These objects act as containers for implementations of cryptographic algorithms, and support a reference-counted mechanism to allow them to be dynamically loaded in and out of the running application. .PP The cryptographic functionality that can be provided by an \fB\s-1ENGINE\s0\fR implementation includes the following abstractions; .PP .Vb 6 \& RSA_METHOD \- for providing alternative RSA implementations \& DSA_METHOD, DH_METHOD, RAND_METHOD, ECDH_METHOD, ECDSA_METHOD, \& \- similarly for other OpenSSL APIs \& EVP_CIPHER \- potentially multiple cipher algorithms (indexed by \*(Aqnid\*(Aq) \& EVP_DIGEST \- potentially multiple hash algorithms (indexed by \*(Aqnid\*(Aq) \& key\-loading \- loading public and/or private EVP_PKEY keys .Ve .SS "Reference counting and handles" .IX Subsection "Reference counting and handles" Due to the modular nature of the \s-1ENGINE API,\s0 pointers to ENGINEs need to be treated as handles \- i.e. not only as pointers, but also as references to the underlying \s-1ENGINE\s0 object. Ie. one should obtain a new reference when making copies of an \s-1ENGINE\s0 pointer if the copies will be used (and released) independently. .PP \&\s-1ENGINE\s0 objects have two levels of reference-counting to match the way in which the objects are used. At the most basic level, each \s-1ENGINE\s0 pointer is inherently a \fBstructural\fR reference \- a structural reference is required to use the pointer value at all, as this kind of reference is a guarantee that the structure can not be deallocated until the reference is released. .PP However, a structural reference provides no guarantee that the \s-1ENGINE\s0 is initialised and able to use any of its cryptographic implementations. Indeed it's quite possible that most ENGINEs will not initialise at all in typical environments, as ENGINEs are typically used to support specialised hardware. To use an \s-1ENGINE\s0's functionality, you need a \&\fBfunctional\fR reference. This kind of reference can be considered a specialised form of structural reference, because each functional reference implicitly contains a structural reference as well \- however to avoid difficult-to-find programming bugs, it is recommended to treat the two kinds of reference independently. If you have a functional reference to an \&\s-1ENGINE,\s0 you have a guarantee that the \s-1ENGINE\s0 has been initialised and is ready to perform cryptographic operations, and will remain initialised until after you have released your reference. .PP \&\fIStructural references\fR .PP This basic type of reference is used for instantiating new ENGINEs, iterating across OpenSSL's internal linked-list of loaded ENGINEs, reading information about an \s-1ENGINE,\s0 etc. Essentially a structural reference is sufficient if you only need to query or manipulate the data of an \s-1ENGINE\s0 implementation rather than use its functionality. .PP The \fBENGINE_new()\fR function returns a structural reference to a new (empty) \&\s-1ENGINE\s0 object. There are other \s-1ENGINE API\s0 functions that return structural references such as; \fBENGINE_by_id()\fR, \fBENGINE_get_first()\fR, \fBENGINE_get_last()\fR, \&\fBENGINE_get_next()\fR, \fBENGINE_get_prev()\fR. All structural references should be released by a corresponding to call to the \fBENGINE_free()\fR function \- the \&\s-1ENGINE\s0 object itself will only actually be cleaned up and deallocated when the last structural reference is released. .PP It should also be noted that many \s-1ENGINE API\s0 function calls that accept a structural reference will internally obtain another reference \- typically this happens whenever the supplied \s-1ENGINE\s0 will be needed by OpenSSL after the function has returned. Eg. the function to add a new \s-1ENGINE\s0 to OpenSSL's internal list is \fBENGINE_add()\fR \- if this function returns success, then OpenSSL will have stored a new structural reference internally so the caller is still responsible for freeing their own reference with \&\fBENGINE_free()\fR when they are finished with it. In a similar way, some functions will automatically release the structural reference passed to it if part of the function's job is to do so. Eg. the \fBENGINE_get_next()\fR and \&\fBENGINE_get_prev()\fR functions are used for iterating across the internal \&\s-1ENGINE\s0 list \- they will return a new structural reference to the next (or previous) \s-1ENGINE\s0 in the list or \s-1NULL\s0 if at the end (or beginning) of the list, but in either case the structural reference passed to the function is released on behalf of the caller. .PP To clarify a particular function's handling of references, one should always consult that function's documentation \*(L"man\*(R" page, or failing that the openssl/engine.h header file includes some hints. .PP \&\fIFunctional references\fR .PP As mentioned, functional references exist when the cryptographic functionality of an \s-1ENGINE\s0 is required to be available. A functional reference can be obtained in one of two ways; from an existing structural reference to the required \s-1ENGINE,\s0 or by asking OpenSSL for the default operational \s-1ENGINE\s0 for a given cryptographic purpose. .PP To obtain a functional reference from an existing structural reference, call the \fBENGINE_init()\fR function. This returns zero if the \s-1ENGINE\s0 was not already operational and couldn't be successfully initialised (e.g. lack of system drivers, no special hardware attached, etc), otherwise it will return nonzero to indicate that the \s-1ENGINE\s0 is now operational and will have allocated a new \fBfunctional\fR reference to the \s-1ENGINE.\s0 All functional references are released by calling \fBENGINE_finish()\fR (which removes the implicit structural reference as well). .PP The second way to get a functional reference is by asking OpenSSL for a default implementation for a given task, e.g. by \fBENGINE_get_default_RSA()\fR, \&\fBENGINE_get_default_cipher_engine()\fR, etc. These are discussed in the next section, though they are not usually required by application programmers as they are used automatically when creating and using the relevant algorithm-specific types in OpenSSL, such as \s-1RSA, DSA, EVP_CIPHER_CTX,\s0 etc. .SS "Default implementations" .IX Subsection "Default implementations" For each supported abstraction, the \s-1ENGINE\s0 code maintains an internal table of state to control which implementations are available for a given abstraction and which should be used by default. These implementations are registered in the tables and indexed by an 'nid' value, because abstractions like \s-1EVP_CIPHER\s0 and \s-1EVP_DIGEST\s0 support many distinct algorithms and modes, and ENGINEs can support arbitrarily many of them. In the case of other abstractions like \s-1RSA, DSA,\s0 etc, there is only one \&\*(L"algorithm\*(R" so all implementations implicitly register using the same 'nid' index. .PP When a default \s-1ENGINE\s0 is requested for a given abstraction/algorithm/mode, (e.g. when calling RSA_new_method(\s-1NULL\s0)), a \*(L"get_default\*(R" call will be made to the \&\s-1ENGINE\s0 subsystem to process the corresponding state table and return a functional reference to an initialised \s-1ENGINE\s0 whose implementation should be used. If no \s-1ENGINE\s0 should (or can) be used, it will return \s-1NULL\s0 and the caller will operate with a \s-1NULL ENGINE\s0 handle \- this usually equates to using the conventional software implementation. In the latter case, OpenSSL will from then on behave the way it used to before the \s-1ENGINE API\s0 existed. .PP Each state table has a flag to note whether it has processed this \&\*(L"get_default\*(R" query since the table was last modified, because to process this question it must iterate across all the registered ENGINEs in the table trying to initialise each of them in turn, in case one of them is operational. If it returns a functional reference to an \s-1ENGINE,\s0 it will also cache another reference to speed up processing future queries (without needing to iterate across the table). Likewise, it will cache a \s-1NULL\s0 response if no \s-1ENGINE\s0 was available so that future queries won't repeat the same iteration unless the state table changes. This behaviour can also be changed; if the \s-1ENGINE_TABLE_FLAG_NOINIT\s0 flag is set (using \&\fBENGINE_set_table_flags()\fR), no attempted initialisations will take place, instead the only way for the state table to return a non-NULL \s-1ENGINE\s0 to the \&\*(L"get_default\*(R" query will be if one is expressly set in the table. Eg. \&\fBENGINE_set_default_RSA()\fR does the same job as \fBENGINE_register_RSA()\fR except that it also sets the state table's cached response for the \*(L"get_default\*(R" query. In the case of abstractions like \s-1EVP_CIPHER,\s0 where implementations are indexed by 'nid', these flags and cached-responses are distinct for each 'nid' value. .SS "Application requirements" .IX Subsection "Application requirements" This section will explain the basic things an application programmer should support to make the most useful elements of the \s-1ENGINE\s0 functionality available to the user. The first thing to consider is whether the programmer wishes to make alternative \s-1ENGINE\s0 modules available to the application and user. OpenSSL maintains an internal linked list of \&\*(L"visible\*(R" ENGINEs from which it has to operate \- at start-up, this list is empty and in fact if an application does not call any \s-1ENGINE API\s0 calls and it uses static linking against openssl, then the resulting application binary will not contain any alternative \s-1ENGINE\s0 code at all. So the first consideration is whether any/all available \s-1ENGINE\s0 implementations should be made visible to OpenSSL \- this is controlled by calling the various \*(L"load\*(R" functions. .PP The fact that ENGINEs are made visible to OpenSSL (and thus are linked into the program and loaded into memory at run-time) does not mean they are \&\*(L"registered\*(R" or called into use by OpenSSL automatically \- that behaviour is something for the application to control. Some applications will want to allow the user to specify exactly which \s-1ENGINE\s0 they want used if any is to be used at all. Others may prefer to load all support and have OpenSSL automatically use at run-time any \s-1ENGINE\s0 that is able to successfully initialise \- i.e. to assume that this corresponds to acceleration hardware attached to the machine or some such thing. There are probably numerous other ways in which applications may prefer to handle things, so we will simply illustrate the consequences as they apply to a couple of simple cases and leave developers to consider these and the source code to openssl's builtin utilities as guides. .PP If no \s-1ENGINE API\s0 functions are called within an application, then OpenSSL will not allocate any internal resources. Prior to OpenSSL 1.1.0, however, if any ENGINEs are loaded, even if not registered or used, it was necessary to call \fBENGINE_cleanup()\fR before the program exits. .PP \&\fIUsing a specific \s-1ENGINE\s0 implementation\fR .PP Here we'll assume an application has been configured by its user or admin to want to use the \*(L"\s-1ACME\*(R" ENGINE\s0 if it is available in the version of OpenSSL the application was compiled with. If it is available, it should be used by default for all \s-1RSA, DSA,\s0 and symmetric cipher operations, otherwise OpenSSL should use its builtin software as per usual. The following code illustrates how to approach this; .PP .Vb 10 \& ENGINE *e; \& const char *engine_id = "ACME"; \& ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(); \& e = ENGINE_by_id(engine_id); \& if (!e) \& /* the engine isn\*(Aqt available */ \& return; \& if (!ENGINE_init(e)) { \& /* the engine couldn\*(Aqt initialise, release \*(Aqe\*(Aq */ \& ENGINE_free(e); \& return; \& } \& if (!ENGINE_set_default_RSA(e)) \& /* \& * This should only happen when \*(Aqe\*(Aq can\*(Aqt initialise, but the previous \& * statement suggests it did. \& */ \& abort(); \& ENGINE_set_default_DSA(e); \& ENGINE_set_default_ciphers(e); \& /* Release the functional reference from ENGINE_init() */ \& ENGINE_finish(e); \& /* Release the structural reference from ENGINE_by_id() */ \& ENGINE_free(e); .Ve .PP \&\fIAutomatically using builtin \s-1ENGINE\s0 implementations\fR .PP Here we'll assume we want to load and register all \s-1ENGINE\s0 implementations bundled with OpenSSL, such that for any cryptographic algorithm required by OpenSSL \- if there is an \s-1ENGINE\s0 that implements it and can be initialised, it should be used. The following code illustrates how this can work; .PP .Vb 4 \& /* Load all bundled ENGINEs into memory and make them visible */ \& ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(); \& /* Register all of them for every algorithm they collectively implement */ \& ENGINE_register_all_complete(); .Ve .PP That's all that's required. Eg. the next time OpenSSL tries to set up an \&\s-1RSA\s0 key, any bundled ENGINEs that implement \s-1RSA_METHOD\s0 will be passed to \&\fBENGINE_init()\fR and if any of those succeed, that \s-1ENGINE\s0 will be set as the default for \s-1RSA\s0 use from then on. .SS "Advanced configuration support" .IX Subsection "Advanced configuration support" There is a mechanism supported by the \s-1ENGINE\s0 framework that allows each \&\s-1ENGINE\s0 implementation to define an arbitrary set of configuration \&\*(L"commands\*(R" and expose them to OpenSSL and any applications based on OpenSSL. This mechanism is entirely based on the use of name-value pairs and assumes \s-1ASCII\s0 input (no unicode or \s-1UTF\s0 for now!), so it is ideal if applications want to provide a transparent way for users to provide arbitrary configuration \*(L"directives\*(R" directly to such ENGINEs. It is also possible for the application to dynamically interrogate the loaded \s-1ENGINE\s0 implementations for the names, descriptions, and input flags of their available \*(L"control commands\*(R", providing a more flexible configuration scheme. However, if the user is expected to know which \s-1ENGINE\s0 device he/she is using (in the case of specialised hardware, this goes without saying) then applications may not need to concern themselves with discovering the supported control commands and simply prefer to pass settings into ENGINEs exactly as they are provided by the user. .PP Before illustrating how control commands work, it is worth mentioning what they are typically used for. Broadly speaking there are two uses for control commands; the first is to provide the necessary details to the implementation (which may know nothing at all specific to the host system) so that it can be initialised for use. This could include the path to any driver or config files it needs to load, required network addresses, smart-card identifiers, passwords to initialise protected devices, logging information, etc etc. This class of commands typically needs to be passed to an \s-1ENGINE\s0 \fBbefore\fR attempting to initialise it, i.e. before calling \fBENGINE_init()\fR. The other class of commands consist of settings or operations that tweak certain behaviour or cause certain operations to take place, and these commands may work either before or after \fBENGINE_init()\fR, or in some cases both. \s-1ENGINE\s0 implementations should provide indications of this in the descriptions attached to builtin control commands and/or in external product documentation. .PP \&\fIIssuing control commands to an \s-1ENGINE\s0\fR .PP Let's illustrate by example; a function for which the caller supplies the name of the \s-1ENGINE\s0 it wishes to use, a table of string-pairs for use before initialisation, and another table for use after initialisation. Note that the string-pairs used for control commands consist of a command \*(L"name\*(R" followed by the command \*(L"parameter\*(R" \- the parameter could be \s-1NULL\s0 in some cases but the name can not. This function should initialise the \s-1ENGINE\s0 (issuing the \*(L"pre\*(R" commands beforehand and the \*(L"post\*(R" commands afterwards) and set it as the default for everything except \s-1RAND\s0 and then return a boolean success or failure. .PP .Vb 10 \& int generic_load_engine_fn(const char *engine_id, \& const char **pre_cmds, int pre_num, \& const char **post_cmds, int post_num) \& { \& ENGINE *e = ENGINE_by_id(engine_id); \& if (!e) return 0; \& while (pre_num\-\-) { \& if (!ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(e, pre_cmds[0], pre_cmds[1], 0)) { \& fprintf(stderr, "Failed command (%s \- %s:%s)\en", engine_id, \& pre_cmds[0], pre_cmds[1] ? pre_cmds[1] : "(NULL)"); \& ENGINE_free(e); \& return 0; \& } \& pre_cmds += 2; \& } \& if (!ENGINE_init(e)) { \& fprintf(stderr, "Failed initialisation\en"); \& ENGINE_free(e); \& return 0; \& } \& /* \& * ENGINE_init() returned a functional reference, so free the structural \& * reference from ENGINE_by_id(). \& */ \& ENGINE_free(e); \& while (post_num\-\-) { \& if (!ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(e, post_cmds[0], post_cmds[1], 0)) { \& fprintf(stderr, "Failed command (%s \- %s:%s)\en", engine_id, \& post_cmds[0], post_cmds[1] ? post_cmds[1] : "(NULL)"); \& ENGINE_finish(e); \& return 0; \& } \& post_cmds += 2; \& } \& ENGINE_set_default(e, ENGINE_METHOD_ALL & ~ENGINE_METHOD_RAND); \& /* Success */ \& return 1; \& } .Ve .PP Note that \fBENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string()\fR accepts a boolean argument that can relax the semantics of the function \- if set nonzero it will only return failure if the \s-1ENGINE\s0 supported the given command name but failed while executing it, if the \s-1ENGINE\s0 doesn't support the command name it will simply return success without doing anything. In this case we assume the user is only supplying commands specific to the given \s-1ENGINE\s0 so we set this to \&\s-1FALSE.\s0 .PP \&\fIDiscovering supported control commands\fR .PP It is possible to discover at run-time the names, numerical-ids, descriptions and input parameters of the control commands supported by an \s-1ENGINE\s0 using a structural reference. Note that some control commands are defined by OpenSSL itself and it will intercept and handle these control commands on behalf of the \&\s-1ENGINE,\s0 i.e. the \s-1ENGINE\s0's \fBctrl()\fR handler is not used for the control command. openssl/engine.h defines an index, \s-1ENGINE_CMD_BASE,\s0 that all control commands implemented by ENGINEs should be numbered from. Any command value lower than this symbol is considered a \*(L"generic\*(R" command is handled directly by the OpenSSL core routines. .PP It is using these \*(L"core\*(R" control commands that one can discover the control commands implemented by a given \s-1ENGINE,\s0 specifically the commands: .PP .Vb 9 \& ENGINE_HAS_CTRL_FUNCTION \& ENGINE_CTRL_GET_FIRST_CMD_TYPE \& ENGINE_CTRL_GET_NEXT_CMD_TYPE \& ENGINE_CTRL_GET_CMD_FROM_NAME \& ENGINE_CTRL_GET_NAME_LEN_FROM_CMD \& ENGINE_CTRL_GET_NAME_FROM_CMD \& ENGINE_CTRL_GET_DESC_LEN_FROM_CMD \& ENGINE_CTRL_GET_DESC_FROM_CMD \& ENGINE_CTRL_GET_CMD_FLAGS .Ve .PP Whilst these commands are automatically processed by the OpenSSL framework code, they use various properties exposed by each \s-1ENGINE\s0 to process these queries. An \s-1ENGINE\s0 has 3 properties it exposes that can affect how this behaves; it can supply a \fBctrl()\fR handler, it can specify \s-1ENGINE_FLAGS_MANUAL_CMD_CTRL\s0 in the \s-1ENGINE\s0's flags, and it can expose an array of control command descriptions. If an \s-1ENGINE\s0 specifies the \s-1ENGINE_FLAGS_MANUAL_CMD_CTRL\s0 flag, then it will simply pass all these \*(L"core\*(R" control commands directly to the \s-1ENGINE\s0's \fBctrl()\fR handler (and thus, it must have supplied one), so it is up to the \s-1ENGINE\s0 to reply to these \*(L"discovery\*(R" commands itself. If that flag is not set, then the OpenSSL framework code will work with the following rules: .PP .Vb 9 \& if no ctrl() handler supplied; \& ENGINE_HAS_CTRL_FUNCTION returns FALSE (zero), \& all other commands fail. \& if a ctrl() handler was supplied but no array of control commands; \& ENGINE_HAS_CTRL_FUNCTION returns TRUE, \& all other commands fail. \& if a ctrl() handler and array of control commands was supplied; \& ENGINE_HAS_CTRL_FUNCTION returns TRUE, \& all other commands proceed processing ... .Ve .PP If the \s-1ENGINE\s0's array of control commands is empty then all other commands will fail, otherwise; \s-1ENGINE_CTRL_GET_FIRST_CMD_TYPE\s0 returns the identifier of the first command supported by the \s-1ENGINE, ENGINE_GET_NEXT_CMD_TYPE\s0 takes the identifier of a command supported by the \s-1ENGINE\s0 and returns the next command identifier or fails if there are no more, \s-1ENGINE_CMD_FROM_NAME\s0 takes a string name for a command and returns the corresponding identifier or fails if no such command name exists, and the remaining commands take a command identifier and return properties of the corresponding commands. All except \&\s-1ENGINE_CTRL_GET_FLAGS\s0 return the string length of a command name or description, or populate a supplied character buffer with a copy of the command name or description. \s-1ENGINE_CTRL_GET_FLAGS\s0 returns a bitwise-OR'd mask of the following possible values: .PP .Vb 4 \& ENGINE_CMD_FLAG_NUMERIC \& ENGINE_CMD_FLAG_STRING \& ENGINE_CMD_FLAG_NO_INPUT \& ENGINE_CMD_FLAG_INTERNAL .Ve .PP If the \s-1ENGINE_CMD_FLAG_INTERNAL\s0 flag is set, then any other flags are purely informational to the caller \- this flag will prevent the command being usable for any higher-level \s-1ENGINE\s0 functions such as \fBENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string()\fR. \&\*(L"\s-1INTERNAL\*(R"\s0 commands are not intended to be exposed to text-based configuration by applications, administrations, users, etc. These can support arbitrary operations via \fBENGINE_ctrl()\fR, including passing to and/or from the control commands data of any arbitrary type. These commands are supported in the discovery mechanisms simply to allow applications to determine if an \s-1ENGINE\s0 supports certain specific commands it might want to use (e.g. application \*(L"foo\*(R" might query various ENGINEs to see if they implement \*(L"\s-1FOO_GET_VENDOR_LOGO_GIF\*(R"\s0 \- and \s-1ENGINE\s0 could therefore decide whether or not to support this \*(L"foo\*(R"\-specific extension). .SH "ENVIRONMENT" .IX Header "ENVIRONMENT" .IP "\fB\s-1OPENSSL_ENGINES\s0\fR" 4 .IX Item "OPENSSL_ENGINES" The path to the engines directory.
