OpenXPKI::Crypto::Backend::OpenSSL - OpenSSL cryptographic backend

Description

This is the basic class to provide OpenXPKI with an OpenSSL based cryptographic token. Beside the documented function all functions in the class OpenXPKI::Crypto::Backend::OpenSSL::Engine are available here too because we map these engine specific functions directly to the engine (via AUTOLOAD).

Functions

new

is the constructor. It requires five basic parameters which are described here. The other parameters are engine specific and are described in the related engine documentation. Please see OpenXPKI::Crypto::Backend::OpenSSL::Engine for more details.

RANDFILE (file to store the random informations)
SHELL (the OpenSSL binary)
TMP (the used temporary directory which must be private)

command

execute an OpenSSL command. You must specify the name of the command as first parameter followed by a hash with parameter. Example:

  $token->command ({COMMAND => "create_key", TYPE => "RSA", ...});

get_object
get_object_function
free_object

Engine functions

The OpenSSL engines which are supported provide some functions to get more detailed infos about the used security token. Please see our engine module for more informations.
