.\" The -*- nroff -*- definitions below are for supplemental macros used
.\" in Tcl/Tk manual entries.
.\"
.\" .AP type name in/out ?indent?
.\"	Start paragraph describing an argument to a library procedure.
.\"	type is type of argument (int, etc.), in/out is either "in", "out",
.\"	or "in/out" to describe whether procedure reads or modifies arg,
.\"	and indent is equivalent to second arg of .IP (shouldn't ever be
.\"	needed;  use .AS below instead)
.\"
.\" .AS ?type? ?name?
.\"	Give maximum sizes of arguments for setting tab stops.  Type and
.\"	name are examples of largest possible arguments that will be passed
.\"	to .AP later.  If args are omitted, default tab stops are used.
.\"
.\" .BS
.\"	Start box enclosure.  From here until next .BE, everything will be
.\"	enclosed in one large box.

.\"
.\" .CE
.\"	End code excerpt.
.\"
.\" .VS ?version? ?br?
.\"	Begin vertical sidebar, for use in marking newly-changed parts
.\"	of man pages.  The first argument is ignored and used for recording
.\"	the version when the .VS was added, so that the sidebars can be
.\"	found and removed when they reach a certain age.  If another argument
.\"	is present, then a line break is forced before starting the sidebar.

.\"	omitted, defaults to "options". The options follow on successive
.\"	lines, in three columns separated by tabs.
.\"
.\" .SE
.\"	End of list of standard options for a Tk widget.
.\"
.\" .OP cmdName dbName dbClass
.\"	Start of description of a specific option.  cmdName gives the

\fB::pki::encrypt\fR ?\fI-binary\fR? ?\fI-hex\fR? ?\fI-pad\fR? ?\fI-nopad\fR? ?\fI-priv\fR? ?\fI-pub\fR? ?\fI--\fR? \fIinput\fR \fIkey\fR
Encrypt a message using PKI (probably RSA)\&.
Requires the caller to specify either \fB-priv\fR to encrypt with
the private key or \fB-pub\fR to encrypt with the public key\&.  The
default option is to pad and return in hex\&.  One of \fB-pub\fR or
\fB-priv\fR must be specified\&.
The \fB-hex\fR option causes the data to be returned in encoded as
a hexidecimal string, while the \fB-binary\fR option causes the data
to be returned as a binary string\&.  If they are specified multiple
times, the last one specified is used\&.
The \fB-pad\fR option causes the data to be padded per PKCS#1 prior
to being encrypted\&.  The \fB-nopad\fR inhibits this behaviour\&.  If
they are specified multiple times, the last one specified is used\&.
The input to encrypt is specified as \fIinput\fR\&.
The \fIkey\fR parameter, holding the key to use, is a return value
from either
\fB::pki::pkcs::parse_key\fR,
\fB::pki::x509::parse_cert\fR, or
\fB::pki::rsa::generate\fR\&.

\fB::pki::sign\fR \fIinput\fR \fIkey\fR ?\fIalgo\fR?
Digitally sign message \fIinput\fR using the private \fIkey\fR\&.  If \fIalgo\fR
is ommited "sha1" is assumed\&.  Possible values for \fIalgo\fR include
"md5", "sha1", "sha256", and "raw"\&.  Specifyin "raw" for \fIalgo\fR will
inhibit the building of an ASN\&.1 structure to encode which hashing
algorithm was chosen\&.
The \fIinput\fR should be the plain text, hashing will be performed on it\&.
The \fIkey\fR should include the private key\&.
.TP
\fB::pki::verify\fR \fIsignedmessage\fR \fIplaintext\fR \fIkey\fR ?\fIalgo\fR?
Verify a digital signature using a public \fIkey\fR\&.  Returns true or false\&.
.TP
\fB::pki::key\fR \fIkey\fR ?\fIpassword\fR? ?\fIencodePem\fR?
Convert a key structure into a serialized PEM (default) or DER encoded private key suitable for other applications\&.  For RSA keys this means PKCS#1\&.
.TP
\fB::pki::pkcs::parse_key\fR \fIkey\fR ?\fIpassword\fR?
Convert a PKCS#1 private \fIkey\fR into a usable key, i\&.e\&. one which
can be used as argument for
\fB::pki::encrypt\fR,
\fB::pki::decrypt\fR,
\fB::pki::sign\fR, and
\fB::pki::verify\fR\&.
.TP
\fB::pki::x509::parse_cert\fR \fIcert\fR
Convert an X\&.509 certificate to a usable (public) key, i\&.e\&. one which
can be used as argument for
\fB::pki:encrypt\fR,
\fB::pki::decrypt\fR, and
\fB::pki::verify\fR\&.
The \fIcert\fR argument can be either PEM or DER encoded\&.
.TP
\fB::pki::rsa::generate\fR \fIbitlength\fR ?\fIexponent\fR?
Generate a new RSA key pair, the parts of which can be used as
argument for
\fB::pki::encrypt\fR,
\fB::pki::decrypt\fR,
\fB::pki::sign\fR, and
\fB::pki::verify\fR\&.
The \fIbitlength\fR argument is the length of the public key modulus\&.
The \fIexponent\fR argument should generally not be specified unless
you really know what you are doing\&.
.TP
\fB::pki::x509::verify_cert\fR \fIcert\fR \fItrustedcerts\fR ?\fIintermediatecerts\fR?
Verify that a trust can be found between the certificate specified in the
\fIcert\fR argument and one of the certificates specified in the list
of certificates in the \fItrustedcerts\fR argument\&.  (Eventually the
chain can be through untrusted certificates listed in the \fIintermediatecerts\fR
argument, but this is currently unimplemented)\&.
The certificates specified in the \fIcert\fR and \fItrustedcerts\fR option
should be parsed (from \fB::pki::x509::parse_cert\fR)\&.
.TP
\fB::pki::x509::validate_cert\fR \fIcert\fR ?\fB-sign_message\fR \fIdn_of_signer\fR? ?\fB-encrypt_message\fR \fIdn_of_signer\fR? ?\fB-sign_cert\fR \fIdn_to_be_signed\fR \fIca_depth\fR? ?\fB-ssl\fR \fIdn\fR?
Validate that a certificate is valid to be used in some capacity\&.  If
multiple options are specified they must all be met for this procedure
to return "true"\&.
Currently, only the \fB-sign_cert\fR option is functional\&.
Arguments for the \fB-sign_cert\fR option are \fIdn_to_be_signed\fR
and \fIca_depth\fR\&.  The \fIdn_to_be_signed\fR is the distinguished from
the subject of a certificate to verify that the certificate specified in
the \fIcert\fR argument can sign\&.  The \fIca_depth\fR argument is used to
indicate at which depth the verification should be done at\&.  Some
certificates are limited to how far down the chain they can be used to
verify a given certificate\&.
.TP
\fB::pki::pkcs::create_csr\fR \fIkeylist\fR \fInamelist\fR ?\fIencodePem\fR? ?\fIalgo\fR?
Generate a certificate signing request from a key pair specified in
the \fIkeylist\fR argument\&.
The \fInamelist\fR argument is a list of "name" followed by "value"
pairs to encoding as the requested distinguished name in the CSR\&.
The \fIencodePem\fR option specifies whether or not the result should
be PEM encoded or DER encoded\&.  A "true" value results in the result
being PEM encoded, while any other value 9results in the the result
being DER encoded\&.  DER encoding is the default\&.
The \fIalgo\fR argument specifies the hashing algorithm we should use
to sign this certificate signing request with\&.  The default is "sha1"\&.
Other possible values include "md5" and "sha256"\&.
.TP
\fB::pki::pkcs::parse_csr\fR \fIcsr\fR
Parse a Certificate Signing Request\&.  The \fIcsr\fR argument can be
either PEM or DER encoded\&.
.TP
\fB::pki::x509::create_cert\fR \fIsignreqlist\fR \fIcakeylist\fR \fIserial_number\fR \fInotBefore\fR \fInotAfter\fR \fIisCA\fR \fIextensions\fR ?\fIencodePem\fR? ?\fIalgo\fR?
Sign a signing request (usually from \fB::pki::pkcs::create_csr\fR or
\fB::pki::pkcs::parse_csr\fR) with a Certificate Authority (CA) certificate\&.
The \fIsignreqlist\fR argument should be the parsed signing request\&.
The \fIcakeylist\fR argument should be the parsed CA certificate\&.
The \fIserial_number\fR argument should be a serial number unique to
this certificate from this certificate authority\&.
The \fInotBefore\fR and \fInotAfter\fR arguments should contain the
time before and after which (respectively) the certificate should
be considered invalid\&.  The time should be encoded as something
\fBclock format\fR will accept (i\&.e\&., the results of \fBclock seconds\fR
and \fBclock add\fR)\&.
The \fIisCA\fR argument is a boolean argumen describing whether or not
the signed certificate should be a a CA certificate\&.  If specified as
true the "id-ce-basicConstraints" extension is added with the arguments
of "critical" being true, "allowCA" being true, and caDepth being
-1 (infinite)\&.
The \fIextensions\fR argument is a list of extensions and their parameters
that should be encoded into the created certificate\&.   Currently only one
extension is understood ("id-ce-basicConstraints")\&.  It accepts three
arguments \fIcritical\fR \fIallowCA\fR \fIcaDepth\fR\&.  The \fIcritical\fR
argument to this extension (and any extension) whether or not the
validator should reject the certificate as invalid if it does not
understand the extension (if set to "true") or should ignore the extension
(if set to "false")\&.  The \fIallowCA\fR argument is used to specify
as a boolean value whether or not we can be used a certificate
authority (CA)\&.  The \fIcaDepth\fR argument indicates how many children
CAs can be children of this CA in a depth-wise fashion\&.  A value of "0"
for the \fIcaDepth\fR argument means that this CA cannot sign a CA
certificate and have the result be valid\&.  A value of "-1" indicates
infinite depth\&.
