See more PKCS11 Examples

Demonstrates how to find a private key based on a user-specified label.

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

    // 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.

    let pkcs11 = CkoPkcs11()

    // Use the PKCS11 driver (.dll, .so, .dylib) for your particular HSM.
    // For example:
    pkcs11.SharedLibPath = "C:/Program Files (x86)/Gemalto/IDGo 800 PKCS#11/IDPrimePKCS11.dll"

    // Use your HSM's PIN.
    var pin: String? = "0000"

    // Normal user = 1
    var userType: Int = 1

    // Establish a logged-on user session with the HSM.
    var success: Bool = pkcs11.QuickSession(userType, pin: pin)
    if success == false {
        print("\(pkcs11.LastErrorText)")
        return
    }

    // Provide a template to find a PKCS11 object.
    let jsonTemplate = CkoJsonObject()

    // Find an RSA private key with the label "MySshKey".
    // Here's an example of how the key was originally imported: 
    // PKCS11 Import SSH Key
    jsonTemplate.UpdateString("class", value: "private_key")
    jsonTemplate.UpdateString("key_type", value: "rsa")
    jsonTemplate.UpdateString("label", value: "MySshKey")

    var privKeyHandle: UInt32 = pkcs11.FindObject(jsonTemplate)
    if privKeyHandle == 0 {
        print("\(pkcs11.LastErrorText)")
        return
    }

    // The private key handle is only valid during the PKCS11 session.
    // If you wish to use the private key in another PKCS11 session,
    // you'll first need to find it.  See:  
    print("private key handle: \(privKeyHandle)")

    // Do whatever you wish with the private key handle...
    // ...
    // ...
