Certificate signing functions.
Call set_subprocess() with the subprocess module. Either Python’s subprocess or eventlet.green.subprocess can be used.
If set_subprocess() is not called, this module will pick Python’s subprocess or eventlet.green.subprocess based on if os module is patched by eventlet.
Hash PKI tokens.
Uses OpenSSL to sign a document.
Produces a Base64 encoding of a DER formatted CMS Document http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographic_Message_Syntax
Verifies the signature of the contents IAW CMS syntax.
Raises : | subprocess.CalledProcessError |
---|---|
Raises : | CertificateConfigError if certificate is not configured properly. |
Deprecated. Use is_asn1_token() instead.
Determine if a token appears to be PKI-based.
thx to ayoung for sorting this out.
base64 decoded hex representation of MII is 3082:
In [3]: binascii.hexlify(base64.b64decode('MII='))
Out[3]: '3082'
re: http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/studygroups/com17/languages/X.690-0207.pdf
pg4: For tags from 0 to 30 the first octet is the identfier
pg10: Hex 30 means sequence, followed by the length of that sequence.
pg5: Second octet is the length octet
first bit indicates short or long form, next 7 bits encode the
number of subsequent octets that make up the content length octets
as an unsigned binary int
82 = 10000010 (first bit indicates long form)
0000010 = 2 octets of content length
so read the next 2 octets to get the length of the content.
In the case of a very large content length there could be a requirement to have more than 2 octets to designate the content length, therefore requiring us to check for MIM, MIQ, etc.
In [4]: base64.b64encode(binascii.a2b_hex('3083'))
Out[4]: 'MIM='
In [5]: base64.b64encode(binascii.a2b_hex('3084'))
Out[5]: 'MIQ='
Checking for MI would become invalid at 16 octets of content length
10010000 = 90
In [6]: base64.b64encode(binascii.a2b_hex('3090'))
Out[6]: 'MJA='
Checking for just M is insufficient
But we will only check for MII: Max length of the content using 2 octets is 7FFF or 32767.
It’s not practical to support a token of this length or greater in http therefore, we will check for MII only and ignore the case of larger tokens
Set subprocess module to use. The subprocess could be eventlet.green.subprocess if using eventlet, or Python’s subprocess otherwise.
