PKCS11js

We make a package called Graphene, it provides a simplistic Object Oriented interface for interacting with PKCS#11 devices, for most people this is the right level to build on. In some cases you may want to interact directly with the PKCS#11 API, if so PKCS11js is the package for you.

PKCS#11 (also known as CryptoKI or PKCS11) is the standard interface for interacting with hardware crypto devices such as Smart Cards and Hardware Security Modules (HSMs).

This was developed to the PKCS#11 2.30 specification, the 2.40 headers were not availible at the time we created this, it should be easy enough to extend it for the new version at a later date.

It has been tested with :

NOTE: For testing purposes it may be easier to work with SoftHSM2 which is a software implementation of PKCS#11 based on OpenSSL or Botan.

Installation

Example #10

Initializing NSS crypto library

Use options parameter for C_Initialize function.

Type

interface InitializationOptions {
    /**
     * NSS library parameters
     */
    libraryParameters?: string;
    /**
     * bit flags specifying options for `C_Initialize`
     * - CKF_LIBRARY_CANT_CREATE_OS_THREADS. True if application threads which are executing calls to the library
     *   may not use native operating system calls to spawn new threads; false if they may
     * - CKF_OS_LOCKING_OK. True if the library can use the native operation system threading model for locking;
     *   false otherwise
     */
    flags?: number;
}
/**
 * Initializes the Cryptoki library
 * @param options Initialization options
 * Supports implementation of standard `CK_C_INITIALIZE_ARGS` and extended NSS format.
 * - if `options` is null or empty, it calls native `C_Initialize` with `NULL`
 * - if `options` doesn't have `libraryParameters`, it uses `CK_C_INITIALIZE_ARGS` structure
 * - if `options` has `libraryParameters`, it uses extended NSS structure
 */
C_Initialize(options?: InitializationOptions): void;

Code

const mod = new pkcs11.PKCS11();
mod.load("/usr/local/opt/nss/lib/libsoftokn3.dylib");

mod.C_Initialize({
    libraryParameters: "configdir='' certPrefix='' keyPrefix='' secmod='' flags=readOnly,noCertDB,noModDB,forceOpen,optimizeSpace",
});

// Your code here

mod.C_Finalize();

BIP32 Master and Child Key Pair Derivation

Please see bip32.js for an example of performing BIP32 master and child key pair derivations.

The example requires installing sha256 and bn.js:

$ npm install sha256 bn.js

NOTE: This requires a SafeNet Luna HSM with BIP32 support.

Suitability

At this time this solution should be considered suitable for research and experimentation, further code and security review is needed before utilization in a production application.
