Go Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

PKCS11 Export Public Key from HSM

See more PKCS11 Examples

Demonstrates how to export a public key from a smartcard or token. Go

    success := false

    //  This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    //  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    //  Note: Chilkat's PKCS11 implementation runs on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and other supported operating systems.

    pkcs11 := chilkat.NewPkcs11()

    //  Use the PKCS11 driver (.dll, .so, .dylib) for your particular HSM.
    //  (The format of the path will change with the operating system.  Obviously, "C:/" is not used on non-Windows systems.
    pkcs11.SetSharedLibPath("C:/Program Files (x86)/Gemalto/IDGo 800 PKCS#11/IDPrimePKCS1164.dll")

    //  Establish a logged-on session. (We can typically skip the login by passing an empty PIN if only working with public keys)
    //  Use your actual PIN here, or an empty string to skip login.
    pin := "0000"
    userType := 1
    success = pkcs11.QuickSession(userType,pin)
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(pkcs11.LastErrorText())
        pkcs11.DisposePkcs11()
        return
    }

    //  Get the handle of the public key we wish to export.
    //  You can find public keys in many different ways.
    //  This example will search for a public key by label.

    //  Provide a template to find a PKCS11 object.
    jsonTemplate := chilkat.NewJsonObject()

    //  Find the public key with the label "Belgium eHealth".
    jsonTemplate.UpdateString("class","public_key")
    jsonTemplate.UpdateString("label","Belgium eHealth")

    pubKeyHandle := pkcs11.FindObject(jsonTemplate)
    if pubKeyHandle == 0 {
        fmt.Println(pkcs11.LastErrorText())
        pkcs11.DisposePkcs11()
        jsonTemplate.DisposeJsonObject()
        return
    }

    //  Export to a Chilkat public key object.
    pubKey := chilkat.NewPublicKey()
    success = pkcs11.ExportPublicKey(pubKeyHandle,pubKey)
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(pkcs11.LastErrorText())
        pkcs11.DisposePkcs11()
        jsonTemplate.DisposeJsonObject()
        pubKey.DisposePublicKey()
        return

    //  Get the public key as PKCS8 PEM.
    fmt.Println(*pubKey.GetPem(false))
