similar to: [PATCH 1/2] Add support for openssl engine based keys

I've architected this in a way that looks future proof at least to the openssl provider transition. What will happen in openssl 3.0.0 is that providers become active and will accept keys via URI. The current file mechanisms will still be available but internally it will become a file URI. To support the provider interface, openssl will have to accept keys by URI instead of file and may

Engine keys are private key files which are only understood by openssl external engines. ?The problem is they can't be loaded with the usual openssl methods, they have to be loaded via ENGINE_load_private_key(). ?Because they're files, they fit well into openssh pub/private file structure, so they're not very appropriately handled by the pkcs11 interface because it assumes the private

Hi, I have not found any way to use a Certificate with ssh-agent when my Key is stored on a pkcs11 device. I can add my key with ssh-add -s /usr/local/lib/opensc-pkcs11.so but ssh-add -s /usr/local/lib/opensc-pkcs11.so ~/.ssh/mykey-cert.pub does not add the certificate to my agent. As far as I undestand, in ssh-add.c line 580 if (pkcs11provider != NULL) { if (update_card(agent_fd,

Add support to load additional certificates for already loaded private keys. Useful if the private key is on a PKCS#11 hardware token. The private keys inside ssh-agent are now using a refcount to share the private parts between "Identities". The reason for this change was that the PKCS#11 code might have redirected ("wrap") the RSA functions to a hardware token. We don't

What I?m saying is that TPM should be able to behave like a PKCS#11 token. Loading TPM keys is similar to provisioning a PKCS#11 token (and hopefully needs to be done as rarely). The normal use of a TPM seems to be operating on the keys already installed ? rather than loading keys in every time you need to do something. TPM, like other hardware tokens, was designed for storing things (keys)

Hi, The main (and probably the only) use case of this PAM module is to let sudo authenticate users via their ssh-agent, therefore without having to type any password and without being tempted to use the NOPASSWD sudo option for such convenience. The principle is originally implemented by an existing module [0][1] and many pages that explain how to use it for such purpose can be found online.

From: Corey Hickey <chickey at tagged.com> When ssh-add is used in a script like: if ! KEY_LISTING=$(ssh-add -l 2>&1) ; then echo "SSH agent error" >&2 exit 2 fi ...the operation fails when there is an agent but there are no keys in the agent. This is because ssh-add exits with status of 1. If the intent is to examine the keys in the agent,

Hi, I'm doing some test with a pkcs11 token that can only sign short messages. When connecting to one server, that reports pkalg rsa-sha2-512 blen 151, it fails to sign the pubkey because it is 83 bytes long. (sshd: OpenSSH_7.3p1) A older server that reports pkalg ssh-rsa blen 151, works perfectly as the pubkey signature required is only 35 bytes long. (sshd: OpenSSH_6.7p1) I am not sure

Hi all. While on the subject of the OpenSSL interface, this patch optionally enables OpenSSL's ENGINE support at build time. Apply to a snapshot, autoreconf and "./configure --with-ssl-engine". Testing (esp. with a real hardware engine) would be appreciated. Index: INSTALL =================================================================== RCS file:

I find this approach very bad in general.? PKCS#11 standard says that *private* keys should not be accessible without authentication. *Public* keys and certificates of course can and should be accessible with no authentication. SoftHSM misinterpreted this originally (older pkcs11 documents were less clear :), but they rectified this mistake. We should not repeat it.?

`git describe' says V_7_3_P1-207-gc924b2ef (shouldn't it say V_7_4_P1-<yadayada>?).

Hi, I have made a patch for enabling the use of ECDSA keys in the PKCS#11 support of ssh-agent which will be of interest to other users. I have tested it with P-256 keys. P-384 and P-521 should work out-of-the box. The code is ready for non-FIPS curves (named or explicit), but OpenSSH currently limits ECDSA to those 3 curves. At high level it works like the support for RSA, but because of
