[PATCH 05/16] KEYS: Create a key type that can be used for general cryptographic operations [ver #2]

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Create a key type that can be used for general cryptographic operations, such
as encryption, decryption, signature generation and signature verification.

The key type is "crypto" and can provide access to a variety of cryptographic
algorithms.

+  - Crypto subtypes.
+  - Accessing crypto keys.
+  - Implementing crypto subtypes.
+
+
+========
+OVERVIEW
+========
+
+The "crypto" key type is designed to be a container for cryptographic keys,
+without imposing any particular restrictions on the form of the cryptography or
+the key.
+
+The crypto key is given a subtype that defines what sort of data is associated
+with the key and what operations might be performed with it.  However, no
+requirement is made that the key data actually be loaded into the key or that
+the operations are done by the kernel.
+
+For instance, cryptographic hardware (such as a TPM) might be used to both
+retain the relevant key and provide operations using that key.  In such a case,
+the crypto key would then merely be an interface to the TPM driver.
+
+
+==================
+KEY IDENTIFICATION
+==================
+
+Because the identity of a key is not necessarily known or is not easily
+calculated when a crypto key is allocated, it may not be a simple matter to set
+a key description to something that's useful for determining whether this is
+the key you're looking for.  Furthermore, it may be necessary to perform a
+partial match upon the key identity.
+
+To help with this, when a key is loaded, the key subtype's instantiation
+routine calculates the key fingerprint and stores a copy in the key struct.
+
+The crypto key type's key matching function then performs more checks than just
+the straightforward comparison of the description with the criterion string:
+
+ (1) If the criterion string is of the form "id:<hexdigits>" then the match
+     function will examine a key's fingerprint to see if the hex digits given
+     after the "id:" match the tail.  For instance:
+
+	keyctl search @s crypto id:5acc2142
+
+     will match a key with fingerprint:
+
+	1A00 2040 7601 7889 DE11  882C 3823 04AD 5ACC 2142
+
+ (2) If the criterion string is of the form "<subtype>:<hexdigits>" then the
+     match will match the ID as in (1), but with the added restriction that
+     only keys of the specified subtype (e.g. dsa or rsa) will be matched.  For
+     instance:
+
+	keyctl search @s crypto dsa:5acc2142
+
+Looking in /proc/keys, the last 8 hex digits of the key fingerprint are
+displayed, along with the subtype:
+
+	1a39e171 I-----     1 perm 3f010000     0     0 crypto    modsign.0: dsa 5acc2142 []
+
+
+===============
+CRYPTO SUBTYPES
+===============
+
+The crypto key is just a simple container.  It contains no data of its own and
+does very little except provide a place to hang a function pointer table.  The
+key subtype does the actual work.
+
+When a crypto key is instantiated, it looks through its list of registered
+subtypes to try and find one that can handle the data blob it is given.  If the
+data blob begins with a byte with the top bit set, it is assumed to be a PGP
+packet format blob [RFC 4880] and is treated so.  The blob is parsed to find a
+PGP key, and then a subtype is looked for that says it can handle the
+appropriate algorithm type.
+
+
+=====================
+ACCESSING CRYPTO KEYS
+=====================
+
+To access crypto keys from within the kernel, the following inclusion is
+required:
+
+	#include <keys/crypto-type.h>
+
+This gives access to the key type:
+
+	struct key_type key_type_crypto;
+
+
+============================
+IMPLEMENTING CRYPTO SUBTYPES
+============================
+
+If a suitable subtype is found, then key->type_data.p[0] is set to point to the
+subtype definition and the module usage count is incremented.
+
+The subtype definition structure looks like the following:
+
+	struct crypto_key_subtype {
+		struct module		*owner;
+		const char		*name;
+		enum pgp_pubkey_algo	pubkey_algo : 8;
+		unsigned short		info;
+
+		int (*instantiate)(struct key *key,
+				   const void *data, size_t datalen);
+
+		void (*revoke)(struct key *key);
+		void (*destroy)(struct key *key);
+	};
+
+The owner and name fields should be set to the owning module and the name of
+the subtype.
+
+If the subtype represents a PGP public key algorithm the info field should have
+CRYPTO_KEY_IS_PUBKEY_ALGO OR'd into it and pubkey_algo should be set to the
+appropriate PGP_PUBKEY_ constant from the enumeration in <linux/pgp.h>.
+
+
+There are a number of operations defined by the subtype.  The first few are for
+management of the key itself:
+
+ (1) instantiate().
+
+     Mandatory.  When the subtype is selected, the instantiate() method will be
+     given the key being instantiated and the data blob.  If the first byte of
+     the data blob has bit 7 set, then it's a PGP packet blob and can be parsed
+     with the routines declared in <linux/pgp.h>.
+
+     If the key has a fingerprint or other auxiliary identifier, this should be
+     determined or calculated and a copy attached to key->type_data.p[1].
+
+     If successful, the subtype must set key->type_data.p[0] to point to its
+     definition.
+
+     The subtype may use key->payload in anyway it sees fit.
+
+ (2) revoke().
+
+     Optional.  Notification that the key has been revoked.  This provides the
+     subtype the opportunity to discard some memory, but care should be taken
+     as the key may be in use when this is called.
+
+ (3) destroy().
+
+     Mandatory.  key->type_data.p[0] is cleared by the caller and the module
+     usage will be decremented upon return.  The memory pointed to by
+     key->type_data.[1] will be freed after this method returns.  This method
+     must free whatever key->payload refers to.
+
+
+Functions are provided to register and unregister key subtypes:
+
+	int register_crypto_key_subtype(struct crypto_key_subtype *subtype);
+	void unregister_crypto_key_subtype(struct crypto_key_subtype *subtype);
+
+Key subtypes may have the same name, provided they differ in some other
+criterion, such as the public key algorithm ID.  This makes it possible to
+handle algorithms such as RSA that have multiple algorithm IDs.
