Detailed Description

This class contains an abstract SSL backend for the TYPO3 RSA authentication service.

There are two steps:

• prepare data for encoding
• decode incoming data

To prepare data for encoding, the createNewKeyPair() method should be called. This method returns an instance of class, which contains the private and public keys. Public key is sent to the client to encode data. Private key should be stored somewhere (preferably in user's session).

To decode data, the decrypt() method should be called with the private key created at the previous step and the data to decode. If the data is decoded successfully, the result is a string. Otherwise it is NULL.

Member Function Documentation

createNewKeyPair()

TYPO3\CMS\Rsaauth\Backend\AbstractBackend::createNewKeyPair ( )

abstract

Creates a new key pair for the encryption or gets the existing key pair (if one already has been generated).

There should only be one key pair per request because the second private key would overwrites the first private key. So the submitting the form with the first public key would not work anymore.

Returns

|NULL a key pair or NULL in case of error

decrypt()

TYPO3\CMS\Rsaauth\Backend\AbstractBackend::decrypt (   $privateKey,   $data  )

abstract

Decripts the data using the private key.

Parameters

string	$privateKey	The private key (obtained from a call to createNewKeyPair())
string	$data	Data to decrypt (base64-encoded)

Returns

string Decrypted data or NULL in case of an error

getLastError()

TYPO3\CMS\Rsaauth\Backend\AbstractBackend::getLastError

(

)

Retrieves an error message.

Returns

string An error message or empty string if there were no error

isAvailable()

TYPO3\CMS\Rsaauth\Backend\AbstractBackend::isAvailable ( )

abstract

Checks if this backend is available for calling.

Returns

bool
