final result of the encryption after feeding in all data using this method.

Parameters:

plaintextPat - Piece of the to-be-encrypted data

Returns:

the encrypted data for this update. Never returns null.

Throws:

PKCS11Exception - If encrypting the data failed.

encryptFinal

public byte[] encryptFinal()
                    throws PKCS11Exception

This method finalizes an encryption operation and returns the final result. Use this method, if you fed in the data using encryptUpdate. If you used the encrypt(byte[]) method, you need not (and shall not) call this method, because encrypt(byte[]) finalizes the encryption itself.

Returns:

the last part of the encrypted data. Never returns null.

Throws:

PKCS11Exception - If calculating the final result failed.

messageEncryptInit

public void messageEncryptInit(Mechanism mechanism,
                               long keyHandle)
                        throws PKCS11Exception

Initializes a new message encryption operation. The application must call this method before calling any other encryptMessage* operation. Before initializing a new operation, any currently pending operation must be finalized using the appropriate *Final method (e.g. digestFinal()). There are exceptions for dual-function operations. This method requires the mechanism to use for encryption and the key for this operation. The key must have set its encryption flag. For the mechanism the application may use a constant defined in the Mechanism class. Notice that the key and the mechanism must be compatible; i.e. you cannot use a DES key with the RSA mechanism.

Parameters:

mechanism - The mechanism to use; e.g. Mechanism.DES_CBC.

keyHandle - The decryption key to use.

Throws:

PKCS11Exception - If initializing this operation failed.

               throws PKCS11Exception

Derives a new key from a specified base key using the given mechanism. After deriving a new key from the base key, a new key object is created and a representation of it is returned. The application can provide a template key to set certain attributes of the new key object.

Parameters:

mechanism - The mechanism to use for deriving the new key from the base key.

baseKeyHandle - The key to use as base for derivation.

template - The template for creating the new key object.

Returns:

A key object representing the newly derived (created) key object or null, if the used mechanism uses other means to return its values; e.g. the CKM_SSL3_KEY_AND_MAC_DERIVE mechanism.

Throws:

PKCS11Exception - If deriving the key or creating a new key object failed.

seedRandom

public void seedRandom(byte[] seed)
