PSKC encryption =============== .. module:: pskc.encryption Some of the information in PSKC files (e.g. key material) can be encrypted with either pre-shared keys, passphrase-based keys or asymmetric keys (asymmetric keys are currently unimplemented). Embedded PSKC encryption is handled inside the :class:`Encryption` class that defines encryption key or means of deriving keys. It is accessed from the :attr:`~pskc.PSKC.encryption` attribute of a :class:`~pskc.PSKC` instance:: >>> from binascii import a2b_hex >>> from pskc import PSKC >>> pskc = PSKC('somefile.pskcxml') >>> pskc.encryption.key = a2b_hex('12345678901234567890123456789012') or:: >>> pskc.encryption.derive_key('qwerty') Once the encryption key has been set up, any encrypted key values from the PSKC file are available transparently. If no key or an incorrect key has been configured, upon accessing encrypted information (e.g. the :attr:`~pskc.key.Key.secret` attribute of a :class:`~pskc.key.Key` instance) a :exc:`~pskc.exceptions.DecryptionError` exception will be raised. When writing out a PSKC file, encryption can be configured with the :func:`~pskc.encryption.Encryption.setup_preshared_key()` or :func:`~pskc.encryption.Encryption.setup_pbkdf2()` function:: >>> from pskc import PSKC >>> pskc = PSKC() >>> pskc.encryption.setup_preshared_key(algorithm='AES256-CBC') or:: >>> pskc.encryption.setup_pbkdf2(password='verysecure') The Encryption class -------------------- .. class:: Encryption .. attribute:: id Optional identifier of the encryption key. .. attribute:: algorithm A URI of the encryption algorithm used. Setting a value for this attribute will result in an attempt to use the canonical URI for this algorithm. For instance setting a `3DES-CBC` value will automatically be converted to `http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#aes128-cbc`. .. attribute:: key_names List of names provided for the encryption key. .. attribute:: key_name Since usually only one name is defined for a key but the schema allows for multiple names, this is a shortcut for accessing the first value of :attr:`key_names`. It will return ``None`` if no name is available. .. attribute:: key The binary value of the encryption key. In the case of pre-shared keys this value should be set before trying to access encrypted information in the PSKC file. When using key derivation the secret key is available in this attribute after calling :func:`derive_key`. .. function:: derive_key(password) Derive a key from the supplied password and information in the PSKC file (generally algorithm, salt, etc.). This function may raise a :exc:`~pskc.exceptions.KeyDerivationError` exception if key derivation fails for some reason. .. attribute:: fields A list of :class:`~pskc.key.Key` instance field names that will be encrypted when the PSKC file is written. List values can contain ``secret``, ``counter``, ``time_offset``, ``time_interval`` and ``time_drift``. .. function:: setup_preshared_key(...) Configure pre-shared key encryption when writing the file. :param binary key: the encryption key to use :param str id: encryption key identifier :param str algorithm: encryption algorithm :param int key_length: encryption key length in bytes :param str key_name: a name for the key :param list key_names: a number of names for the key :param list fields: a list of fields to encrypt This is a utility function to easily set up encryption. Encryption can also be set up by manually by setting the :class:`~pskc.encryption.Encryption` properties. This method will generate a key if required and set the passed values. By default AES128-CBC encryption will be configured and unless a key is specified one of the correct length will be generated. If the algorithm does not provide integrity checks (e.g. CBC-mode algorithms) integrity checking in the PSKC file will be set up using :func:`~pskc.mac.MAC.setup()`. By default only the :attr:`~pskc.key.Key.secret` property will be encrypted when writing the file. .. function:: setup_pbkdf2(...) Configure password-based PSKC encryption when writing the file. :param str password: the password to use (required) :param str id: encryption key identifier :param str algorithm: encryption algorithm :param int key_length: encryption key length in bytes :param str key_name: a name for the key :param list key_names: a number of names for the key :param list fields: a list of fields to encrypt :param binary salt: PBKDF2 salt :param int salt_length: used when generating random salt :param int iterations: number of PBKDF2 iterations :param function prf: PBKDF2 pseudorandom function Defaults for the above parameters are similar to those for :func:`setup_preshared_key()` but the password parameter is required. By default 12000 iterations will be used and a random salt with the length of the to-be-generated encryption key will be used.
