Class AuthenticatedSafe

java.lang.Object

iaik.pkcs.pkcs12.AuthenticatedSafe

All Implemented Interfaces:

ASN1Type

public class AuthenticatedSafe
extends java.lang.Object
implements ASN1Type

This class implements the ASN.1 structure AuthenticatedSafe as defined in the PKCS#12 standard.

An AuthenticatedSafe object represents a PKCS#7 ContentInfo struture whose content type is either Data, EncryptedData, or EnvelopedData, depending on whether the supplied PKCS#12 SafeContents structure has to be ...

• ... left cryptographic "unprocessed" (mode UNENCRYPTED)
• ... password-based encrypted (mode PASSWORD_ENCRYPTED, password-privacy mode)
• ... public-key encrypted (mode PUBLIC_KEY_ENCRYPTED, public-key privacy mode)

This class does not support the public-key privacy mode!

The supplied SafeContents object consists of a sequence of SafaBags. A SafeBag represents one basic building block of a PFX PDU by collecting one particular piece of information (a key, a certificate, ...) together with some optional attributes. Currently, IAIK-JCE supports the three safe bag types keyBag, pkcs-8ShroudedKeyBag, and certBag.

All AuthenticatedSafe objects created as instances of this class are collected to form an AuthenticatedSafes object, which is DER encoded to give the content of a ContentInfo object of type Data. If password-integrity mode is chosen, the final PFX PDU is created by computing a SHA-1 HMAC on the contents of this Data object, but if public-key integrity mode is chosen, the Data from the previuos step is digitally signed by creating a SignedData ContentInfo structure:

 PFX ::= SEQUENCE {
   version     Version    -- V3(3) for this version.
   authSafes   ContentInfo,    -- from PKCS #7 v1.5
               -- SignedData in public-key integrity mode
               -- Data in password integrity mode
   macData     MacData OPTIONAL
               -- present only in password integrity mode
 }
 

For more information consult the PKCS#12 Personal Information Exchange Syntax Standard specification of the RSA Laboratories.

When creating a new AuthenticatedSafe object from a sequence of safe bags (constituting a SafeContents structure), you have to specify if the Data shall be left unencrypted, or if it shall be password-encrypted (remember that public-key privacy mode is not supported), e.g.:

 SafeBag[] safeBags = ...;
  ...
 AuthenticatedSafe authenticatedSafe = null;
 authenticatedSafe = new AuthenticatedSafe(AuthenticatedSafe.UNENCRYPTED, safeBags);
 

respectively:

 SafeBag[] safeBags = ...;
  ...
 AuthenticatedSafe authenticatedSafe = null;
 authenticatedSafe = new AuthenticatedSafe(AuthenticatedSafe.PASSWORD_ENCRYPTED, safeBags);

Constructor Detail

AuthenticatedSafe

public AuthenticatedSafe(int mode,
                 SafeBag[] safeBags)
                  throws PKCSException

Creates a new AuthenticatedSafe containing the given SafeBags with the desired mode.

Depending on the specified privacy mode either a ContentInfo object of content type Data (mode UNENCRYPTED), or of content type EncryptedData is created from the supplied safe bags. The public-key privacy mode (PUBLIC_KEY_ENCRYPTED) currently is not supported.

Parameters:

mode - the privacy mode (UNENCRYPTED, PASSWORD_ENCRYPTED, PUBLIC_KEY_ENCRYPTED)

safeBags - the safe contents as an Array of SafeBags

Throws:

PKCSException - if the AutenticatedSafe can not be created for some reason (e.g. some unknown or unsupported mode is requested)

AuthenticatedSafe

public AuthenticatedSafe(int mode,
                 SafeBag[] safeBags,
                 int blockSize)
                  throws PKCSException

Creates a new AuthenticatedSafe containing the given SafeBags with the desired mode.

Depending on the specified privacy mode either a ContentInfo object of content type Data (mode UNENCRYPTED), or of content type EncryptedData is created from the supplied safe bags. The public-key privacy mode (PUBLIC_KEY_ENCRYPTED) currently is not supported.

Parameters:

mode - the privacy mode (UNENCRYPTED, PASSWORD_ENCRYPTED, PUBLIC_KEY_ENCRYPTED)

safeBags - the safe contents as an Array of SafeBags

blockSize - the blockSize to be used for Data encoding (default: 1024 for indefinite constructed OCTET_STRING encoding; if not positive, definite primitive encoding will be used)

Throws:

PKCSException - if the AutenticatedSafe can not be created for some reason (e.g. some unknown or unsupported mode is requested)

AuthenticatedSafe

public AuthenticatedSafe(ASN1Object obj)
                  throws PKCSParsingException

Creates a new AuthenticatedSafe object from an ASN1Object.

Do not use this constructor for supplying safe bags and setting the privacy mode. This constructor may be used for parsing an already existing AuthenticatedSafe object, supplied as ASN1Object that may have been created by calling toASN1Object.

Use the AuthenticatedSafe(int asMode, SafeBag[] safeBags) constructor for supplying safe bags and setting privacy mode when creating an AuthenticatedSafe object.

Parameters:

obj - a AuthenticatedSafe as ASN1Object

Throws:

PKCSParsingException - if the object could not be parsed

Method Detail

decode

public void decode(ASN1Object obj)
            throws CodingException

Decode and inits this AuthenticatedSafe from an ASN1Object.

This method implements the ASN1Type interface and internally is called when creating a PKCS#12 AuthenticatedSafe object from an already existing AuthenticatedSafe object, supplied as ASN1Object:

Specified by:

decode in interface ASN1Type

Parameters:

obj - an AuthenticatedSafe as ASN1Object

Throws:

CodingException - if the object could not be parsed

toASN1Object

public ASN1Object toASN1Object()
                        throws CodingException

Returns this AuthenticatedSafe as ASN1Object.

The ASN1Object returned by this method may be used as parameter value when creating an AuthenticatedSafe object using the AuthenticatedSafe(ASN1Object obj) constructor.

Specified by:

toASN1Object in interface ASN1Type

Returns:

this AuthenticatedSafe as ASN1Object

Throws:

CodingException - if there occurs an error while creating the ASN1Object

encrypt

public void encrypt(char[] password,
           AlgorithmID algorithm)
             throws java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException,
                    PKCSException

Password-based encrypts the Data containing the sequence of safe bags included in this AuthenticatedSafe, if the PASSWORD_ENCRYPTED mode has been set when creating this AuthenticatedSafe object.

The general proceeding is described in the PKCS#12 specification of the RSA Laboratories. From the safe bags supplied when creating this AuthenticatedSafe object, a PKCS#7 ContentInfo object of content type Data has been constructed, whose DER encoding is password-based encrypted when calling this method. Currently only the PbeWithSHAAnd40BitRC2_CBC and PbeWithSHAAnd3_KeyTripleDES_CBC algorithma can be used for encyrpting the data, based on a PBEKeyBMP key which is created from the supplied password.

If the UNENCRYPTED mode has been set when creating this AuthenticatedSafe object, a call to this method would not have any effect; if the PUBLIC_KEY_ENCRYPTED mode has been set, calling this method would raise a RuntimeException, since the public-key privacy mode is not supported.

Parameters:

password - the password to encrypt the contents

algorithm - the PBE algorithm to be used for encryption; currently only the PbeWithSHAAnd40BitRC2_CBC and PbeWithSHAAnd3_KeyTripleDES_CBC algorithms are supported

Throws:

java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException - if there is no implementation of the requested algorithm

PKCSException - if the encryption process fails for some reason (e.g. the privacy mode that has been set when creating this AuthenticatedSafe object is not supported

See Also:

PBEKeyBMP

decrypt

public void decrypt(char[] password)
             throws PKCSException,
                    java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException

Uses the given password for decrypting the password-based encrypted contents of this AuthenticatedSafe to recover the safe bags constituting this AuthenticatedSafe object.

Password based decryption only is performed, if the PASSWORD_ENCRYPTED privacy mode has been set when creating this AuthenticatedSafe object. If the UNENCRYPTED mode has been set, a call to this method would not have any effect; if the PUBLIC_KEY_ENCRYPTED mode has been set, calling this method would raise a RuntimeException, since the public-key privacy mode is not supported.

Parameters:

password - the password to decrypt the contents

Throws:

PKCSException - if there occurs an error while decrypting

java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException - if there is no implementation of the encryption algorithm

getSafeBags

Returns:

the SafeBags this AuthenticatedSafe contains, as array of SafeBag
