sc-hsm-embedded PKCS#11 and CSP-Minidriver Module

=================================================



Light-weight PKCS#11 library for using the SmartCard-HSM in Windows, Linux, MacOSX and embedded systems.



The module also supports various STARCOS based signature cards commonly used in Germany.



Purpose

-------

This module has been initially developed to support the integration of a SmartCard-HSM in

embedded systems with a little footprint. Rather than using a PC/SC daemon to manage

attached card readers and token, the smaller Card Terminal API (CT-API) can be used.



Over time the project has grown into a fully featured PKCS#11 and Microsoft CSP-Minidriver crypto middleware.



Supported Hardware

------------------

The module can be compiled for Linux, Windows and MacOSX. It supports the SmartCard-HSM USB-stick

and SmartCard-HSM cards inserted into a CCID compliant reader. When using the PC/SC interface

any compliant reader can be used.



The ctccid module uses standard functions from the CCID specification, so the driver may work

with other CCID compliant readers as well. However, the only reader used during tests is

the SCR 3310 and the USB-stick.

Installation (Linux)

--------------------

Download source and run



* autoreconf -fi

* configure

* make

* make install



Required packages (Debian)



* libpcsclite1 - for PC/SC access to token

* libusb-1.0-0-dev - for CT-API access to token (--enable-ctapi)

* libssl-dev - for public key crypto support (from OpenSSL)

* libcurl4-openssl-dev - for RAMOverHTTP support (--enable-ram)



Installation (Windows)

----------------------

Select the 32-Bit or 64-Bit version depending on your version of Windows.

Installing the provided .msi file will make the sc-hsm-pkcs11.dll and sc-hsm-minidriver.dll

available in windows/system32. Test tools are installed in %PROGRAMFILES%/CardContact/SmartCard-HSM.



The 64-Bit version installs both, the 32-Bit and 64-Bit version of DLLs and test programs.



Build with Docker

-----------------

The included Dockerfile creates the build environment



To mount the card reader for the container use



    --mount type=bind,source=/var/run/pcscd,target=/var/run/pcscd



in your docker run command.



Firefox

-------

Open Firefox and Preferences/Privacy & Security, scroll down and press "Security Devices"

In the Device Manager press Load and enter "SmartCard-HSM" as module name

Select "sc-hsm-pkcs.dll" (Windows), "/usr/local/lib/sc-hsm-pkcs11.so" (Linux) or

/Library/sc-hsm-pkcs11/lib/sc-hsm-pkcs11.dylib" (Mac) as module filename.



Thunderbird

-----------

Open Thunderbird and the Security Devices Manager

Select Load and enter "SmartCard-HSM" as Module Name

Select "sc-hsm-pkcs.dll" (Windows), "/usr/local/lib/sc-hsm-pkcs11.so" (Linux) or

/Library/sc-hsm-pkcs11/lib/sc-hsm-pkcs11.dylib" (Mac) as module filename.



Uninstall

---------

Open the "Security Devices Manager"

Unload the entry under "SmartCard-HSM"



Running the test program

------------------------

Open a console and change into the sc-hsm-pkcs11 directory.

Insert a SmartCard-HSM and enter



sc-hsm-pkcs11-test --module lib\sc-hsm-pkcs11.dll



For a STARCOS card you will need to define the token that shall be used for tests:



sc-hsm-pkcs11-test --module lib\sc-hsm-pkcs11.dll --token STARCOS.eUserPKI



Without a PIN given with the --pin parameter only tests are performed for which

no PIN is required.



Debugging

---------

A debugging version of the PKCS#11 module is provided to aid debugging of

card and card reader problems.



Please install the debug version and create a sc-hsm-embedded directory under

%HOME%/tmp on Linux/MacOSX and %HOMEDIR%/appdata/LocalLow on Windows.



System applications running under root will write logfiles to /var/tmp/sc-hsm-embedded.



On Linux you will need to use configure with --enable-debug.



Release 2.11

------------

Add support for 4K version of the SmartCard-HSM (V3.x)

Add support for AES

Add support for TLS1.3



Release 2.10

------------

Add write support for the SmartCard-HSM

Add CSP-Minidriver for Windows based applications

Add C_WaitForSlotEvent

Add public key operation with C_Verify*(), C_Encrypt*() and C_Digest*() functions

Removed support for obsolete Signtrust Cards.



Release 2.9

-----------

Added ATRs for BNotK cards



Release 2.8

-----------

Added support for ECC keys on DGN card

Added support for static slot ids

Fixed issue with leaked PIN value due to non-cleared buffers

Added multi-threading tests for ECC



Release 2.7

-----------

Added support for DGN HBA on Starcos 3.5



Release 2.6

-----------

Disabled QES token when running under Firefox.



Release 2.5

-----------

Added ATR for contactless SmartCard-HSMs.



Release 2.4

-----------

Removed probing of applications on unrecognized cards.



Release 2.3

-----------

Disabled QES2 on Signtrust 3.2 card as this is never used.

Added environment variable PKCS11_PREALLOCATE_VIRTUAL_SLOTS= to create  virtual slots when the

primary slot is allocated for the first time. Without the flag a virtual slot is dynamically created if a

token with more than one PIN is detect. In that case the PKCS#11 module creates an additional virtual slot for

each additional PIN (usually the QES PINs). However, this dynamic behaviour collides with the way Firefox handles

the Friendly flag, which is only set for slots that are present at modul loading.



Release 2.2

-----------

Added support for Signtrust Starcos 3.2 card



Release 2.1

-----------

Added support for D-Trust Starcos 3.4 card

Added support for Signtrust Starcos 3.5 card
