Adds CKM_DES3_ECB and CKM_DES3_CBC key wrap/unwrap and fixes the existing CKM_DES3_CBC_PAD support.

Based on pull request #657.

Changes

  • ECB/CBC wrap/unwrap without padding: the key value is padded with trailing null bytes up to the block size when wrapping. On unwrap, the padding is truncated to the length implied by the key type (PKCS#11 v2.40, General block cipher ECB and CBC). Only secret keys can be wrapped or unwrapped with these mechanisms; anything else returns CKR_KEY_NOT_WRAPPABLE / CKR_TEMPLATE_INCONSISTENT.
  • Key length: the DES wrapping key length is counted without parity bits, so the crypto backends need no changes.
  • Key type check: fixed the wrapping/unwrapping key type check. It used != CKK_DES2 || != CKK_DES3, which rejected every DES2/DES3 key. Unwrap now returns CKR_UNWRAPPING_KEY_TYPE_INCONSISTENT.
  • Argument validation: added mechanism parameter checks for DES3 (no IV for ECB, an 8-byte IV for CBC/CBC_PAD) and wrapped key length checks (a non-zero multiple of the block size) for AES and DES3 unwrap.
  • Bad padding: a CBC_PAD unwrap with bad padding returns CKR_WRAPPED_KEY_INVALID instead of CKR_GENERAL_ERROR.
  • Mechanism info: C_GetMechanismInfo reports CKF_WRAP | CKF_UNWRAP for all DES3 mechanisms, and single-DES mechanisms report only CKF_ENCRYPT | CKF_DECRYPT.

Tests

  • New SymmetricAlgorithmTests::testDesWrapUnwrap covers DES3_ECB, DES3_CBC and DES3_CBC_PAD wrap/unwrap with known-answer vectors, plus the error cases.
  • p11test passes 82/82 with the OpenSSL 3 backend.

Notes

This PR was reworked onto current main. Compared with the earlier revision:

  • The CKA_MODIFIABLE change is gone, because main already allows it during unwrap.
  • CKA_VALUE_LEN is no longer accepted in unwrap templates, since PKCS#11 says it must not be given to C_UnwrapKey.
  • The unrelated deriveSymmetric CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE fix will be sent separately.

📝 Walkthrough

DES3 ECB and CBC key wrapping are added alongside existing CBC_PAD support. The API reports mechanism capabilities, validates parameters and key types, and handles zero-padded unwrapping. Tests cover known ciphertexts, round trips, and invalid inputs.

Changes: DES3 Wrapping

Layer / File(s) Summary
Mechanism support and cipher modes
src/lib/SoftHSM.cpp
DES3 ECB, CBC, and CBC_PAD report wrap and unwrap capabilities. ECB uses no IV. CBC uses an 8-byte IV. Unpadded modes use zero padding, and CBC_PAD retains PKCS#7 padding.
Wrap and unwrap validation
src/lib/SoftHSM.cpp
The API validates parameters, input lengths, wrapping-key types, and target object types. Unpadded DES3 unwrap truncates to the key-type length and rejects decrypted data that is too short. Invalid CBC_PAD data returns CKR_WRAPPED_KEY_INVALID.
Wrapping test coverage
src/lib/test/SymmetricAlgorithmTests.cpp, src/lib/test/SymmetricAlgorithmTests.h
The suite registers the DES wrap and unwrap test unconditionally. Tests add fixed-key known-answer checks, round trips, capability assertions, and invalid-input cases. The single-DES-wrapped RSA fixture is removed.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Feature

Suggested reviewers: bukka

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 9b5c5

Unwrapping a generic secret with an explicit length can fail, and a test does not protect the new modifiability behavior. Address these bounded issues before merging, or accept the limitation explicitly.

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 9b5c5

The new unpadded DES3 path can change the value of a generic secret key when it is unwrapped, while an explicit length in the unwrap template is rejected. Existing key-use permissions remain in place, and no authorization bypass was established.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · observed: New DES3 ECB wrapping can round-trip a non-block-aligned generic secret into a different, zero-padded key value. Supplying CKA_VALUE_LEN to recover the original length instead causes unwrap object creation to reject the template. This can break the integrity of imported key material.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The affected assets are keys wrapped or unwrapped by callers permitted to use DES2 or DES3 wrapping keys. The inspected change does not establish a new service or deployment boundary.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • observed — A caller can unwrap a non-block-aligned generic secret through DES3 ECB without an error but receive the padded bytes as its key value. The changed test explicitly expects that value; specifying CKA_VALUE_LEN is rejected before object creation succeeds.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The new mechanism branches retain operation-purpose, key-type, session-authorization, and destination-class checks. The changed tests use one authorized session and do not establish cross-session isolation.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Define and enforce CKA_VALUE_LEN semantics for unpadded generic-secret unwrap, and cover both an explicit original length and an invalid length in tests.

56-66: Add a FIPS‐only DES key-length test for getCipher()

I wasn’t able to find any existing unit tests that exercise the #ifdef WITH_FIPS guard in OSSLDES.cpp, so we need to add one to prevent regressions:

• No tests covering 56- or 64-bit DES key rejection under FIPS were found (a search for “WITH_FIPS” in any test files returned nothing).
• Please add a new test case in the crypto test suite (e.g. tests/crypto/OSSLDESTest.cpp):
– Define WITH_FIPS at compile time for the test
– Call OSSLDES::getCipher() (or the public wrapper) with a 56-bit key and assert it fails
– Repeat for a 64-bit (8-byte) key length
• Verify that in non-FIPS builds those same key lengths still succeed.

This will ensure single‐DES key lengths are correctly rejected only when WITH_FIPS is enabled.

6327-6341: DES/3DES bit-length adjustment missing in wrap/unwrap paths

Elsewhere you use 7 bits/byte for DES-family keys (parity ignored). Wrap/unwrap still multiplies by 8, which is inconsistent and may trip provider-side validation.

 // after the switch that sets `algo`
+    if (algo == SymAlgo::DES || algo == SymAlgo::DES3) {
+        bb = 7;
+    }
     SymmetricAlgorithm* cipher = CryptoFactory::i()->getSymmetricAlgorithm(algo);

Apply the same in UnwrapKeySym before unwrappingkey->setBitLen(...):

 // after the switch that sets `algo`
+    if (algo == SymAlgo::DES || algo == SymAlgo::DES3) {
+        bb = 7;

413-417: Allowing attribute updates during C_UnwrapKey when CKA_MODIFIABLE=false fixes self-lock and aligns with PKCS#11 object creation semantics

Good change. During unwrap, the object is being created; evaluating CKA_MODIFIABLE before all template attributes are applied could prematurely lock further updates in the same operation. Exempting OBJECT_OP_UNWRAP from the read-only gate matches the existing exemptions for CREATE/GENERATE.

Two small follow-ups:

  • Add a short code comment explaining why UNWRAP is exempted (future maintainers will thank you).
  • Grammar nit in the error string.

Apply this diff to document intent and fix the message:

-	// Attributes cannot be changed if CKA_MODIFIABLE is set to false
-	if (!isModifiable() && op != OBJECT_OP_GENERATE && op != OBJECT_OP_CREATE && op != OBJECT_OP_UNWRAP) {
-		ERROR_MSG("An object is with CKA_MODIFIABLE set to false is not modifiable");
+	// Attributes cannot be changed if CKA_MODIFIABLE is false.
+	// Note: During CREATE/GENERATE/UNWRAP the object is in creation; allow setting attributes in the same op.

 		return CKR_ATTRIBUTE_READ_ONLY;

56-76: Accept both “effective” and “parity-included” DES/3DES key lengths; improve warning text

Allowing 56/64, 112/128, and 168/192 bit lengths tolerates both representations (effective vs. with parity). That’s a pragmatic interoperability improvement. The warning currently says “56-bit” even when the bit length is 64 (single-DES with parity). Suggest rewording for clarity.

Apply this diff to clarify the comment and warning:

-	// Check currentKey bit length; 3DES only supports 56-bit, 112-bit or 168-bit keys 
+	// Accept both effective (without parity) and parity-included lengths:

7472-7477: CKA_VALUE_LEN check should apply only to secret keys to avoid false rejections

Asymmetric keys (PKCS#8 blobs) have no meaningful CKA_VALUE_LEN; current code would fail if callers add it by mistake.

-    // If the caller supplied CKA_VALUE_LEN, ensure it matches the unwrapped key length
-    if (haveRequestedValueLen && keydata.size() != requestedValueLen)
+    // If provided, enforce CKA_VALUE_LEN only for secret keys
+    if (objClass == CKO_SECRET_KEY && haveRequestedValueLen && keydata.size() != requestedValueLen)
     {
         return CKR_TEMPLATE_INCONSISTENT;
     }

Optionally, consider returning CKR_WRAPPED_KEY_LEN_RANGE instead for a stricter PKCS #11 mapping when the length of the unwrapped secret doesn't match the requested length.


6318-6322: ECB IV semantics: clarify and document blocksize=0

Setting blocksize=0 for ECB is fine, but it indirectly relies on downstream code not touching &iv[0]. After guarding memcpy as proposed above, add a short comment to document why blocksize is 0 for ECB to prevent future regressions.

-        case CKM_DES3_ECB:
-            blocksize = 0;
+        case CKM_DES3_ECB:
+            // ECB mode has no IV; keep blocksize=0 so iv remains empty
+            blocksize = 0;

6976-6983: Return a wrap-specific error on unpadding failure (not a generic one)

Returning CKR_WRAPPED_KEY_INVALID improves diagnosability and conforms better to caller expectations on unwrap failures.

See the earlier diff in this review that switches to CKR_WRAPPED_KEY_INVALID.


6629-6634: Add tests for new DES3 wrap/unwrap modes and edge cases

  • CKM_DES3_ECB: parameter length 0 (both NULL and non-NULL pointer), invalid non-zero length.
  • CKM_DES3_CBC/CKM_DES3_CBC_PAD: missing IV, wrong IV length.
  • Round-trip wrap/unwrap parity with 2-key (DES2) vs 3-key (DES3).
  • Bad padding on CBC_PAD unwrap returns CKR_WRAPPED_KEY_INVALID.

I can draft unit/integration tests for these cases against the SoftHSM PKCS #11 module. Want me to open a follow-up PR?

Also applies to: 7269-7278


7317-7324: Optional: tighten mechanism/type checks to reduce branches

You can avoid repeated mechanism membership checks by precomputing booleans (isAESWrap, isDES3CBC, isDES3ECB) and using them in both the top-level switch and the type checks. This reduces drift between validation and execution.

969-985: No action needed: unwrap correctly validates and sets CKA_VALUE_LEN on create

  • In SoftHSM::C_UnwrapKey (src/lib/SoftHSM.cpp around lines 7374–7478), the code captures an optional CKA_VALUE_LEN from the unwrap template and, after decryption, only checks
      if (haveRequestedValueLen && keydata.size() != requestedValueLen) {
          return CKR_TEMPLATE_INCONSISTENT;
      }
    without ever calling updateAttr on CKA_VALUE_LEN during unwrap.
  • In P11Attributes.cpp (src/lib/P11Attributes.cpp lines 969–985), OBJECT_OP_UNWRAP is treated like a create operation and uses osobject->setAttribute(…) to initialize CKA_VALUE_LEN on the newly created object, rather than invoking updateAttr.

Both checks confirm that the unwrap flow enforces a mismatched CKA_VALUE_LEN as a rejection and only sets the attribute on object creation, respecting the READ_ONLY design.

79-93: CBC: mappings for 64/128/192 mirror 56/112/168 — LGTM

Mode-specific cipher selection looks correct for CBC. No functional concerns.


94-108: ECB: ensure CI includes CKM_DES3_ECB unwrap tests

The code correctly maps 64/128/192-bit keys to the appropriate EVP_des_*_ecb() calls, and the PR introduces the CKM_DES3_ECB unwrap functionality. However, I was unable to find any existing tests (e.g. no test or tests directory) covering ECB unwrap for 2-key (112/128 bit) or 3-key (168/192 bit) 3DES. Please verify that your CI pipeline includes end-to-end tests for both cases:

  • A 2-key (112/128 bit) 3DES object unwrapped with CKM_DES3_ECB in ECB mode
  • A 3-key (168/192 bit) 3DES object unwrapped with CKM_DES3_ECB in ECB mode

If these tests don’t already exist in your test suite, please add them to ensure full coverage of the new unwrap functionality.


109-138: It looks like the sandbox environment didn’t return any matches for EVP_des_ofb or EVP_des_cfb, which usually means the OpenSSL headers aren’t present (or live in a non-standard include path). Please manually verify in your target build environment that those aliases exist. For example:

# 1) Locate your OpenSSL include directory:
dir=$(openssl version -d | awk -F'"' '{print $2}')/include/openssl
echo "Searching in $dir"
grep -R "EVP_des_ofb" "$dir" || true
grep -R "EVP_des_cfb" "$dir" || true

# 2) Or via pkg-config:
inc=$(pkg-config --cflags openssl | sed 's/-I//g')
echo "Searching in $inc/openssl"
grep -R "EVP_des_ofb" "$inc/openssl" || true
grep -R "EVP_des_cfb" "$inc/openssl" || true

If you find that some distributions only provide EVP_des_ofb64/EVP_des_cfb64, you may need to add configure-time detection (e.g. with functional tests like EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_name) and alias appropriately. Let me know what you find!

52-118: Confirmed test coverage for both two-key (112/128 bit) and three-key (168/192 bit) TripleDES scenarios

– In src/lib/crypto/test/DESTests.cpp, the suite instantiates DESKey with 56, 112 and 168 effective-bit lengths under CBC/ECB/CFB/OFB modes, exercising both 112-bit and 168-bit TripleDES cases.
– In the PKCS#11 integration tests (SymmetricAlgorithmTests.cpp), importKey is called with CKK_DES2 (16 bytes ⇒ 128 bits) and CKK_DES3 (24 bytes ⇒ 192 bits), followed by encrypt/decrypt via CKM_DES3_CBC_PAD and CKM_DES3_CBC, covering the parity-inclusive 128 / 192 bit lengths.

Algorithm naming “DES” and “TripleDES” with mode and PKCS7/NoPadding remains stable across Botan versions; no changes needed.

src/lib/SoftHSM.cpp (3)

7317-7320: Mechanism/type check includes CKM_AES_CBC but mechanism switch does not

You validate unwrapKey type for CKM_AES_CBC here, but the top-level switch does not accept CKM_AES_CBC (only AES_CBC_PAD). Either add CKM_AES_CBC to the switch with parameter length checks or drop it from this type check for consistency.

Would you like me to add CKM_AES_CBC to C_UnwrapKey with pParameter length 16, mirroring AES_CBC in the wrap path?


6272-6326: Nice addition: per-mechanism symmetric mode selection for DES3, incl. ECB

The sym_mode introduction and DES3 switch cases look good and align with CBC/PAD vs ECB semantics. Once the small issues noted are fixed, this should be robust.


7263-7266: AES_CBC_PAD parameter validation added — LGTM

The explicit check for a 16-byte IV for CKM_AES_CBC_PAD is correct and matches the AES block size.

1130-1149: MechanismInfo flags don’t reflect newly added DES3 wrap/unwrap support.

C_GetMechanismInfo currently advertises:

  • DES3_CBC_PAD: CKF_WRAP | CKF_UNWRAP (OK)
  • DES3_CBC: CKF_WRAP only (but C_UnwrapKey supports unwrapping with DES3_CBC)
  • DES3_ECB: only CKF_ENCRYPT | CKF_DECRYPT (but wrap/unwrap are implemented)

This will confuse clients that query capabilities before use. Advertise CKF_WRAP | CKF_UNWRAP for DES3_CBC and DES3_ECB as implemented.

Apply:

-       case CKM_DES3_CBC:
-           pInfo->flags |= CKF_WRAP;
+       case CKM_DES3_CBC:
+           pInfo->flags |= CKF_WRAP | CKF_UNWRAP;
            /* FALLTHROUGH */
        case CKM_DES3_ECB:

6352-6364: ECB IV handling guard and consistent mode usage look good.

The memcpy guard for blocksize > 0 avoids taking &iv[0] on an empty buffer, and encryptInit now uses the selected sym_mode consistently. This addresses the earlier IV/ECB hazards.


6901-6937: Unwrap: DES3 mode selection and ECB IV handling guard look correct.

Using sym_mode for DES3_* and copying the IV only when blocksize > 0 prevents the earlier ECB/IV misuse. Nice.

6986-7000: Return a key-specific error on padding/decrypt failures; fix comment typo.

For CBC_PAD unwraps, decryptFinal/padding failures should map to CKR_WRAPPED_KEY_INVALID (callers rely on this), not CKR_GENERAL_ERROR. Also, the comment says “Finalize encryption” in the decrypt path.

Apply:

6636-6644: Good validation: DES3 ECB/CBC(CK_PARAM) checks added in C_WrapKey.

  • CKM_DES3_ECB: ulParameterLen must be 0 (no IV).
  • CKM_DES3_CBC / CKM_DES3_CBC_PAD: IV must be present and exactly 8 bytes.

This matches PKCS #11 semantics and prevents NULL IV dereferences downstream.


6685-6689: Key type consistency checks for DES2/DES3 wrapping are correct.

Allowing CKK_DES2 and CKK_DES3 (and rejecting others) for DES3* mechanisms is the right gate.


7280-7300: Good parity checks in C_UnwrapKey for AES/DES3 parameters.

  • AES-CBC-PAD requires 16-byte IV.
  • DES3-CBC / DES3-CBC-PAD require 8-byte IV.
  • DES3-ECB requires ulParameterLen == 0.

These align with the wrap-side checks and PKCS #11 expectations.


7340-7346: Unwrap key type gating for DES3 mechanisms is correct.*

Rejecting unwrapping keys that aren’t CKK_DES2/CKK_DES3 prevents invalid key/mech combinations.


7397-7419: CKA_VALUE_LEN support on unwrap is implemented cleanly.

  • You accept CKA_VALUE_LEN in the unwrap template (secret keys only), validate its type, and enforce it after decrypting.
  • Returning CKR_TEMPLATE_INCONSISTENT on mismatch is appropriate.

12116-12128: Bug: CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE is written to CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE

In the CKM_CONCATENATE_BASE_AND_KEY derive path, the last assignment stores bNeverExtractable into CKA_ALWAYS_SENSITIVE instead of CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE.

Apply:

-                bool bNeverExtractable = baseKey->getBooleanValue(CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE, false) &&

+                bOK = bOK && osobject->setAttribute(CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE, bNeverExtractable);

This is a correctness issue with security semantics (derive of a non‑extractable input must remain non‑extractable).

6351-6364: Guarded IV memcpy for ECB (no IV) and consistent mode usage: addressed

The undefined behavior on iv[0] for blocksize==0 is fixed, and encryptInit now receives the computed sym_mode. This resolves the previously reported issue.


6293-6296: AES-CBC wrap IV handling fixed (blocksize=16 and correct mode): addressed

1140-1147: Mechanism flags correctly advertise 3DES wrap/unwrap support

Adding CKF_WRAP | CKF_UNWRAP for CKM_DES3_{CBC,ECB} is aligned with the new wrap/unwrap paths. Please ensure the module’s mechanism tests cover these flags to avoid regressions in consumers that feature‑detect via C_GetMechanismInfo.

Would you like a quick test snippet exercising C_GetMechanismInfo for these mechs?


6269-6330: Centralizing sym_mode selection and explicit DES3 branches: good improvement

Introducing sym_mode and adding explicit branches for CKM_DES3_{ECB,CBC,CBC_PAD} removes the earlier CBC hard‑coding and makes IV handling clear per mode. This also prepares the ground for future symmetric modes.


6900-6937: Symmetric unwrap: per‑mechanism mode and blocksize selection looks correct

UnwrapKeySym now selects CBC vs ECB and blocksize per mechanism; DES3 uses 8‑byte blocks and ECB has no IV. This matches the wrap path and PKCS#11 expectations.


6636-6645: Argument validation for DES3 wrap: solid

  • CKM_DES3_ECB enforcing ulParameterLen==0 is correct (ECB has no IV).
  • CKM_DES3_{CBC,CBC_PAD} requiring an 8‑byte IV prevents null derefs and bad IV sizes.

7342-7349: Unwrap key type checks extended to DES3: good parity with wrap

Validating that unwrapping keys for CKM_DES3_* are DES2/DES3 avoids inconsistent key/mechanism pairs.


7399-7423: CKA_VALUE_LEN capture in unwrap template: type‑checked and non‑intrusive

Capturing (not setting) CKA_VALUE_LEN and verifying post‑unwrap is a reasonable way to support caller expectations without polluting CreateObject inputs. Consider documenting that this applies only to CKO_SECRET_KEY in our developer docs.

Do you want a unit test that unwraps a 24‑byte 3DES key with CKA_VALUE_LEN=24 and asserts CKR_TEMPLATE_INCONSISTENT for mismatches?


7498-7502: Enforcing CKA_VALUE_LEN only for secret keys: correct scope

Returning CKR_TEMPLATE_INCONSISTENT on length mismatch for CKO_SECRET_KEY is consistent with how CreateObject validates lengths elsewhere in this file.

6986-6992: Map decryptFinal failures to CKR_WRAPPED_KEY_INVALID for non-PAD as well

6269-6331: Preflight block-size alignment for non-PAD modes to return precise errors

For non-PAD block modes (e.g., DES3_ECB, DES3_CBC, AES_CBC), wrapping fails later inside crypto with a generic error if the input length isn’t a multiple of the block size. Add an explicit alignment check to return CKR_KEY_SIZE_RANGE early.

1140-1147: Mechanism info flags for DES3 ECB/CBC — LGTM

Exposing CKF_WRAP/CKF_UNWRAP for CKM_DES3_ECB/CBC aligns with the new wrap/unwrap support and keeps fallthrough semantics correct. No issues spotted.


6269-6331: Clean per-mech mode selection and DES3_ECB support — LGTM

The introduction of sym_mode and explicit branches for CKM_DES3_{ECB,CBC,CBC_PAD} are clear and correct. The bb=7 adjustment for DES family is consistently applied.


6351-6364: Guarded IV handling for ECB — LGTM

The conditional IV copy avoids taking &iv[0] on an empty buffer and correctly wipes IV for ECB. Good fix.


6636-6644: Mechanism param checks for DES3 wrap — LGTM

  • CKM_DES3_ECB: enforces zero-length parameter.
  • CKM_DES3_CBC/PAD: require 8-byte IV.

These mirror CBC requirements and prevent NULL derefs down the path.


6685-6689: Key type gating for DES3 wrap — LGTM

Requiring the wrapping key to be CKK_DES2 or CKK_DES3 for DES3 mechanisms is correct and prevents type misuse.


6901-6941: ECB/CBC mode selection and IV handling on unwrap — LGTM

sym_mode is propagated to decryptInit; ECB keeps IV empty; CBC variants copy the 8-byte IV. This fixes the earlier mode/IV issues.


7494-7499: Enforce CKA_VALUE_LEN after unwrap — LGTM

Post-unwrap check and CKR_TEMPLATE_INCONSISTENT mapping look correct.


12114-12125: CKM_CONCATENATE_BASE_AND_KEY propagation of sensitivity/extractability — LGTM

Conjunction logic for ALWAYS_SENSITIVE/NEVER_EXTRACTABLE follows PKCS #11 guidance. Good attention to attribute semantics.


6293-6296: AES-CBC IV application fix — LGTM

Setting blocksize = 16 for CKM_AES_CBC ensures the IV is actually copied and used; passing SymMode::CBC is consistent across wrap/unwrap paths.

6271-6271: Minor: clarify naming to avoid mode vs. mode confusion

You now have two “mode” concepts in scope: SymWrap::Type mode and SymMode::Type sym_mode. Consider renaming sym_mode to cipher_mode to improve readability.

- SymMode::Type sym_mode = SymMode::Unknown;
+ SymMode::Type cipher_mode = SymMode::Unknown;

7405-7427: CKA_VALUE_LEN capture and enforcement after unwrap: good, confirm return code choice

Accepting CKA_VALUE_LEN in the template and enforcing it post-decrypt only for secret keys is sensible. Returning CKR_TEMPLATE_INCONSISTENT on mismatch is defensible; some stacks use CKR_WRAPPED_KEY_LEN_RANGE for length mismatches. If interoperability becomes an issue, consider switching to CKR_WRAPPED_KEY_LEN_RANGE.

Would you like me to add a small compatibility knob to choose the return code based on a config flag?

1146-1146: Mechanism info: DES3 flags expanded correctly

Adding CKF_ENCRYPT | CKF_DECRYPT | CKF_WRAP | CKF_UNWRAP via |= is consistent with the fallthrough pattern used for AES and matches the wrap/unwrap capability you’ve implemented for DES3 ECB/CBC/PAD.


6360-6367: IV handling for ECB vs CBC is correct and safe

Guarding memcpy with blocksize > 0 avoids taking &iv[0] on empty buffers, and passing the selected cipher mode into encryptInit fixes the earlier ECB/CBC mismatch.


6904-6941: Unwrap DES3/AES CBC(PAD): mode selection, IV handling, and error mapping look right

  • Properly selects ECB/CBC per mechanism and keeps IV empty for ECB.
  • Uses CKR_WRAPPED_KEY_INVALID for padding/decrypt failures (better for callers).

Also applies to: 6968-7004


6641-6648: Wrap parameter validation for DES3 ECB/CBC/PAD is sound

  • ECB enforces zero-length parameters.
  • CBC/CBC_PAD enforce 8-byte IVs.
    This aligns with the unwrap-side checks you added.

6690-6693: Key type consistency checks for DES3 wrap are correct

Allowing CKK_DES2 and CKK_DES3 for DES3 modes (and rejecting others) is appropriate.


7289-7307: DES3 unwrap validation looks complete

CBC/CBC_PAD properly check 8-byte IVs and ciphertext alignment; ECB requires zero-length parameters and block-size alignment.

Also applies to: 7303-7307


12132-12132: Bug fix: NEVER_EXTRACTABLE propagation during concatenate-keys derive

Setting CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE based on both inputs (AND) matches PKCS#11 2.40 §2.31.3. Good catch.

6357-6370: Guarded IV copy and correct mode passed to cipher — resolved correctly

The “memcpy into iv[0] when size==0” hazard is eliminated and the selected sym_mode is used consistently. Nice.


6643-6650: C_WrapKey: parameter validation for DES3 ECB/CBC/CBC_PAD

  • ECB: requires ulParameterLen==0 (no IV)
  • CBC/CBC_PAD: require 8-byte IV

These checks match the wrap implementation and prevent NULL deref in the IV copy.


6970-7006: UnwrapKeySym: guarded IV copy + error mapping to CKR_WRAPPED_KEY_INVALID

  • IV copy is gated on blocksize>0 (safe for ECB).
  • decryptInit uses correct sym_mode.
  • Padding errors and decryptFinal failures return CKR_WRAPPED_KEY_INVALID instead of a generic error.

This aligns with PKCS #11 expectations.


7256-7312: C_UnwrapKey: robust size/IV validation for AES-CBC-PAD and 3DES (ECB/CBC/PAD)

  • AES-CBC-PAD: IV length 16, wrapped length >0 and multiple of 16.
  • DES3-CBC(PAD): IV length 8, length multiple of 8 (and >0 for PAD).
  • DES3-ECB: parameter len 0 and multiple-of-8 data.

These checks fail early and match the decrypt path assumptions.

6293-6299: AES-CBC wrap: IV is used and input alignment is enforced

Setting sym_mode=CBC, blocksize=16, and rejecting non-16-aligned inputs fixes the historical “IV never applied” issue and prevents silent misuse.

If you want errors to better reflect “data length,” consider returning CKR_DATA_LEN_RANGE instead of CKR_KEY_SIZE_RANGE here for parity with encrypt paths. No strong preference; current code is consistent with DES3 branches.


7506-7511: Enforce CKA_VALUE_LEN for secret keys only — correct scope

Returning CKR_TEMPLATE_INCONSISTENT on mismatch makes failures explicit without affecting private-key unwrap flows.

Consider logging the expected vs actual size at DEBUG level to aid troubleshooting.

1144-1147: Expose DES3 ECB/CBC as wrap/unwrap capable in mechanism info — good change

Flags now reflect the newly supported wrap/unwrap paths for 3DES ECB/CBC. Matches the implementation below in C_WrapKey/C_UnwrapKey.


6271-6274: Separate SymWrap vs SymMode for clarity

Adding a dedicated sym_mode avoids confusion with SymWrap::Type mode used for AES Key Wrap. Clear separation improves readability in the switch below.


6301-6305: 3DES wrap paths: PAD/non-PAD for CBC and new ECB support look correct

  • CBC_PAD: PKCS#7 pre-padding is applied; padding=false at init is appropriate.
  • CBC: enforces 8-byte alignment.
  • ECB: treats IV as empty (blocksize=0), with length check on wrapped data.

All three set bb=7 to account for parity-inclusive key bytes.

Also applies to: 6307-6314, 6315-6323, 6324-6332


6691-6695: C_WrapKey: 3DES wrapping key type check

Accepts CKK_DES2 and CKK_DES3; rejects others. This matches the supported modes and avoids misuse.


7351-7358: C_UnwrapKey: unwrapping key type consistency

  • AES_CBC(_PAD) requires CKK_AES secret key.
  • 3DES ECB/CBC(PAD) requires CKK_DES2 or CKK_DES3 secret key.

Prevents invalid key/mechanism pairings.


7409-7431: C_UnwrapKey: accept and capture CKA_VALUE_LEN in unwrap template

Storing (but not setting) CKA_VALUE_LEN for later enforcement preserves compatibility and avoids premature writes during template assembly.

Do we also want to accept (but ignore) CKA_VALUE for secret keys in unwrap templates and fail with CKR_ATTRIBUTE_READ_ONLY? If that’s a requirement in your environment, I can add the guard where you parse the template.


12126-12137: deriveSymmetric (CONCATENATE_BASE_AND_KEY): fix propagation of NEVER_EXTRACTABLE/ALWAYS_SENSITIVE

The boolean propagation now mirrors PKCS #11 rules (“true iff both originals are true” for ALWAYS_SENSITIVE, NEVER_EXTRACTABLE). This addresses the earlier inversion pitfall.


6923-6944: Confirmed: AES-CBC unwrap is intentionally unsupported

Both the mechanism info and unwrap implementation only support AES-CBC-PAD for unwrapping:

  • In src/lib/SoftHSM.cpp (lines 1159–1164), CKM_AES_CBC is only ever OR’d with CKF_WRAP (no CKF_UNWRAP is ever set)
  • In the unwrap switch (around line 6970), only CKM_AES_CBC_PAD appears (plain CKM_AES_CBC is not handled)

Since CKM_AES_CBC correctly advertises wrap-only and there is no non-PAD unwrap path by design, no changes are required.

🧩 Analysis chain

Add targeted tests for new 3DES ECB wrap/unwrap and template enforcement

  • Wrap/unwrap CKM_DES3_ECB with:
    • correct IV handling (none), correct multiples-of-8
    • wrong ciphertext length → CKR_WRAPPED_KEY_LEN_RANGE
    • corrupt last block/padding (CBC_PAD) → CKR_WRAPPED_KEY_INVALID
  • Unwrap secret key with CKA_VALUE_LEN present:
    • matching length → OK
    • mismatching length → CKR_TEMPLATE_INCONSISTENT

I can draft unit tests exercising these cases if helpful.

Add tests for 3DES ECB wrap/unwrap and CKA_VALUE_LEN enforcement

Please add unit tests covering the new DES3 ECB code paths and the template‐length checks:

• Wrap (SoftHSM.cpp ~6323–6332)
– CKM_DES3_ECB: ulParameterLen must be 0 (no IV)
– ciphertext lengths that are multiples of 8 → success
– non-8-aligned lengths → CKR_WRAPPED_KEY_LEN_RANGE

• Unwrap (SoftHSM.cpp ~7306–7312)
– CKM_DES3_ECB: ulParameterLen must be 0
– ulWrappedKeyLen multiple of 8 → success
– non-aligned lengths → CKR_WRAPPED_KEY_LEN_RANGE
– for CBC_PAD variants, corrupt padding → CKR_WRAPPED_KEY_INVALID

• Secret-key template enforcement (SoftHSM.cpp ~7408–7510)
– haveRequestedValueLen && keydata.size() == requestedValueLen → OK
– mismatched CKA_VALUE_LEN → CKR_TEMPLATE_INCONSISTENT

Let me know if you’d like me to draft those unit tests.

I think the test should be part of this PR rather than a different PR generated by Code Rabbit. Those tests should be also cleaned up and verified. The reason is that this should be tested in CI before merging.

Add CKM_DES3_ECB and CKM_DES3_CBC key wrap/unwrap and fix the
existing CKM_DES3_CBC_PAD support:

- Pad the key value with trailing null bytes for ECB/CBC wrapping and
  truncate them on unwrap based on the key type (PKCS#11 v2.40,
  General block cipher ECB and CBC). Only secret keys can be wrapped
  or unwrapped without padding.
- Count the DES wrapping key length without parity bits.
- Fix the wrapping key type check, which rejected every DES2/DES3 key.
- Check mechanism parameters and wrapped key length for AES and DES3.
- Return CKR_WRAPPED_KEY_INVALID on bad CBC_PAD padding.
- Report CKF_WRAP/CKF_UNWRAP for all DES3 mechanisms in
  C_GetMechanismInfo.

🟡 Minor · Handle CKA_VALUE_LEN for generic-secret ECB/CBC unwraps before object… · SoftHSM.cpp:8501-8502

src/lib/SoftHSM.cpp:8501-8502
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Handle CKA_VALUE_LEN for generic-secret ECB/CBC unwraps before object creation.

For CKM_DES3_ECB or CKM_DES3_CBC with a CKK_GENERIC_SECRET target, PKCS#11 permits CKA_VALUE_LEN in the unwrap template and uses it to determine the unwrapped length. C_UnwrapKey forwards the attribute to CreateObject(..., OBJECT_OP_UNWRAP), but P11AttrValueLen::updateAttr returns CKR_ATTRIBUTE_READ_ONLY for that operation. The valid unwrap therefore fails before the key is created.

Handle CKA_VALUE_LEN in the unpadded ECB/CBC path before CreateObject, and exclude it from the rejecting attribute update. Keep the existing prohibition for fixed-length AES and DES3 targets. This is a template-rejection defect, not the previously refuted wrong-length object defect.

src/lib/test/SymmetricAlgorithmTests.cpp:1294-1302
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Fix the CKA_MODIFIABLE assertion: it always passes.

modifiableAttribs[0].pValue points to the local bFalse. C_GetAttributeValue writes the token's value into bFalse. Line 1302 then compares bFalse with itself, so the assertion is always true. If unwrap ignores CKA_MODIFIABLE = CK_FALSE and creates a modifiable key, the test still passes. This test is the only check for the CKA_MODIFIABLE unwrap-template support that the PR adds.

 	CK_ATTRIBUTE modifiableAttribs[] = {
-		{ CKA_MODIFIABLE, &bFalse, sizeof(bFalse) }

 	};

PKCS#11 truncates the result of an unpadded ECB/CBC unwrap to the
CKA_VALUE_LEN of the template, if the key type supports it. Generic
secret key types allow CKA_VALUE_LEN on unwrap, but it was passed on
to object creation, which rejected it. Take it from the template for
CKM_DES3_ECB and CKM_DES3_CBC and truncate the value to it instead.
AES keys still reject CKA_VALUE_LEN on unwrap.

Also set CKA_VALUE_LEN of unwrapped secret keys that have it, which
was left at zero.
