Hi,

here is a draft to start discussion. Lt me know if it is the right
direction and what you're missing.
https://fedorahosted.org/bind-dyndb-ldap/wiki/BIND9/Design/pkcs11Schema
I think we need to think hard if you really can make all those
attributes a MUST for the private key, as not all the attributes seem to
apply to all encryption algorithms. Would have to have to add bogus
attributes in some cases.
most of them are MAY, right now I have only" ipaPkcs11keyType
ipaPkcs11label ipaPkcs11id" as MUST, but this can be argued. I looke
what softhsm is doing when importing a keypair:
|softhsm --import key1.pem --slot 1 --label "My key" --id A1B2 --pin 123456
so I thought ID and LABEL woul be something provided from the
application and should be there to describe the key. When storing the
key (which is in pkcs#8 format) softhsm breaks up the data from the file
and creates two pkcs#11 attribute templates:
Any reason why we should follow in detail what softshm does ?
because I did't know what is really needed. If you want to have a pkcs11 module, which stores data in ldap, I though it should have all the attributes potentially needed. Jan said taht OpenDNSSEC uses CKA_VERIFY, CKA_ENCRYPT, CKA_WRAP, CKA_SIGN, CKA_DECRYPT, CKA_UNWRAP, CKA_SENSITIVE, CKA_PRIVATE, CKA_EXTRACTABLE,
so there is at least one requirement for fine grained attributes.

   CK_ATTRIBUTE pubTemplate[] = {
      { CKA_CLASS,            &pubClass,    sizeof(pubClass) },
      { CKA_KEY_TYPE,         &keyType,     sizeof(keyType) },
      { CKA_LABEL,            label,        strlen(label) },
      { CKA_ID,               objID,        objIDLen },
      { CKA_TOKEN,            &ckTrue,      sizeof(ckTrue) },
      { CKA_VERIFY,           &ckTrue,      sizeof(ckTrue) },
      { CKA_ENCRYPT,          &ckFalse,     sizeof(ckFalse) },
      { CKA_WRAP,             &ckFalse,     sizeof(ckFalse) },
      { CKA_PUBLIC_EXPONENT,  keyMat->bigE, keyMat->sizeE },
      { CKA_MODULUS,          keyMat->bigN, keyMat->sizeN }
    };
    CK_ATTRIBUTE privTemplate[] = {
      { CKA_CLASS,            &privClass,   sizeof(privClass) },
      { CKA_KEY_TYPE,         &keyType,     sizeof(keyType) },
      { CKA_LABEL,            label,        strlen(label) },
      { CKA_ID,               objID,        objIDLen },
      { CKA_SIGN,             &ckTrue,      sizeof(ckTrue) },
      { CKA_DECRYPT,          &ckFalse,     sizeof(ckFalse) },
      { CKA_UNWRAP,           &ckFalse,     sizeof(ckFalse) },
      { CKA_SENSITIVE,        &ckTrue,      sizeof(ckTrue) },
      { CKA_TOKEN,            &ckTrue,      sizeof(ckTrue) },
      { CKA_PRIVATE,          &ckTrue,      sizeof(ckTrue) },
      { CKA_EXTRACTABLE,      &ckFalse,     sizeof(ckFalse) },
      { CKA_PUBLIC_EXPONENT,  keyMat->bigE, keyMat->sizeE },
      { CKA_MODULUS,          keyMat->bigN, keyMat->sizeN },
      { CKA_PRIVATE_EXPONENT, keyMat->bigD, keyMat->sizeD },
      { CKA_PRIME_1,          keyMat->bigP, keyMat->sizeP },
      { CKA_PRIME_2,          keyMat->bigQ, keyMat->sizeQ },
      { CKA_EXPONENT_1,       keyMat->bigDMP1, keyMat->sizeDMP1 },
      { CKA_EXPONENT_2,       keyMat->bigDMQ1, keyMat->sizeDMQ1 },
      { CKA_COEFFICIENT,      keyMat->bigIQMP, keyMat->sizeIQMP }
    };

I thought that CLASS would be translated to an LDAP objectclass, |

|CKA_KEY_TYPE,||CKA_LABEL and CKA_ID would be provided (or default to rsa)|.

For the the private key itself it could be either stored completely as 
ipaPkcs8privateKey or as individual key attributes: ipaPkcs11publicExponent, 
ipaPkcs11modulus,  ipaPkcs11privateExponent, ipaPkcs11prim1, ipaPkcs11prim2
I did ignore CKA_SIGN, CKA_DECRYPT, CKA_UNWRAP, CKA_SENSITIVE as only defaults 
were used, but maybe this is my ignorance.
And|CKA_EXPONENT_1,||CKA_EXPONENT_2, CKA_COEFICIENT as they seemed redundant to 
me, calculated from other components.

If we need any of the attributes I omitted or if we need other attributes for 
other keytypes let me know.

I am unsure that splitting keys this way really is useful to us, in what
case an LDAP client will ever need such details ? Wouldn't it make sense
to keep a pkcs11 blob and only split out attributes we need to identify
the key for our needs ?


ipaPkcs8privateKey

Also can you add some examples on how we would use these classes to
store DNS keys ?
in what format do you provide the dns key ? The public key could be
stored using modulus and exponent, do we need the flags, protocol adn
algorithm attribute ? Does a schema for DNS records already exist ?
Well for example we store SSH keys in DNS, the whole key in one single
attribute. I am not sure what is the point for us to split keys in
parts, the only thing I see is a risk of messing up keys by
inadvertently changing one of the attributes only and a burden to
recompose keys every time they are queried.

Ideally the example would show the LDAP tree and some example data in
detail, and also what operation we think would be common.

Simo.

Simo.
