PKCS11 Import an Existing RSA Public Key onto the HSM

See more PKCS11 Examples

Demonstrates how to import an existing RSA Public Key onto a smart card or token.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.96 or later.

Ruby

require 'chilkat'

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::CkPkcs11.new()

# 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.put_SharedLibPath("C:/Program Files (x86)/Gemalto/IDGo 800 PKCS#11/IDPrimePKCS1164.dll")

# Establish a logged-on session.
pin = "0000"
userType = 1
success = pkcs11.QuickSession(userType,pin)
if (success == false)
    print pkcs11.lastErrorText() + "\n";

# Generate a new 2048-bit RSA key.

# Get the public key information as XML, so we can access the modulus and exponent.
xml = Chilkat::CkXml.new()

attrs.UpdateString("class","CKO_PUBLIC_KEY")

# Add an optional label if desired.
attrs.UpdateString("label","RSA Public Key 1")
# Allow the key to be use for verify, wrapping, and encryption operations.

# Make this a session-only public key.
# To store the public key on the token so that it persists after the PKCS11 session, set token = true.
attrs.UpdateBool("token",false)

# Provide the RSA public key material
attrs.UpdateString("modulus",xml.getChildContent("Modulus"))
attrs.UpdateString("public_exponent",xml.getChildContent("Exponent"))

# Create the RSA public key.
# Returns the PKCS11 object handle of the created key.
