NAME

XML::Compile::WSS::Sign - Base for WSS Signers

INHERITANCE

XML::Compile::WSS::Sign is extended by
  XML::Compile::WSS::Sign::RSA

SYNOPSIS

# either
use XML::Compile::WSS::Util qw/DSIG_RSA_SHA1/;
my $sign = XML::Compile::WSS::Sign->new
  ( type        => DSIG_RSA_SHA1
  , private_key => $key
  , ...
  );

# or
use XML::Compile::WSS::Sign::RSA;
my $sign = XML::Compile::WSS::Sign::RSA->new
  ( hashing     => 'SHA1'
  , private_key => $key
  , ...
  );

DESCRIPTION

Supported signers

  • RSA

Hire me to implement other signers!

METHODS

Constructors

XML::Compile::WSS::Sign->fromConfig(CONFIG, [PRIVKEY])

Try to be very flexible. CONFIG can be a HASH, which could also be passed to new() directly. But it can also be various kinds of objects.

XML::Compile::WSS::Sign->new(OPTIONS)
-Option--Default
 type    DSIG_RSA_SHA1
type => TYPE

Attributes

$obj->type()

Handlers

$obj->check(TOKEN, ref-BYTES, SIGNATURE)

Use TOKEN to check whether the BYTES (passed by reference) match the SIGNATURE. TOKEN is signer specific.

$obj->sign(ref-BYTES)

Returns a SIGNATURE

DETAILS

Signing, the generic part

The base of this whole security protocol is crypto-signing the messages, so you will always need to specify some parameters for new().

my $wss  = XML::Compile::WSS::Signature->new
  ( signer => DSIG_$algo
  , ...parameters for $algo...
  );

When the algorithm is known (see the next sections of this chapter), then the parameters will be used to produce the CODE which will do the signing.

Defend against man-in-the-middle

The signature can easily be spoofed with a man-in-the-middle attack, unless you hard-code the remote's public key.

my $wss  = XML::Compile::WSS::Signature->new
  ( ...
  , remote_token          => $token
  );
