  <title>Body Encryption and Signing via SMIME</title>

  <para>S/MIME (Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) is a standard
  for public key encryption and signing of MIME data. MIME data being a set of
  headers and a message body. Its most often seen in the email world when
  somebody wants to encrypt and/or sign an email message they are sending
  across the internet. It can also be used for HTTP requests as well which is
  what the RESTEasy integration with S/MIME is all about. RESTEasy allows you
  to easily encrypt and/or sign an email message using the S/MIME standard.
  While the API is described here, you may also want to check out the example
  projects that come with the RESTEasy distribution. It shows both Java and
  Python clients exchanging S/MIME formatted messages with a JAX-RS
  service.</para>

    <title>Message Body Encryption</title>

    <para>While HTTPS is used to encrypt the entire HTTP message, S/MIME
    encryption is used solely for the message body of the HTTP request or
    response. This is very useful if you have a representation that may be
    forwarded by multiple parties (for example, HornetQ's REST Messaging
    integration!) and you want to protect the message from prying eyes as it
    travels across the network. RESTEasy has two different interfaces for
    encrypting message bodies. One for output, one for input. If your client
    or server wants to send an HTTP request or response with an encrypted
    body, it uses the
    <literal>org.jboss.resteasy.security.smime.EnvelopedOutput</literal> type.
    Encrypting a body also requires an X509 certificate which can be generated
    by the Java keytool command-line interface, or the openssl tool that comes
    installed on many OS's. Here's an example of using the
    <literal>EnvelopedOutput</literal> interface:</para>

    <programlisting>// server side   

@Path("encrypted")
@GET
public EnvelopedOutput getEncrypted()
{
   Customer cust = new Customer();
   cust.setName("Bill");
   
   X509Certificate certificate = ...;
   EnvelopedOutput output = new EnvelopedOutput(cust, MediaType.APPLICATION_XML_TYPE);
   output.setCertificate(certificate);
   return output;
}


// client side
X509Certificate cert = ...; 
Customer cust = new Customer();
cust.setName("Bill");
EnvelopedOutput output = new EnvelopedOutput(cust, "application/xml");
output.setCertificate(cert);
Response res = target.request().post(Entity.entity(output, "application/pkcs7-mime").post();

</programlisting>

    <para>An EnvelopedOutput instance is created passing in the entity you
    want to marshal and the media type you want to marshal it into. So in this
    example, we're taking a Customer class and marshalling it into XML before
    we encrypt it. RESTEasy will then encrypt the EnvelopedOutput using the
    BouncyCastle framework's SMIME integration. The output is a Base64
    encoding and would look something like this:</para>

    <programlisting>Content-Type: application/pkcs7-mime; smime-type=enveloped-data; name="smime.p7m"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="smime.p7m"

    <para>Decrypting an S/MIME encrypted message requires using the
    org.jboss.resteasy.security.smime.EnvelopedInput interface. You also need
    both the private key and X509Certificate used to encrypt the message.
    Here's an example:</para>

    <programlisting>// server side

@Path("encrypted")
@POST
public void postEncrypted(EnvelopedInput&lt;Customer&gt; input)
{
   PrivateKey privateKey = ...;
   X509Certificate certificate = ...;
   Customer cust = input.getEntity(privateKey, certificate);
}

// client side

ClientRequest request = new ClientRequest("http://localhost:9095/smime/encrypted");
EnvelopedInput input = request.getTarget(EnvelopedInput.class);
Customer cust = (Customer)input.getEntity(Customer.class, privateKey, cert);

</programlisting>

    <para>Both examples simply call the getEntity() method passing in the
    PrivateKey and X509Certificate instances requires to decrypt the message.
    On the server side, a generic is used with EnvelopedInput to specify the
    type to marshal to. On the server side this information is passed as a
    parameter to getEntity(). The message is in MIME format: a Content-Type
    header and body, so the EnvelopedInput class now has everything it needs
    to know to both decrypt and unmarshall the entity. </para>
  </section>

    <title>Message Body Signing</title>

    <para>S/MIME also allows you to digitally sign a message. It is a bit
    different than the Doseta Digital Signing Framework. Doseta is an HTTP
    header that contains the signature. S/MIME uses the multipart/signed data
    format which is a multipart message that contains the entity and the
    digital signature. So Doseta is a header, S/MIME is its own media type.
    Generally I would prefer Doseta as S/MIME signatures require the client to
    know how to parse a multipart message and Doseta doesn't. Its up to you
    what you want to use.</para>

    <para>Resteasy has two different interfaces for creating a
    multipart/signed message. One for input, one for output. If your client or
    server wants to send an HTTP request or response with an multipart/signed
    body, it uses the
    <literal>org.jboss.resteasy.security.smime.SignedOutput</literal> type.
    This type requires both the PrivateKey and X509Certificate to create the
    signature. Here's an example of signing an entity and sending a
    multipart/signed entity.</para>

    <programlisting>// server-side

   @Path("signed")
   @GET
   @Produces("multipart/signed")
   public SignedOutput getSigned()
   {
      Customer cust = new Customer();
      cust.setName("Bill");

      SignedOutput output = new SignedOutput(cust, MediaType.APPLICATION_XML_TYPE);
      output.setPrivateKey(privateKey);
      output.setCertificate(certificate);
      return output;
   }


// client side
      Client client = new ResteasyClient();
      WebTarget target = client.target("http://localhost:9095/smime/signed");
      Customer cust = new Customer();
      cust.setName("Bill");
      SignedOutput output = new SignedOutput(cust, "application/xml");
      output.setPrivateKey(privateKey);
      output.setCertificate(cert);
      Response res = target.request().post(Entity.entity(output, "multipart/signed");

</programlisting>

    <para>An SignedOutput instance is created passing in the entity you want
    to marshal and the media type you want to marshal it into. So in this
    example, we're taking a Customer class and marshalling it into XML before
    we sign it. RESTEasy will then sign the SignedOutput using the
    BouncyCastle framework's SMIME integration. The output iwould look
    something like this:</para>

    <programlisting>Content-Type: multipart/signed; protocol="application/pkcs7-signature"; micalg=sha1;  boundary="----=_Part_0_1083228271.1313024422098"

    <para>To unmarshal and verify a signed message requires using the
    <literal>org.jboss.resteasy.security.smime.SignedInput</literal>
    interface. You only need the X509Certificate to verify the message. Here's
    an example of unmarshalling and verifying a multipart/signed
    entity.</para>

    <programlisting>// server side

   @Path("signed")
   @POST
   @Consumes("multipart/signed")
   public void postSigned(SignedInput&lt;Customer&gt; input) throws Exception
   {
      Customer cust = input.getEntity();
      if (!input.verify(certificate))
      {
         throw new WebApplicationException(500);
      }
   }

// client side
      Client client = new ResteasyClient();
      WebTarget target = client.target("http://localhost:9095/smime/signed");
      SignedInput input = target.request().get(SignedInput.class);
      Customer cust = (Customer)input.getEntity(Customer.class)
      input.verify(cert);

    <section>
        <title>application/pkcs7-signature</title>
        <para>
            application/pkcs7-signature is a data format that includes both the data and the signature in one ASN.1
            binary encoding.
        </para>
        <para>
            SignedOutput and SignedInput can be used to return application/pkcs7-signature format in binary form.  Just
            change the @Produces or @Consumes to that media type to send back that format.
        </para>
        <para>
            Also, if your @Produces or @Consumes is text/plain instead, SignedOutput will be base64 encoded and sent
            as a string.
