Armor - x.509 Extension
=======================

[](#armor---x509-extension)

An extension for the Armor package to provide x.509 signature and verify functionality. This extension is still rather rudimentary, and will be updated in the near future.

**NOTE:** Although the functionality is technically there, please do not store private keys in the database. This package is intended to provide storage for public keys and certificates, not private keys.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install via Composer with:

> `composer require apex/armor-x509`

Basic Usage
-----------

[](#basic-usage)

```
use Apex\Armor\Armor;
use Apex\Armor\x509\{KeyManager, DistinguishedName, Signature};

// Init Armor
$armor = new Armor();

// Get DN
$dn = new DistinguishedName(
    country: 'CA',
    province: 'Ontario',
    locality: 'Toronto',
    org_name: 'Company XYZ',
    common_name: 'fqdn.domain.com',
    email: 'me@domain.com
);

// Generate self-signed cert for uuid u:admin
$manager = new KeyManager($armor);
$res = $manager->generate('u:admin', $dn, 'adminpass12345', true);

// Generate cert for uuid, u:581 signed by u:admin
$user = $manager->generate('u:581', $dn, 'password12345');
$manager->sign('u:581', 'u:admin', 'adminpass12345', $res['privkey']);

// Sign hash
$signer = new Signature($armor);
$user_privkey = $manager->openPrivKey($user_res['privkey'], 'password12345');
$sig = $signer->sign('message_to_sign', $user_privkey);

// Verify signature
if (!$signer->verify('message_to_sign', $sig, 'u:581', 'u:admin')) {
    echo  "Unable to verify\n";
} else {
    echo "Verification successful\n":
}
```
