Overview

  1. Install Golang and ensure that your cloned repository is in your GOPATH.

  2. Update the following information in the examples/server_test.go file.

    NOTE: This information can obtained by logging in to your IBM Cloud account and viewing your Hyper Protect Crypto Serverices (HPCS) instance and IAM information. See the GREP11 API documentation for more information about GREP11.

    // The following IBM Cloud items need to be changed prior to running the sample program
const address = "<grep11_server_address>:<port>"

var callOpts = []grpc.DialOption{
	grpc.WithTransportCredentials(credentials.NewTLS(&tls.Config{})),
	grpc.WithPerRPCCredentials(&util.IAMPerRPCCredentials{
		APIKey:   "<ibm_cloud_apikey>",
		Endpoint: "<https://<iam_ibm_cloud_endpoint>",
		Instance: "<hpcs_instance_id>",
	}),
}

  3. cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/ibm-developer/ibm-cloud-hyperprotectcrypto/golang/examples

  4. Execute the examples by issuing the command: go test -v

  5. The sample program produces output similar to the following:

    === RUN   Example_getMechanismInfo
--- PASS: Example_getMechanismInfo (0.02s)
=== RUN   Example_encryptAndDecrypt
--- PASS: Example_encryptAndDecrypt (0.03s)
=== RUN   Example_digest
--- PASS: Example_digest (0.02s)
=== RUN   Example_signAndVerifyUsingRSAKeyPair
--- PASS: Example_signAndVerifyUsingRSAKeyPair (0.66s)
=== RUN   Example_signAndVerifyUsingECDSAKeyPair
--- PASS: Example_signAndVerifyUsingECDSAKeyPair (0.04s)
=== RUN   Example_signAndVerifyToTestErrorHandling
--- PASS: Example_signAndVerifyToTestErrorHandling (0.04s)
=== RUN   Example_wrapAndUnwrapKey
--- PASS: Example_wrapAndUnwrapKey (0.65s)
=== RUN   Example_deriveKey
--- PASS: Example_deriveKey (0.11s)
=== RUN   Example_tls
--- PASS: Example_tls (0.05s)
PASS

General Function Call Workflow

GREP11 can perform encrypt, decrypt, digest, sign and verify operations. For each operation, there are a series of sub-operations or functions.

For example, the Encrypt operation consists of EncryptInit(), Encrypt(), EncryptUpdate(), EncryptFinal() and EncryptSingle() sub-operations.

GREP11 sub-operations for Encrypt:

  • EncryptInit() is used to initialize an operation

  • Encrypt() is used to encrypt data without the need to perform EncryptUpdate() or EncryptFinal() sub-operations. EncryptInit() must be run prior to the Encrypt() call

  • EncryptUpdate() is used to perform update operations as part of a multi-part operation

  • EncryptFinal() is used to perform final operations as part of a multi-part operation

  • EncryptSingle() is an IBM EP11 extension to the standard PKCS#11 specification and used to perform a single call without the need to use the Init, Update, and Final sub-operations

The following diagram shows the three calling sequence flows that can be used for Encrypt, Decrypt, Digest, Sign and Verify operations:
