Description
===========
`lua-resty-openssl` is a FFI-based OpenSSL binding library, currently
supports OpenSSL `3.x` and `1.1.1` series.
[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)
Status
========
Production.
Synopsis
========
This library is greatly inspired by [luaossl](https://github.com/wahern/luaossl), while uses the
naming conversion closer to original OpenSSL API.
For example, a function called `X509_set_pubkey` in OpenSSL C API will expect to exist
as `resty.openssl.x509:set_pubkey`.
*CamelCase*s are replaced to *underscore_case*s, for exmaple `X509_set_serialNumber` becomes
`resty.openssl.x509:set_serial_number`. Another difference than `luaossl` is that errors are never thrown
using `error()` but instead return as last parameter.
Each Lua table returned by `new()` contains a cdata object `ctx`. User are not supposed to manully setting
`ffi.gc` or calling corresponding destructor of the `ctx` struct (like `*_free` functions).

## resty.openssl
This meta module provides a version sanity check against linked OpenSSL library.
[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)
### openssl.load_library
**syntax**: *name, err = openssl.load_library()*
Try to load OpenSSL shared libraries. This function tries couple of known patterns
the library could be named and return the name of `crypto` library if it's being
successfully loaded and error if any.
When running inside `resty` CLI or OpenResty with SSL enabled, calling this function
is not necessary.
[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)
### openssl.load_modules
**syntax**: *openssl.load_modules()*
Load all available sub modules into current module:
```lua
bn = require("resty.openssl.bn"),
cipher = require("resty.openssl.cipher"),
digest = require("resty.openssl.digest"),
hmac = require("resty.openssl.hmac"),
kdf = require("resty.openssl.kdf"),
pkey = require("resty.openssl.pkey"),
objects = require("resty.openssl.objects"),
rand = require("resty.openssl.rand"),
version = require("resty.openssl.version"),
x509 = require("resty.openssl.x509"),
altname = require("resty.openssl.x509.altname"),
chain = require("resty.openssl.x509.chain"),
csr = require("resty.openssl.x509.csr"),
crl = require("resty.openssl.x509.crl"),
extension = require("resty.openssl.x509.extension"),
extensions = require("resty.openssl.x509.extensions"),
name = require("resty.openssl.x509.name"),
store = require("resty.openssl.x509.store"),
ssl = require("resty.openssl.ssl"),
ssl_ctx = require("resty.openssl.ssl_ctx"),
```
Starting OpenSSL 3.0, [`provider`](#restyopensslprovider) and [`mac`](#restyopensslmac)
[`ctx`](#restyopensslctx)
is also available.
[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)
### openssl.luaossl_compat
**syntax**: *openssl.luaossl_compat()*
Provides `luaossl` flavored API which uses *camelCase* naming; user can expect drop in replacement.
For example, `pkey:get_parameters` is mapped to `pkey:getParameters`.
Note that not all `luaossl` API has been implemented, please check readme for source of truth.
[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)
### openssl.get_fips_mode
**syntax**: *enabled = openssl.get_fips_mode()*
Returns a boolean indicating if FIPS mode is enabled.
[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)
### openssl.set_fips_mode
**syntax**: *ok, err = openssl.set_fips_mode(enabled)*
Toggle FIPS mode on or off.
lua-resty-openssl supports following modes:
**OpenSSL 1.0.2 series with fips 2.0 module**
Compile the module per [security policy](https://www.openssl.org/docs/fips/SecurityPolicy-2.0.2.pdf),
**OpenSSL 3.0.0 fips provider**
Refer to https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/OpenSSL_3.0 Section 7
Compile the provider per guide, install the fipsmodule.cnf that
matches hash of FIPS provider fips.so.
On OpenSSL 3.0 or later, this function also turns on and off default
properties for EVP functions. When turned on, all applications using
EVP_* API will be redirected to FIPS-compliant implementations and
have no access to non-FIPS-compliant algorithms.
Calling this function is equivalent of loading `fips` provider and
call [openssl.set_default_properties("fips=yes")](#opensslset_default_properties).
If fips provider is loaded but default properties are not set, use following
to explictly fetch FIPS implementation.
```lua
local provider = require "resty.openssl.provider"
assert(provider.load("fips"))
local cipher = require "resty.openssl.cipher"
local c = assert(cipher.new("aes256"))
print(c:get_provider_name()) -- prints "default"
local c = assert(cipher.new("aes256", "fips=yes"))
print(c:get_provider_name()) -- prints "fips"
```
[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)
### openssl.get_fips_version_text
**syntax**: *text, err = openssl.get_fips_version_text()*
Returns the version text of the FIPS module, only available on OpenSSL 3.x.
[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)
### openssl.set_default_properties
**syntax**: *ok, err = openssl.set_default_properties(props)*
Sets the default properties for all future EVP algorithm fetches, implicit as well as explicit. See "ALGORITHM FETCHING" in crypto(7) for information about implicit and explicit fetching.
[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)
### openssl.list_cipher_algorithms
**syntax**: *ret = openssl.list_cipher_algorithms(hide_provider?)*
Return available cipher algorithms in an array. Set `hide_provider` to `true` to
hide provider name from the result.
[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)
### openssl.list_digest_algorithms
**syntax**: *ret = openssl.list_digest_algorithms(hide_provider?)*
Return available digest algorithms in an array. Set `hide_provider` to `true` to
hide provider name from the result.
[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)
### openssl.list_mac_algorithms
**syntax**: *ret = openssl.list_mac_algorithms(hide_provider?)*
Return available MAC algorithms in an array. Set `hide_provider` to `true` to
hide provider name from the result.
[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)
### openssl.list_kdf_algorithms
**syntax**: *ret = openssl.list_kdf_algorithms(hide_provider?)*
Return available KDF algorithms in an array. Set `hide_provider` to `true` to
hide provider name from the result.
[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)
### openssl.list_ssl_ciphers
**syntax**: *cipher_string, err = openssl.list_ssl_ciphers(cipher_list?, ciphersuites?, protocol?)*
Return default SSL ciphers as a string. `cipher_list` (prior TLSv1.3) and
`ciphersuites` (TLSv1.3) can be used to expand the cipher settings matches
`protocol`.
```lua
openssl.list_ssl_ciphers()
openssl.list_ssl_ciphers("ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA")
openssl.list_ssl_ciphers("ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA", nil, "TLSv1.2")
openssl.list_ssl_ciphers("ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA", "TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256", "TLSv1.3")
```
[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)
## resty.openssl.ctx
A module to provide OSSL_LIB_CTX context switches.
OSSL_LIB_CTX is an internal OpenSSL library context type. Applications may allocate their own, but may also use NULL to use a default context with functions that take an OSSL_LIB_CTX argument.
See [OSSL_LIB_CTX.3](#https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/man3/OSSL_LIB_CTX.html) for deeper
reading.
The context is currently effective following modules:
- [cipher](#restyopensslcipher)
- [digest](#restyopenssldigest)
- [kdf](#restyopensslkdf)
- [mac](#restyopensslmac)
- [pkcs12.encode](#pkcs12encode)
- [pkey](#restyopensslpkey)
- [provider](#restyopensslprovider)
- [rand](#restyopensslrand)
- [x509](#restyopensslx509), [x509.csr](#restyopensslx509csr), [x509.crl](#restyopensslx509crl) and some [x509.store](#restyopensslx509store) functions
This module is only available on OpenSSL 3.0 or later.
[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)
### ctx.new
**syntax**: *ok, err = ctx.new(request_context_only?, conf_file?)*
Create a new context and use as default context for this module. When
`request_context_only` is set to true, the context is only used inside current
request's context. `conf_file` can optionally specify an OpenSSL conf file
to create the context.
The created context is automatically freed with its given lifecycle.

## resty.openssl.err
A module to provide error messages.
[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)
### err.format_error
**syntax**: *msg = err.format_error(ctx_msg?, return_code?, all_errors?)*
**syntax**: *msg = err.format_all_errors(ctx_msg?, return_code?)*
Return the latest error message from the last error code. Errors are formatted as:
[ctx_msg]: code: [return_code]: error:[error code]:[library name]:[func name]:[reason string]:[file name]:[line number]:
On OpenSSL prior to 3.x, errors are formatted as:
[ctx_msg]: code: [return_code]: [file name]:[line number]:error:[error code]:[library name]:[func name]:[reason string]:
If `all_errors` is set to `true`, all errors no just the latest one will be returned in a single string. All errors thrown
by this library internally only thrown the latest error.
For example:
```lua
local f = io.open("t/fixtures/ec_key_encrypted.pem"):read("*a")
local privkey, err = require("resty.openssl.pkey").new(f, {
format = "PEM",
type = "pr",
passphrase = "wrongpasswrod",
})
ngx.say(err)

## resty.openssl.provider
Module to interact with providers. This module only work on OpenSSL >= 3.0.0.
[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)
### provider.load
**syntax**: *pro, err = provider.load(name, try?)*
Load provider with `name`. If `try` is set to true, OpenSSL will not disable the
fall-back providers if the provider cannot be loaded and initialized. If the provider
loads successfully, however, the fall-back providers are disabled.
By default this functions loads provider into the default context, meaning it will affect
other applications in the same process using the default context as well. If such behaviour
is not desired, consider using [ctx](#restyopensslctx) to load
provider only to limited scope.
[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)
### provider.istype

## resty.openssl.pkey
Module to interact with private keys and public keys (EVP_PKEY).
Each key type may only support part of operations:
Key Type | Load existing key | Key generation | Encrypt/Decrypt | Sign/Verify | Key Exchange |
---------|----------|----------------|-----------------|-------------|---------- |
RSA| Y | Y | Y | Y | |
DH | Y | Y | | | Y |
EC | Y | Y | | Y (ECDSA) | Y (ECDH) |
Ed25519 | Y | Y | | Y (PureEdDSA) | |
X25519 | Y | Y | | | Y (ECDH) |
Ed448 | Y | Y | | Y (PureEdDSA) | |
X448 | Y | Y | | | Y (ECDH) |
Direct support of encryption and decryption for EC and ECX does not exist, but
processes like ECIES is possible with [pkey:derive](#pkeyderive),
[kdf](#restyopensslkdf) and [cipher](#restyopensslcipher)
[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)
### pkey.new
#### Load existing key
**syntax**: *pk, err = pkey.new(string, opts?)*
Supports loading a private or public key in PEM, DER or JWK format passed as first argument `string`.
The second parameter `opts` accepts an optional table to constraint the behaviour of key loading.
- `opts.format`: set explictly to `"PEM"`, `"DER"`, `"JWK"` to load specific format or set to `"*"` for auto detect
- `opts.type`: set explictly to `"pr"` for privatekey, `"pu"` for public key; set to `"*"` for auto detect
When loading a PEM encoded RSA key, it can either be a PKCS#8 encoded
`SubjectPublicKeyInfo`/`PrivateKeyInfo` or a PKCS#1 encoded `RSAPublicKey`/`RSAPrivateKey`.
When loading a encrypted PEM encoded key, the `passphrase` to decrypt it can either be set
in `opts.passphrase` or `opts.passphrase_cb`:
```lua
pkey.new(pem_or_der_text, {
format = "*", -- choice of "PEM", "DER", "JWK" or "*" for auto detect
type = "*", -- choice of "pr" for privatekey, "pu" for public key and "*" for auto detect
passphrase = "secret password", -- the PEM encryption passphrase
passphrase_cb = function()
return "secret password"
end, -- the PEM encryption passphrase callback function
}
```
When loading JWK, there are couple of caveats:
- Make sure the encoded JSON text is passed in, it must have been base64 decoded.
- When using OpenSSL 1.1.1 or lua-resty-openssl earlier than 1.6.0, constraint `type`
on JWK key is only supported on OpenSSL 3.x and lua-resty-openssl 1.6.0.
Otherwise the parameters in provided JSON will decide if a private or public key is loaded,
specifying `type` will result in an error; also public key part for `OKP` keys (the `x` parameter)
is not honored and derived from private key part (the `d` parameter) if it's specified.
- Only key type of `RSA`, `P-256`, `P-384` and `P-512` `EC`,
`Ed25519`, `X25519`, `Ed448` and `X448` `OKP` keys are supported.
- Signatures and verification must use `ecdsa_use_raw` option to work with JWS standards
for EC keys. See [pkey:sign](#pkeysign) and [pkey.verify](#pkeyverify) for detail.
- When running outside of OpenResty, needs to install a JSON library (`cjson` or `dkjson`)
and `basexx`.
[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)
#### Key generation
**syntax**: *pk, err = pkey.new(config?)*
Generate a new public key or private key.
To generate RSA key, `config` table can have `bits` and `exp` field to control key generation.
When `config` is emitted, this function generates a 2048 bit RSA key with `exponent` of 65537,
which is equivalent to:
```lua
local key, err = pkey.new({
type = 'RSA',
bits = 2048,
exp = 65537
})
```
To generate EC or DH key, please refer to [pkey.paramgen](#pkeyparamgen) for possible values of
`config` table. For example:
```lua
local key, err = pkey.new({
type = 'EC',
curve = 'prime256v1',
})
```
It's also possible to pass a PEM-encoded EC or DH parameters to `config.param` for key generation:
```lua
local dhparam = pkey.paramgen({
type = 'DH',
group = 'dh_1024_160'
})
-- OR
-- local dhparam = io.read("dhparams.pem"):read("*a")
local key, err = pkey.new({
type = 'DH',
param = dhparam,
})
```
It's also possible to pass raw pkeyopt control strings in `config` table as used in the `genpkey` CLI program.
See [openssl-genpkey(1)](https://www.openssl.org/docs/man3.0/man1/openssl-genpkey.html) for a list of options.
For example:
```lua
pkey.new({
type = 'RSA',
bits = 2048,
exp = 65537,
})
-- is same as
pkey.new({
type = 'RSA',
exp = 65537,
"rsa_keygen_bits:4096",
})
```

#### Key composition
**syntax**: *pk, err = pkey.new(config?)*
Compose a public or private key using existing parameters. To see
list of parameters for each key, refer to [pkey:set_parameters](#pkeyset_parameters).
Only `type` and `params` should exist in `config` table, all other keys will be ignored.
```lua
local private_bn = require "resty.openssl.bn".new("7F48282CCA4C1A65D589C06DBE9C42AE50FBFFDF3A18CBB48498E1DE47F11BE1A3486CD8FA950D68F111970F922279D8", 16)
local p_384, err = assert(require("resty.openssl.pkey").new({
type = "EC",
params = {
private = private_bn,
group = "secp384r1",
}
}))
```

### pkey:is_private
**syntax**: *ok = pk:is_private()*
Checks whether `pk` is a private key. Returns true if it's a private key, returns false if
it's a public key.
[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)
### pkey:get_key_type
**syntax**: *obj, err = pk:get_key_type(nid_only?)*
Returns a ASN1_OBJECT of key type of the private key as a table.
Starting from lua-resty-openssl 1.6.0, an optional argument `nid_only` can be set to `true`
to only return the numeric NID of the key.
```lua
local pkey, err = require("resty.openssl.pkey").new({type="X448"})
ngx.say(require("cjson").encode(pkey:get_key_type()))
-- outputs '{"ln":"X448","nid":1035,"sn":"X448","id":"1.3.101.111"}'
ngx.say(pkey:get_key_type(true))
-- outputs 1035
```
[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)
### pkey:get_size
**syntax**: *size, err = pk:get_size()*
Returns the maximum suitable size for the output buffers for almost all
operations that can be done with pkey.
For RSA key, this is the size of the modulus.
For EC, Ed25519 and Ed448 keys, this is the size of the private key.
For DH key, this is the size of the prime modulus.
[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)
### pkey:get_default_digest_type
**syntax**: *obj, err = pk:get_default_digest_type()*
Returns a ASN1_OBJECT of key type of the private key as a table. An additional field `mandatory` is also
returned in the table, if `mandatory` is true then other digests can not be used.
```lua
local pkey, err = require("resty.openssl.pkey").new()
ngx.say(require("cjson").encode(pkey:get_default_digest_type()))
-- outputs '{"ln":"sha256","nid":672,"id":"2.16.840.1.101.3.4.2.1","mandatory":false,"sn":"SHA256"}'
```
[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)
### pkey:sign
**syntax**: *signature, err = pk:sign(digest)*
**syntax**: *signature, err = pk:sign(message, md_alg?, padding?, opts?)*
Perform a digest signing using the private key defined in `pkey`
instance. The first parameter must be a [resty.openssl.digest](#restyopenssldigest)
instance or a string. Returns the signed text and error if any.
When passing a [digest](#restyopenssldigest) instance as first parameter, it should not
have been called [final()](#digestfinal), user should only use [update()](#digestupdate).
This mode only supports RSA and EC keys.
When passing a string as first parameter, `md_alg` parameter will specify the name
to use when signing. When `md_alg` is undefined, for RSA and EC keys, this function does SHA256
by default. For Ed25519 or Ed448 keys, this function does a PureEdDSA signing,
no message digest should be specified and will not be used.
For RSA key, it's also possible to specify `padding` scheme with following choices:
```lua
pkey.PADDINGS = {
RSA_PKCS1_PADDING = 1,
RSA_SSLV23_PADDING = 2,
RSA_NO_PADDING = 3,
RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING = 4,
RSA_X931_PADDING = 5, -- sign only
RSA_PKCS1_PSS_PADDING = 6, -- sign and verify only
}
```
When `padding` is `RSA_PKCS1_PSS_PADDING`, it's
possible to specify PSS salt length by setting `opts.pss_saltlen`.
For EC key, this function does a ECDSA signing.
Note that OpenSSL does not support EC digital signature (ECDSA) with the
obsolete MD5 hash algorithm and will return error on this combination. See
[EVP_DigestSign(3)](https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/man3/EVP_DigestSign.html)
for a list of algorithms and associated public key algorithms. Normally, the ECDSA signature
is encoded in ASN.1 DER format. If the `opts` table contains a `ecdsa_use_raw` field with
a true value, a binary with just the concatenation of binary representation `pr` and `ps` is returned.
This is useful for example to send the signature as JWS.
`opts` is a table that accepts additional parameters with following choices:
```
{
pss_saltlen, -- For PSS mode only this option specifies the salt length.
mgf1_md, -- For PSS and OAEP padding sets the MGF1 digest. If the MGF1 digest is not explicitly set in PSS mode then the signing digest is used.
oaep_md, -- The digest used for the OAEP hash function. If not explicitly set then SHA1 is used.
}
```
It's also possible to pass raw pkeyopt control strings as used in the `pkeyutl` CLI program. This lets user pass in options that
are not explictly supported as parameters above.
See [openssl-pkeyutl(1)](https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/man1/openssl-pkeyutl.html) for a list of options.
```lua
pk:sign(message, nil, pk.PADDINGS.RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING, {
oaep_md = "sha256",
})
-- is same as
pk:sign(message, nil, nil, {
"rsa_padding_mode:oaep",
"rsa_oaep_md:sha256",
})
-- in pkeyutl CLI the above is equivalent to: `openssl pkeyutl -sign -pkeyopt rsa_padding_mode:oaep -pkeyopt rsa_oaep_md:sha256
```
To sign a message without doing message digest, please check [pkey:sign_raw](#pkeysign_raw).
[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)
### pkey:verify
**syntax**: *ok, err = pk:verify(signature, digest)*
**syntax**: *ok, err = pk:verify(signature, message, md_alg?, padding?, opts?)*
Verify a signture (which can be the string returned by [pkey:sign](#pkey-sign)). The second
argument must be a [resty.openssl.digest](#restyopenssldigest) instance that uses
the same digest algorithm as used in `sign` or a string. `ok` returns `true` if verficiation is
successful and `false` otherwise. Note when verfication failed `err` will not be set when used
with OpenSSL 1.1.1 or lower.
When passing [digest](#restyopenssldigest) instances as second parameter, it should not
have been called [final()](#digestfinal), user should only use [update()](#digestupdate).
This mode only supports RSA and EC keys.
When passing a string as second parameter, `md_alg` parameter will specify the name
to use when verifying. When `md_alg` is undefined, for RSA and EC keys, this function does SHA256
by default. For Ed25519 or Ed448 keys, this function does a PureEdDSA verification,
no message digest should be specified and will not be used.
When key is a RSA key, the function accepts an optional argument `padding` which choices
of values are same as those in [pkey:sign](#pkeysign). When `padding` is `RSA_PKCS1_PSS_PADDING`, it's
possible to specify PSS salt length by setting `opts.pss_saltlen`.
For EC key, this function does a ECDSA verification. Normally, the ECDSA signature
should be encoded in ASN.1 DER format. If the `opts` table contains a `ecdsa_use_raw` field with
a true value, this library treat `signature` as concatenation of binary representation `pr` and `ps`.
This is useful for example to verify the signature as JWS.
`opts` is a table that accepts additional parameters which choices
of values are same as those in [pkey:sign](#pkeysign).
```lua
-- RSA and EC keys
local pk, err = require("resty.openssl.pkey").new()
local digest, err = require("resty.openssl.digest").new("SHA256")
digest:update("dog")
-- WRONG:
-- digest:final("dog")
local signature, err = pk:sign(digest)
-- uses SHA256 by default
local signature, err = pk:sign("dog")
ngx.say(ngx.encode_base64(signature))
-- uses SHA256 and PSS padding
local signature_pss, err = pk:sign("dog", "sha256", pk.PADDINGS.RSA_PKCS1_PSS_PADDING)
digest, err = require("resty.openssl.digest").new("SHA256")
digest:update("dog")
local ok, err = pk:verify(signature, digest)
-- uses SHA256 by default
local ok, err = pk:verify(signature, "dog")
-- uses SHA256 and PSS padding
local ok, err = pk:verify(signature_pss, "dog", "sha256", pk.PADDINGS.RSA_PKCS1_PSS_PADDING)
-- Ed25519 and Ed448 keys
local pk, err = require("resty.openssl.pkey").new({
type = "Ed25519",
})
local signature, err = pk:sign("23333")
ngx.say(ngx.encode_base64(signature))
```

[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)
### pkey:encrypt
**syntax**: *cipher_txt, err = pk:encrypt(txt, padding?, opts?)*
Encrypts plain text `txt` with `pkey` instance, which must loaded a public key.
The optional second argument `padding` has same meaning as in [pkey:sign](#pkeysign).

[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)
### bn:is_prime
**syntax**: *ok, err = bn:is_prime(nchecks?)*
Checks if `bn` is a prime number. Returns `true` if it is prime with an
error probability of less than 0.25^`nchecks` and error if any. If omitted,
`nchecks` is set to 0 which means to select number of iterations basedon the
size of the number
> This function perform a Miller-Rabin probabilistic primality test with nchecks iterations. If nchecks == BN_prime_checks (0), a number of iterations is used that yields a false positive rate of at most 2^-64 for random input. The error rate depends on the size of the prime and goes down for bigger primes. The rate is 2^-80 starting at 308 bits, 2^-112 at 852 bits, 2^-128 at 1080 bits, 2^-192 at 3747 bits and 2^-256 at 6394 bits.
> When the source of the prime is not random or not trusted, the number of checks needs to be much higher to reach the same level of assurance: It should equal half of the targeted security level in bits (rounded up to the next integer if necessary). For instance, to reach the 128 bit security level, nchecks should be set to 64.

### cipher.new
**syntax**: *d, err = cipher.new(cipher_name, properties?)*
Creates a cipher instance. `cipher_name` is a case-insensitive string of cipher algorithm name.
To view a list of cipher algorithms implemented, use
[openssl.list_cipher_algorithms](#openssllist_cipher_algorithms)
or `openssl list -cipher-algorithms`
Staring from OpenSSL 3.0, this function accepts an optional `properties` parameter
to explictly select provider to fetch algorithms.
[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)
### cipher.istype
**syntax**: *ok = cipher.istype(table)*
Returns `true` if table is an instance of `cipher`. Returns `false` otherwise.
[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)
### cipher.set_buffer_size
**syntax**: *ok = cipher.set_buffer_size(sz)*
Resize the internal buffer size used by all cipher instance. The default buffer size is 1024 bytes.
If you are expecting to pass input text larger than 1024 bytes at one time to `update()`, `encrypt()`
or `decrypt()`, setting the buffer to larger than the expected input size will improve performance
by let more code to be JIT-able.
Avoid call this function at hotpath, as this re-allocate the buffer every time it's called.

### cipher:encrypt
**syntax**: *s, err = cipher:encrypt(key, iv?, s, no_padding?, aead_aad?)*
Encrypt the text `s` with key `key` and IV `iv`. Returns the encrypted text in raw binary string
and error if any.
Optionally accepts a boolean `no_padding` which tells the cipher to enable or disable padding and default
to `false` (enable padding). If `no_padding` is `true`, the length of `s` must then be a multiple of the
block size or an error will occur.
When using GCM or CCM mode or `chacha20-poly1305` cipher, it's also possible to pass
the Additional Authenticated Data (AAD) as the fifth argument.
This function is a shorthand of `cipher:init`, `cipher:set_aead_aad` (if appliable) then `cipher:final`.
[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)
### cipher:decrypt
**syntax**: *s, err = cipher:decrypt(key, iv?, s, no_padding?, aead_aad?, aead_tag?)*
Decrypt the text `s` with key `key` and IV `iv`. Returns the decrypted text in raw binary string
and error if any.
Optionally accepts a boolean `no_padding` which tells the cipher to enable or disable padding and default
to `false` (enable padding). If `no_padding` is `true`, the length of `s` must then be a multiple of the
block size or an error will occur; also, padding in the decrypted text will not be removed.
When using GCM or CCM mode or `chacha20-poly1305` cipher, it's also possible to pas
the Additional Authenticated Data (AAD) as the fifth argument and authentication tag
as the sixth argument.
This function is a shorthand of `cipher:init`, `cipher:set_aead_aad` (if appliable),
`cipher:set_aead_tag` (if appliable) then `cipher:final`.
[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)
### cipher:init
**syntax**: *ok, err = cipher:init(key, iv?, opts?)*
Initialize the cipher with key `key` and IV `iv`. The optional third argument is a table consists of:
```lua
{
is_encrypt = false,
no_padding = false,
}
```
Calling function is needed before [cipher:update](#restycipherupdate) and
[cipher:final](#restycipherfinal) if the cipher is not being initialized already. But not
[cipher:encrypt](#restycipherencrypt) and [cipher:decrypt](#restycipherdecrypt).
If you wish to reuse `cipher` instance multiple times, calling this function is necessary
to clear the internal state of the cipher. The shorthand functions
[cipher:encrypt](#restycipherencrypt) and [cipher:decrypt](#restycipherdecrypt)
already take care of initialization and reset.
[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)
### cipher:update
**syntax**: *s, err = cipher:update(partial, ...)*
Updates the cipher with one or more strings. If the cipher has larger than block size of data to flush,

[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)
### cipher:set_aead_tag
**syntax**: *ok, err = cipher:set_aead_tag(tag)*
Set the authentication tag of cipher with `tag`.
This function can only be called before decryption starts.
[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)
### cipher:final
**syntax**: *s, err = cipher:final(partial?)*
Returns the encrypted or decrypted text in raw binary string, optionally accept one string to encrypt or decrypt.
```lua
-- encryption
local c, err = require("resty.openssl.cipher").new("aes256")
c:init(string.rep("0", 32), string.rep("0", 16), {
is_encrypt = true,
})
c:update("🦢")
local cipher, err = c:final()
ngx.say(ngx.encode_base64(cipher))
-- outputs "vGJRHufPYrbbnYYC0+BnwQ=="
-- OR:
local c, err = require("resty.openssl.cipher").new("aes256")
local cipher, err = c:encrypt(string.rep("0", 32), string.rep("0", 16), "🦢")
ngx.say(ngx.encode_base64(cipher))

local cipher, err = c:decrypt(string.rep("0", 32), string.rep("0", 16), encrypted)
ngx.say(cipher)
-- outputs "🦢"
```
**Note:** in some implementations like `libsodium` or Java, AEAD ciphers append the `tag` (or `MAC`)
at the end of encrypted ciphertext. In such case, user will need to manually cut off the `tag`
with correct size(usually 16 bytes) and pass in the ciphertext and `tag` seperately.
See [examples/aes-gcm-aead.lua](https://github.com/fffonion/lua-resty-openssl/blob/master/examples/aes-gcm-aead.lua)
for an example to use AEAD modes with authentication.

### cipher:derive
**syntax**: *key, iv, err = cipher:derive(key, salt?, count?, md?)*
Derive a key and IV (if appliable) from given material that can be used in current cipher. This function
is useful mainly to work with keys that were already derived from same algorithm. Newer applications should
use a more modern algorithm such as PBKDF2 provided by [kdf.derive](#kdfderive).
`count` is the iteration count to perform. If it's omitted, it's set to `1`. Note the recent version of
`openssl enc` cli tool automatically use PBKDF2 if `-iter` is set to larger than 1,
while this function will not. To use PBKDF2 to derive a key, please refer to [kdf.derive](#kdfderive).
`md` is the message digest name to use, it can take one of the values `md2`, `md5`, `sha` or `sha1`.
If it's omitted, it's default to `sha1`.
```lua
local cipher = require("resty.openssl.cipher").new("aes-128-cfb")

For all extensions, `get_{extension}_critical` and `set_{extension}_critical` is also supported to
access the `critical` flag of the extension.
If the attribute is not found, getter will return `nil, nil`.
```lua
local x509, err = require("resty.openssl.x509").new()
err = x509:set_not_before(ngx.time())
local not_before, err = x509:get_not_before()
ngx.say(not_before)
-- outputs 1571875065
err = x509:set_basic_constraints_critical(true)
```
If type is a table, setter requires a table with case-insensitive keys to set;
getter returns the value of the given case-insensitive key or a table of all keys if no key provided.
```lua
local x509, err = require("resty.openssl.x509").new()
err = x509:set_basic_constraints({
cA = false,
pathlen = 0,
})
ngx.say(x509:get_basic_constraints("pathlen"))
-- outputs 0
ngx.say(x509:get_basic_constraints())
-- outputs '{"ca":false,"pathlen":0}'
```
Note that user may also access the certain extension by [x509:get_extension](#x509get_extension) and
[x509:set_extension](#x509set_extension), while the later two function returns or requires
[extension](#restyopensslx509extension) instead. User may use getter and setters listed here if modification
of current extensions is needed; use [x509:get_extension](#x509get_extension) or
[x509:set_extension](#x509set_extension) if user are adding or replacing the whole extension or
getters/setters are not implemented. If the getter returned a type of `x509.*` instance, it can be
converted to a [extension](#restyopensslx509extension) instance by [extension:from_data](#extensionfrom_data),
and thus used by [x509:get_extension](#x509get_extension) and [x509:set_extension](#x509set_extension)

[resty.openssl.x509.extension](#restyopensslx509extension) instance.
The difference from [x509:add_extension](#x509add_extension) is that
in this function if a `extension` with same type already exists,
the old extension will be replaced.
If `last_pos` is defined, the function replaces the same extension from that position;
otherwise it finds from beginning. Index is 1-based. Returns `nil, nil` if not found.
Note this function is not thread-safe.

**syntax**: *ok, err = x509:get_extension_critical(nid_or_txt)*
Get critical flag of the X.509 `extension` matching the given [NID] from certificate.
[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)
### x509:set_extension_critical
**syntax**: *ok, err = x509:set_extension_critical(nid_or_txt, crit?)*
Set critical flag of the X.509 `extension` matching the given [NID] to certificate.

### x509:get_ocsp_url
**syntax**: *url_or_urls, err = x509:get_ocsp_url(return_all?)*
Get OCSP URL(s) of the X.509 object. If `return_all` is set to true, returns a table
containing all OCSP URLs; otherwise returns a string with first OCSP URL found.
Returns `nil` if the extension is not found.

### x509:get_crl_url
**syntax**: *url_or_urls, err = x509:get_crl_url(return_all?)*
Get CRL URL(s) of the X.509 object. If `return_all` is set to true, returns a table
containing all CRL URLs; otherwise returns a string with first CRL URL found.
Returns `nil` if the extension is not found.

### x509:sign
**syntax**: *ok, err = x509:sign(pkey, digest?)*
Sign the certificate using the private key specified by `pkey`, which must be a
[resty.openssl.pkey](#restyopensslpkey) that stores private key. Optionally accept `digest`
parameter to set digest method, whichmust be a [resty.openssl.digest](#restyopenssldigest) instance.
Returns a boolean indicating if signing is successful and error if any.

### x509:verify
**syntax**: *ok, err = x509:verify(pkey)*
Verify the certificate signature using the public key specified by `pkey`, which
must be a [resty.openssl.pkey](#restyopensslpkey). Returns a boolean indicating if
verification is successful and error if any.

### x509:tostring
**syntax**: *str, err = x509:tostring(fmt?)*
Outputs certificate in PEM-formatted text or DER-formatted binary.
The first argument can be a choice of `PEM` or `DER`; when omitted, this function outputs PEM by default.
[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)
### x509:to_PEM
**syntax**: *pem, err = x509:to_PEM()*
Outputs the certificate in PEM-formatted text.

## resty.openssl.x509.csr
Module to interact with certificate signing request (X509_REQ).
See [examples/csr.lua](https://github.com/fffonion/lua-resty-openssl/blob/master/examples/csr.lua)
for an example to generate CSR.
[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)
### csr.new
**syntax**: *csr, err = csr.new(txt?, fmt?, properties?)*
Create an empty `csr` instance. `txt` can be **PEM** or **DER** formatted text;
`fmt` is a choice of `PEM`, `DER` to load specific format, or `*` for auto detect.
When `txt` is omitted, `new()` creates an empty `csr` instance.
Staring from OpenSSL 3.0, this function accepts an optional `properties` parameter
to explictly select provider to fetch algorithms.

### csr.istype
**syntax**: *ok = csr.istype(table)*
Returns `true` if table is an instance of `csr`. Returns `false` otherwise.
[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)
### csr:check_private_key
**syntax**: *match, err = csr:check_private_key(pkey)*
Checks the consistency of private key `pkey` with the public key in current CSR object.
Returns a boolean indicating if it's a match and err describing the reason.
Note this function also checks if k itself is indeed a private key or not.

### csr:get_\*, csr:set_\*
**syntax**: *ok, err = csr:set_**attribute**(instance)*
**syntax**: *instance, err = csr:get_**attribute**()*
Setters and getters for x509 attributes share the same syntax.
| Attribute name | Type | Description |
| ------------ | ---- | ----------- |
| pubkey | [pkey](#restyopensslpkey) | Public key of the certificate request |
| subject_name | [x509.name](#restyopensslx509name) | Subject of the certificate request |
| version | number | Version of the certificate request, value is one less than version. For example, `2` represents `version 3` |
Additionally, getters and setters for extensions are also available:
| Extension name | Type | Description |
| ------------ | ---- | ----------- |
| subject_alt_name | [x509.altname](#restyopensslx509altname) | [Subject Alternative Name](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5280#section-4.2.1.6) of the certificate request, SANs are usually used to define "additional Common Names" |
For all extensions, `get_{extension}_critical` and `set_{extension}_critical` is also supported to
access the `critical` flag of the extension.
If the attribute is not found, getter will return `nil, nil`.
```lua
local csr, err = require("resty.openssl.csr").new()
err = csr:set_version(3)
local version, err = csr:get_version()
ngx.say(version)
-- outputs 3
```
Note that user may also access the certain extension by [csr:get_extension](#csrget_extension) and
[csr:set_extension](#csrset_extension), while the later two function returns or requires
[extension](#restyopensslx509extension) instead. User may use getter and setters listed here if modification
of current extensions is needed; use [csr:get_extension](#csrget_extension) or
[csr:set_extension](#csrset_extension) if user are adding or replacing the whole extension or
getters/setters are not implemented. If the getter returned a type of `x509.*` instance, it can be
converted to a [extension](#restyopensslx509extension) instance by [extension:from_data](#extensionfrom_data),
and thus used by [cs
