YubiHSM Wrap is a command-line tool to create "offline wraps" for a YubiHSM 2 device.
One of the functionalities supported by the YubiHSM is to import objects under wrap. The typical use is to generate an object on one device, export it under wrap using a Wrap Key and import it to a different device which has the same Wrap Key.
At times it is also useful to be able to create those wrapped objects from a computer, so that they can be encrypted at rest and also easily sent to devices for use.
This example shows how to generate a private key using OpenSSL, wrap it to a pre-shared Wrap Key and import it on a device.
The first thing we need is a Wrap Key that we will use to wrap the
object. For this example we are going to use
00112233445566778899aabbccddeeff
We first save it to a file called wrap.key by running
$ echo -en '\x00\x11\x22\x33\x44\x55\x66\x77\x88\x99\xaa\xbb\xcc\xdd\xee\xff' >wrap.keyThe Wrap Key has to also exist on the YubiHSM. We can import it in the
device and give it Object ID 20 by running
$ yubihsm-shell -p password -a put-wrap-key -i 20 -c all --delegated all --informat bin --in wrap.keyAt this point we can use OpenSSL to generate the RSA key that we would like to wrap and import
$ openssl genrsa -out private.pemWe can now use yubihsm-wrap to produce the wrapped version of the
private key. Specifically, we will be asking for the key to have, once
imported, Object ID 30, label RSA_Key and belong to Domains 1,
2 and 5.
$ yubihsm-wrap -a rsa2048 -c sign-pkcs -d 1,2,5 --id 30 --label RSA_Key --in private.pem --wrapkey wrap.key --out private.yhwThe output file private.yhw is the wrapped version of the key and it
is ready to be imported in the device using the Wrap Key that we
stored before. The command to do that is
$ yubihsm-shell -p password -a put-wrapped --wrap-id 20 --in private.yhwWe should now be able to retrieve information about the Asymmetric Key
with Object ID 30 by running
$ yubihsm-shell -p password -a get-object-info -i 30 -t asymmetric-key
