Hi Michael:

I have a doubt about usign signed logs. I was analizing Log.pm module and I found that in "sub addMessage" this code (Log.pm - line 251):

   ## sign message if supported
   if ($self->{TOKEN}->keyOnline)
   {
       $msg->setSignature($self->{TOKEN}->sign(DATA => $msg->getXML));
   }

I need to know how can I configure OpenCA logs to allow the previous condition to be TRUE. I've already test that the signature works fine (passing the parameter PASSWD => "xxxx" to sign function) and skiping that evaluation.

A few lines below, in the same function, I found this code (Log.pm - line 266):

       ## get digest from log if supported and
       ## sign digest from log if supported
       if ($self->{SLOT}->{$slot}->getFeatures()->{"LogDigest"} and
           $self->{SLOT}->{$slot}->getFeatures()->{"LogSignature"})
       {
           my $digest    = $self->{SLOT}->{$slot}->getLogDigest();
           my $signature = $self->{TOKEN}->sign(DATA => $digest);
           $self->{SLOT}->{$slot}->addLogSignature($signature);
       }

I don't understand which is the purpose of this code ?

Actually these features are not implemented. This sounds like from SET. If you need special features then please add it to the RFEs at our project page on sourceforge. We will discuss all these requested features and their priorization at the workshop in Munich.

BTW we tested signed logs already and they are only really usable if you have an accelerator for the crypto operations.
