Basic usage =========== The :mod:`pskc` module implements a simple and efficient API for parsing and creating PSKC files. The :class:`~pskc.PSKC` class is used to access the file as a whole which provides access to a list of :class:`~pskc.device.Device` and :class:`~pskc.key.Key` instances which contain most of the useful information of the PSKC file. Reading a PSKC file ------------------- Importing data from a PSKC file can be done by instantiating the :class:`~pskc.PSKC` class with a file name argument:: >>> from pskc import PSKC >>> pskc = PSKC('somefile.pskcxml') >>> pskc.version '1.0' The :attr:`~pskc.PSKC.keys` attribute contains a list of keys in the PSKC file. :class:`~pskc.key.Key` instances have a number of attributes that provide information on the transmitted keys:: >>> key = pskc.keys[0] >>> key.id 'some-id' >>> key.algorithm 'urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:keyprov:pskc:hotp' >>> key.secret 'SOME_SECRET_VALUE' Attribute values will be ``None`` if it the value is not present in the PSKC file. The :attr:`~pskc.key.Key.secret`, :attr:`~pskc.key.Key.counter`, :attr:`~pskc.key.Key.time_offset`, :attr:`~pskc.key.Key.time_interval` or :attr:`~pskc.key.Key.time_drift` attributes may be stored in encrypted form in the PSKC file. Decryption of these properties is done when they are accessed. If decryption is unsuccessful a :exc:`~pskc.exceptions.DecryptionError` exception is raised. See :doc:`encryption` for more information. Writing a PSKC file ------------------- Creating a PSKC file can be done by creating a :class:`~pskc.PSKC` instance, adding keys with :func:`~pskc.PSKC.add_key()` and writing the result:: >>> from pskc import PSKC >>> pskc = PSKC() >>> key = pskc.add_key( ... id='456', secret='987654321', manufacturer='Manufacturer', ... algorithm = 'urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:keyprov:pskc:hotp') >>> pskc.write('output.pskcxml') By default an unencrypted PSKC file will be created but an encryption can be configured using the :func:`~pskc.encryption.Encryption.setup_preshared_key()` or :func:`~pskc.encryption.Encryption.setup_pbkdf2()` function. The PSKC class -------------- .. module:: pskc .. class:: PSKC([filename]) The :class:`PSKC` class is used as a wrapper to access information from a PSKC file. The `filename` argument can be either the name of a file or a file-like object. The whole file is parsed in one go. If parsing the PSKC file fails, a :exc:`~pskc.exceptions.ParseError` exception is raised. If no argument is provided, an instance without any keys is created. Instances of this class provide the following attributes and functions: .. attribute:: version The PSKC format version used. Only version ``1.0`` is currently specified in `RFC 6030 `__ and supported. .. attribute:: id A unique identifier for the container. .. attribute:: devices A list of :class:`~pskc.device.Device` instances that represent the key containers within the PSKC file. .. attribute:: keys A list of :class:`~pskc.key.Key` instances that represent the keys within the PSKC file. .. attribute:: encryption :class:`~pskc.encryption.Encryption` instance that handles PSKC file encryption. See :doc:`encryption` for more information. .. attribute:: mac :class:`~pskc.mac.MAC` instance for handling integrity checking. See :doc:`mac` for more information. .. attribute:: signature :class:`~pskc.signature.Signature` instance for handling embedded XML signatures in the file. See :doc:`signatures` for more information. .. function:: add_device([**kwargs]) Add a new key package to the PSKC instance. The keyword arguments may refer to any attributes of the :class:`~pskc.device.Device` class with which the new device is initialised. .. function:: add_key([**kwargs]) Add a new key to the PSKC instance. The keyword arguments may refer to any attributes of the :class:`~pskc.key.Key` or :class:`~pskc.device.Device` class with which the new key is initialised. .. function:: write(filename) Write the PSKC object to the provided file. The `filename` argument can be either the name of a file or a file-like object. The Key class ------------- .. module:: pskc.key .. class:: Key() Instances of this class provide the following attributes and functions: .. attribute:: id A unique identifier for the key. If there are multiple interactions with the same key in multiple instances of PSKC files the `id` is supposed to remain the same. .. attribute:: algorithm A URI that identifies the PSKC algorithm profile. The algorithm profile associates specific semantics to the key. Some `known profiles `__ are: +------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | URI | Purpose | +================================================+=============================================================================================================================+ | ``urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:keyprov:pskc:pin`` | `Symmetric static credential comparison `_ | +------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | ``urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:keyprov:pskc:hotp`` | `OATH event-based OTP `_ | +------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | ``urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:keyprov:pskc#totp`` | `OATH time-based OTP `_ | | ``urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:keyprov:pskc:totp`` | | +------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | ``urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:keyprov:pskc#OCRA-1`` | `OATH challenge-response algorithm `_ | +------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ .. attribute:: secret The binary value of the transported secret key. If the key information is encrypted in the PSKC file it is transparently decrypted if possible. Accessing the value may raise :exc:`~pskc.exceptions.DecryptionError` if decryption fails. .. attribute:: counter The event counter (integer) for event-based OTP algorithms. Will also be transparently decrypted and may also raise :exc:`~pskc.exceptions.DecryptionError`. .. attribute:: time_offset The time offset (integer) for time-based OTP algorithms. If time intervals are used it carries the number of time intervals passed from an algorithm-dependent start point. Will also be transparently decrypted and may also raise :exc:`~pskc.exceptions.DecryptionError`. .. attribute:: time_interval The time interval in seconds (integer) for time-based OTP algorithms (usually ``30`` or ``60``). Will also be transparently decrypted and may also raise :exc:`~pskc.exceptions.DecryptionError`. .. attribute:: time_drift For time-based OTP algorithms this contains the device clock drift in number of intervals (integer). Will also be transparently decrypted and may also raise :exc:`~pskc.exceptions.DecryptionError`. .. attribute:: issuer The name of the party that issued the key. This may be different from the :attr:`~pskc.device.Device.manufacturer` of the device. .. attribute:: key_profile A reference to a pre-shared key profile agreed upon between the sending and receiving parties. The profile information itself is not transmitted within the container. See `RFC 6030 `__. .. attribute:: key_reference A reference to an external key that is not contained within the PSKC file (e.g., a PKCS #11 key label). If this attribute is present, the :attr:`secret` attribute will generally be missing. .. attribute:: friendly_name A human-readable name for the secret key. .. attribute:: key_userid The distinguished name of the user associated with the key. Also see :attr:`~pskc.device.Device.device_userid`. .. attribute:: userid The distinguished name of the user associated with the key or the device, taken from :attr:`key_userid` or :attr:`~pskc.device.Device.device_userid` whichever one is defined. .. attribute:: algorithm_suite Additional algorithm-specific characteristics. For example, in an HMAC-based algorithm it could specify the hash algorithm used (SHA1 or SHA256). .. attribute:: challenge_encoding Encoding of the challenge accepted by the device for challenge-response authentication. One of: * ``DECIMAL``: only numerical digits * ``HEXADECIMAL``: hexadecimal * ``ALPHANUMERIC``: all letters and numbers (case sensitive) * ``BASE64``: base-64 encoded * ``BINARY``: binary data .. attribute:: challenge_min_length The minimum size of the challenge accepted by the device. .. attribute:: challenge_max_length The maximum size of the challenge accepted by the device. .. attribute:: challenge_check Boolean that indicates whether the device will check an embedded `Luhn check digit `_ contained in the challenge. .. attribute:: response_encoding Format of the response that is generated by the device. If must be one of the values as described under :attr:`challenge_encoding`. .. attribute:: response_length The length of the response generated by the device. .. attribute:: response_check Boolean that indicates whether the device will append a `Luhn check digit `_ to the response. .. attribute:: policy :class:`~pskc.policy.Policy` instance that provides key and PIN policy information. See :doc:`policy`. .. function:: check() Check if any MACs in the key data embedded in the PSKC file are valid. This will return None if there is no MAC to be checked. It will return True if all the MACs match. If any MAC fails a :exc:`~pskc.exceptions.DecryptionError` exception is raised. Apart from the above, all properties of the :class:`~pskc.device.Device` class are also transparently available in :class:`~pskc.key.Key` instances. The Device class ---------------- .. module:: pskc.device .. class:: Device() Instances of this class provide the following attributes and functions: .. attribute:: keys A list of :class:`~pskc.key.Key` instances that represent the keys that are linked to this device. Most PSKC files only allow one key per device which is why all :class:`~pskc.device.Device` attributes are available in :class:`~pskc.key.Key`. .. function:: add_key([**kwargs]) Add a new key to the device. The keyword arguments may refer to any attributes of the :class:`~pskc.key.Key` or :class:`~pskc.device.Device` class with which the new key is initialised. .. attribute:: manufacturer The name of the manufacturer of the device to which the key is provisioned. `RFC 6030 `__ prescribes that the value is of the form ``oath.prefix`` for `OATH Manufacturer Prefixes `_ or ``iana.organisation`` for `IANA Private Enterprise Numbers `_ however, it is generally just a string. The value may be different from the :attr:`~pskc.key.Key.issuer` of the key on the device. .. attribute:: serial The serial number of the device to which the key is provisioned. Together with :attr:`manufacturer` (and possibly :attr:`issue_no`) this should uniquely identify the device. .. attribute:: model A manufacturer-specific description of the model of the device. .. attribute:: issue_no The issue number in case there are devices with the same :attr:`serial` number so that they can be distinguished by different issue numbers. .. attribute:: device_binding Reference to a device identifier (e.g. IMEI) that allows a provisioning server to ensure that the key is going to be loaded into a specific device. .. attribute:: start_date :class:`datetime.datetime` value that indicates that the device should only be used after this date. .. attribute:: expiry_date :class:`datetime.datetime` value that indicates that the device should only be used before this date. Systems should not rely upon the device to enforce key usage date restrictions, as some devices do not have an internal clock. .. attribute:: device_userid The distinguished name of the user associated with the device. Also see :attr:`~pskc.key.Key.key_userid`. .. attribute:: crypto_module Implementation specific unique identifier of the cryptographic module on the device to which the keys have been (or will be) provisioned.
