NAME

Crypt::OpenSSL::PKCS12 - Perl extension to OpenSSL's PKCS12 API.

SYNOPSIS

  use Crypt::OpenSSL::PKCS12;
  my $pass   = "your password";
  my $pkcs12 = Crypt::OpenSSL::PKCS12->new_from_file('cert.p12');
  print $pkcs12->certificate($pass);
  print $pkcs12->private_key($pass);
  if ($pkcs12->mac_ok($pass)) {
  ...
  # Creating a file
  $pkcs12->create('test-cert.pem', 'test-key.pem', $pass, 'out.p12', 'friendly name');
  # Creating a string
  my $pksc12_data = $pkcs12->create_as_string('test-cert.pem', 'test-key.pem', $pass, 'friendly name');
  # Reproducing OpenSSL's info
  my $info = $pkcs12->info($pass);
  # Accessing OpenSSL's info as a hash
  my $info_hash = $pkcs12->info_as_hash($pass);

VERSION

This documentation describes version 1.94 of Crypt::OpenSSL::PKCS12

DESCRIPTION

PKCS12 is a file format for storing cryptography objects as a single file or string. PKCS12 is commonly used to bundle a private key with its X.509 certificate or to bundle all the members of a chain of trust.

This distribution implements a subset of OpenSSL's PKCS12 API.

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

  • new( )
  • legacy_support ( )

    Check whether the openssl version installed supports the legacy provider.

  • new_from_string( $string )
  • new_from_file( $filename )

    Create a new Crypt::OpenSSL::PKCS12 instance.

  • certificate( [$pass] )

    Get the Base64 representation of the certificate.

  • ca_certificate( [$pass] )

    Get the Base64 representation of the CA certificate chain.

  • private_key( [$pass] )

    Get the Base64 representation of the private key.

  • as_string( [$pass] )

    Get the binary represenation as a string.

  • mac_ok( [$pass] )

    Verifiy the certificates Message Authentication Code

  • changepass( $old, $new )

    Change a certificate's password.

  • create( $cert, $key, $pass, $output_file, $friendly_name )

    Create a new PKCS12 certificate. $cert & $key may either be strings or filenames.

    $friendly_name is optional.

  • create_as_string( $cert, $key, $pass, $friendly_name )

    Create a new PKCS12 certificate string. $cert & $key may either be strings or filenames.

    $friendly_name is optional.

    Returns a string holding the PKCS12 certicate.

  • info( $pass )

    Returns a string containing the output of information about the pkcs12 file in the same format as produced by the openssl command:

        openssl pkcs12 -in certs/test_le_1.1.p12 -info -nodes
        
  • info_as_hash( $pass )

    Places the information about the pkcs12 file, the certificates and keys in a hash.

    The format of the hash is complex to represent the data in the PKCS12 file:

    Essentially, the hash follows the format of the -info output.

    1. pkcs7_data and pkcs7_encrypted_data are arrays as more than one of each can exist 2. mac provieds the top level mac parameters for the file 3. safe_contents_bag is an array that contains an array of bags 4. bags is an array of bags 5. a bag is a container for a key or certificate

    Each bag has a type and the following are available:

    1. key_bag 2. certificate_bag 3. shrouded_keybag 4. secret_bag 5. safe_contents_bag
