2014-09-16KEYS: Overhaul key identification when searching for asymmetric keysDavid Howells
Make use of the new match string preparsing to overhaul key identification when searching for asymmetric keys. The following changes are made: (1) Use the previously created asymmetric_key_id struct to hold the following key IDs derived from the X.509 certificate or PKCS#7 message: id: serial number + issuer skid: subjKeyId + subject authority: authKeyId + issuer (2) Replace the hex fingerprint attached to key->type_data[1] with an asymmetric_key_ids struct containing the id and the skid (if present). (3) Make the asymmetric_type match data preparse select one of two searches: (a) An iterative search for the key ID given if prefixed with "id:". The prefix is expected to be followed by a hex string giving the ID to search for. The criterion key ID is checked against all key IDs recorded on the key. (b) A direct search if the key ID is not prefixed with "id:". This will look for an exact match on the key description. (4) Make x509_request_asymmetric_key() take a key ID. This is then converted into "id:<hex>" and passed into keyring_search() where match preparsing will turn it back into a binary ID. (5) X.509 certificate verification then takes the authority key ID and looks up a key that matches it to find the public key for the certificate signature. (6) PKCS#7 certificate verification then takes the id key ID and looks up a key that matches it to find the public key for the signed information block signature. Additional changes: (1) Multiple subjKeyId and authKeyId values on an X.509 certificate cause the cert to be rejected with -EBADMSG. (2) The 'fingerprint' ID is gone. This was primarily intended to convey PGP public key fingerprints. If PGP is supported in future, this should generate a key ID that carries the fingerprint. (3) Th ca_keyid= kernel command line option is now converted to a key ID and used to match the authority key ID. Possibly this should only match the actual authKeyId part and not the issuer as well.

2014-09-16KEYS: Implement binary asymmetric key ID handlingDavid Howells
Implement the first step in using binary key IDs for asymmetric keys rather than hex string keys. The previously added match data preparsing will be able to convert hex criterion strings into binary which can then be compared more rapidly. Further, we actually want more then one ID string per public key. The problem is that X.509 certs refer to other X.509 certs by matching Issuer + AuthKeyId to Subject + SubjKeyId, but PKCS#7 messages match against X.509 Issuer + SerialNumber. This patch just provides facilities for a later patch to make use of. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Acked-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com>
2014-07-17KEYS: make partial key id matching as a dedicated functionDmitry Kasatkin
To avoid code duplication this patch refactors asymmetric_key_match(), making partial ID string match a separate function. This patch also implicitly fixes a bug in the code. asymmetric_key_match() allows to match the key by its subtype. But subtype matching could be undone if asymmetric_key_id(key) would return NULL. This patch first checks for matching spec and then for its value. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Kasatkin <d.kasatkin@samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar <zohar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2012-10-08KEYS: Implement asymmetric key typeDavid Howells
Create a key type that can be used to represent an asymmetric key type for use in appropriate cryptographic operations, such as encryption, decryption, signature generation and signature verification. The key type is "asymmetric" and can provide access to a variety of cryptographic algorithms. Possibly, this would be better as "public_key" - but that has the disadvantage that "public key" is an overloaded term.
