PKCS11 Key Generation - User Guide
|
|
***********************************
|
|
|
|
The Key Generation script was written with the Deployer in mind. It allows the
|
|
deployer to create an MKEK and HMAC signing key for their HSM setup. This
|
|
script is intended to be used initially or for key rotation scenarios.
|
|
|
|
Setup
|
|
#####
|
|
|
|
Initially, the deployer will need to examine the settings in their
|
|
`barbican.conf` file under the "Crypto plugin" settings section. Set these
|
|
values to whichever defaults you need. This will be used for both the script
|
|
and your usage of barbican.
|
|
|
|
The following items are required to use the PKCS11 plugin:
|
|
|
|
* Library Path
|
|
* Login Passphrase (Password to HSM)
|
|
* Slot ID (on HSM)
|
|
|
|
The following will need to be provided to generate the HMAC and MKEK:
|
|
* MKEK Label
|
|
* MKEK Length
|
|
* HMAC Label
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
mkek Generates a new MKEK.

|
|
of the command.

|
Generating an MKEK
|
|
******************
|
|
|
|
To generate an MKEK, the user must provide a length and a label for the MKEK.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
$ pkcs11-key-generation --library-path {library_path here}
|
|
--passphrase {HSM password here} --slot-id {HSM slot here} mkek --length 32
|
|
--label 'HMACLabelHere'
|
|

|
|
Generating an HMAC
|
|
******************
|
|
|
|
To generate an HMAC, the user must provide a label for the HMAC.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
