Re: [Pki-devel] [PATCH] 198-203 patches to address multiple issues in KeyResource server and client code.

Endi, Jack and I met to discuss various improvements to the Key/KeyResource client/server parts. Some of these are addressed in the attached patches. Some will be handled in separate tickets. Separate Tickets to be filed: 1. Add nonce mechanism for approvals. 2. Add openssl subclass for CryptoUtil 3. Extend generate_session_key() to return key in same call 4. Allow CLI to call python? (to be filed as separate ticket) Done in attached patches: 5. Change kraclient.generate_sym_key -> kraclient.generate_symmetric_key and extend to allow addition of trans_wrapped_session_key. 6. Add getActiveKey() to python client. 7. client_id -> client_key_id 8. constants in python API for key status 9. Add sanity checks to python client code 10. Move functions out of KRAClient.py and into key.py 11. from_dict() -> from)json() 12. Add methods to create nss certdb and import transport cert 13. All inputs/outputs from CryptoUtil are unencoded. 14. Fix usages in main function of SymKeyGenerationRequest 15. Fix bugs when retrieving invalid keyId. 16. Fix bugs when generating key with only clientID provided. To be done in next patch: 17. Rewrite cryptoutil.generate_symmetric_key() to be more generic and provide a more restricted convenience function generate_session_key() To be considered further: 1. rename session_key -> encryption_key/ wrapping_key? 2. revamp archival to not require client to generate PkiArchiveOptions object. 3. should retrieve functions return unwrapped key? Please review attached patches. Ade
