Public bug reported: This is maybe related to #1312462.
After setting up either as Software HSM from opencryptoki or libSoftHSM, do the following to reproduce the problem: > openssl ecparam -name brainpoolP256r1 -out test.pem -genkey > openssl ec -in test.pem -pubout -out test_pub.pem > pkcs11-tool --module /usr/lib/opencryptoki/libopencryptoki.so.0 --login --pin > 000000 --write-object test_pub.pem --type pubkey Using slot 0 with a present token (0x3) error: OpenSSL error during RSA public key parsing Aborting. Expected behaviour: the key is imported as elliptic curve key. Importing the private key works: > pkcs11-tool --module /usr/lib/opencryptoki/libopencryptoki.so.0 --login --pin > 000000 --write-object test.pem --type privkey Using slot 0 with a present token (0x3) Created private key: Private Key Object; EC label: Usage: decrypt, sign, unwrap warning: PKCS11 function C_GetAttributeValue(ALWAYS_AUTHENTICATE) failed: rv = CKR_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE_INVALID (0x12) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: opensc 0.15.0-1ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-47.68-generic 4.4.24 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-47-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.1 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Thu Dec 1 09:31:46 2016 InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-07-07 (146 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release amd64 (20160420.1) SourcePackage: opensc UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: opensc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug xenial -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1646387 Title: pkcs11-tool fails to import EC public keys To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/opensc/+bug/1646387/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
