Name

OpenXPKI::Crypto::API - API for cryptographic functions - abstract superclass.

Description

This is the ABSTRACT superclass for crypto APIs, such asOpenXPKI::Crypto::Backend::API, OpenXPKI::Crypto::Tool::SCEP::API, ...As an abstract superclass, it just implements basic command validation,more functionality has to be implemented in the specific subclasses.Note that it can not be instantiated.

Functions

START

This constructor (see Class::Std) tries to create an instance of the classpassed by the named parameter 'CLASS'. This is supposed to be the correspondingBackend or Tool class, e.g. OpenXPKI::Backend::OpenSSL

command

This checks whether valid command parameters are present and then excutes acommand on the instance mentioned above.

__init_command_params

This method is empty here, it has to be implemented by the thecorresponding API sub-classes. It fills the command_params hashwith the appropriate content, i.e. allowed functions and theirparameters.

__check_command_param

This private method checks the validity of the command parameters. It onlychecks keys, not values, i.e. the content of a passed parameter might stillbe inapropriate for the requested operation.
