Signed Tcl Scripts
The Signed Tcl Scripts feature allows you to create a certificate to generate a digital signature and sign a Tool Command Language (Tcl) script with that digital signature. This feature also allows you to work with existing scripts and certificates. The digital signature is verified for authentication and then run with trusted access to the Tcl interpreter. If the script does not contain the digital signature, the script may run in a limited mode for untrusted scripts, or may not run at all.

Information About Signed Tcl Scripts
The Signed Tcl Scripts feature introduces security for the Tcl scripts. This feature allows you to create a certificate to generate a digital signature and sign a Tcl script with that digital signature. This certificate examines the Tcl scripts prior to running them. The script is checked for a digital signature from Cisco. In addition, third parties may also sign a script with a digital signature. You may wish to sign your own internally developed Tcl scripts or you could use a script developed by a third party. If the script contains the correct digital signature, it is believed to be authentic and runs with full access to the Tcl interpreter. If the script does not contain the digital signature, the script may be run in a limited mode, known as Safe Tcl mode, or may not run at all.
To create and use signed Tcl scripts, you should understand the following concepts:
Cisco PKI
Cisco PKI provides certificate management to support security protocols such as IP security (IPsec), secure shell (SSH), and secure socket layer (SSL). A PKI is composed of the following entities:
Peers communicating on a secure network
At least one certification authority (CA) that grants and maintains certificates
Digital certificates, which contain information such as the certificate validity period, peer identity information, encryption keys that are used for secure communication, and the signature of the issuing CA
An optional registration authority (RA) to offload the CA by processing enrollment requests
A distribution mechanism (such as Lightweight Directory Access Protocol [LDAP] or HTTP) for certificate revocation lists (CRLs)
PKI provides you with a scalable, secure mechanism for distributing, managing, and revoking encryption and identity information in a secured data network. Every routing device participating in the secured communication is enrolled in the PKI in a process where the routing device generates a Rivest, Shamir, and Adelman (RSA) key pair (one private key and one public key) and has its identity validated by a trusted routing device (also known as a CA or trustpoint).
After each routing device enrolls in a PKI, every peer (also known as an end host) in a PKI is granted a digital certificate that has been issued by a CA. When peers must negotiate a secured communication session, they exchange digital certificates. Based on the information in the certificate, a peer can validate the identity of another peer and establish an encrypted session with the public keys contained in the certificate.
RSA Key Pair
An RSA key pair consists of a public key and a private key. When setting up your PKI, you must include the public key in the certificate enrollment request. After the certificate has been granted, the public key is included in the certificate so that peers can use it to encrypt data that is sent to the device. The private key is kept on the device and used both to decrypt the data sent by peers and to digitally sign transactions when negotiating with peers.
RSA key pairs contain a key modulus value. The modulus determines the size of the RSA key. The larger the modulus, the more secure the RSA key. However, keys with large modulus values take longer to generate, and encryption and decryption operations take longer with larger keys.
Certificate and Trustpoint
A certification authority (CA), also known as a trustpoint, manages certificate requests and issues certificates to participating network devices. These services (managing certificate requests and issuing certificates) provide centralized key management for the participating devices and are explicitly trusted by the receiver to validate identities and to create digital certificates. Before any PKI operations can begin, the CA generates its own public key pair and creates a self-signed CA certificate; thereafter, the CA can sign certificate requests and begin peer enrollment for the PKI.
You can use a CA provided by a third-party CA vendor, or you can use an internal CA, which is the Cisco Certificate Server.

Generating a Key Pair
The key pair consists of a private key and a public key. The private key is intended to be kept private, accessible only to the creator. The public key is generated from the private key and is intended to be known to the public.
To generate a key pair, use the openssl genrsa command and then the openssl rsa command.

Example: Host% openssl smime -sign -in hello -out hello.pk7 -signer cert.pem -inkey privkey.pem -outform DER -binary |
Step 2 |
ls
-l
This command displays detailed information about each file in the current directory, including the permissions, owners, size, and when last modified. Example: Host% ls -l total 40 -rw-r--r-- 1 janedoe eng12 1659 Jun 12 15:01 cert.pem -rw-r--r-- 1 janedoe eng12 115 Jun 13 10:16 hello -rw-r--r-- 1 janedoe eng12 1876 Jun 13 10:16 hello.pk7 -rw-r--r-- 1 janedoe eng12 1679 Jun 12 14:55 privkey.pem -rw-r--r-- 1 janedoe eng12 451 Jun 12 14:57 pubkey.pem The hello.pk7 file contains the signed Tcl file created by the openssl smime command from the unsigned Tcl file named hello and using the X.509 certificate in the cert.pem file. |
Verifying the Signature
Perform this task to verify that the signature matches the data, use the openssl smime command with the -verify keyword. The original Tcl content must be provided in the input file, because the file does not have the original content.

This command displays detailed information about each file in the current directory, including the permissions, owners, size, and when last modified. Example: Host% ls -l total 40 -rw-r--r-- 1 janedoe eng12 1659 Jun 13 10:18 cert.pem -rw-r--r-- 1 janedoe eng12 115 Jun 13 10:17 hello -rw-r--r-- 1 janedoe eng12 1876 Jun 13 10:16 hello.pk7 -rw-r--r-- 1 janedoe eng12 1679 Jun 12 14:55 privkey.pem -rw-r--r-- 1 janedoe eng12 451 Jun 12 14:57 pubkey.pem The hello file contains the content detached from the signed Tcl file hello.pk7 by running the openssl smime command with the -verify keyword. If the verification was successful, the signer’s certificates are written to the X.509 certificate in the cert.pem file. |
Converting the Signature into Nonbinary Data
Perform this task to convert the signature from binary to nonbinary data.
1.
xxd
-ps
signed-tcl-file

Step 1 |
xxd
-ps
signed-tcl-file
>
nonbinary-signature-file
This command converts the signature in signed-tcl-file from binary to nonbinary data and stores it as a hexadecimal dump in the file nonbinary-signature-file. Example: Host% xxd -ps hello.pk7 > hello.hex |
Step 2 |
Create a script that displays #Cisco Tcl Signature V1.0 in the first line andinserts a comment character (#) at the beginning of each line of the input file and writes each line to a file whose name is formed by appending the text string “_sig” to the name of the input file.
In this example the cat command is used to display the contents of the script file named my_append. Example: Host% cat my_append #!/usr/bin/env expect set my_first {#Cisco Tcl Signature V1.0} set newline {} set my_file [lindex $argv 0] set my_new_file ${my_file}_sig set my_new_handle [open $my_new_file w] set my_handle [open $my_file r] puts $my_new_handle $newline puts $my_new_handle $my_first foreach line [split [read $my_handle] "\n"] { set new_line {#} append new_line $line puts $my_new_handle $new_line } close $my_new_handle close $my_handle |
Step 3 |
Run the script, supplying the name of the file containing the nonbinary signature file (nonbinary-signature-file) as the input argument.
In this example, the my_append script is run with the nonbinary signature file hello.hex specified as input. The output file will be named hello.hex_sig. Example: Host% my_append hello.hex |
Step 4 |
ls
-l
This command displays detailed information about each file in the current directory, including the permissions, owners, size, and when last modified. Example: Host% ls -l total 80 -rw-r--r-- 1 janedoe eng12 1659 Jun 13 10:18 cert.pem -rw-r--r-- 1 janedoe eng12 115 Jun 13 10:17 hello -rw-r--r-- 1 janedoe eng12 3815 Jun 13 10:20 hello.hex -rw-r--r-- 1 janedoe eng12 3907 Jun 13 10:22 hello.hex_sig -rw-r--r-- 1 janedoe eng12 1876 Jun 13 10:16 hello.pk7 -rwxr--r-- 1 janedoe eng12 444 Jun 13 10:22 my_append -rw-r--r-- 1 janedoe eng12 1679 Jun 12 14:55 privkey.pem -rw-r--r-- 1 janedoe eng12 451 Jun 12 14:57 pubkey.pem The hello.hex file contains nonbinary data (stored as a hexadecimal dump) converted from the binary signature in the signed Tcl file hello.pk7. The my_append file contains the script that inserts a comment character at the beginning of each line of the input file. The hello.hex_sig file is the file created by running the my_append script on the nonbinary signature file. |
Step 5 |
cat
signed-tcl-file
commented-nonbinary-signature-file
>
signed-tcl-script
This command appends the contents of the nonbinary signature file (commented-nonbinary-signature-file) to the signed Tcl file stored in DER PKCS#7 format (in the signed-tcl-file file). The concatenated output is written to the file signed-tcl-script. Example: Host% cat hello hello.hex_sig > hello.tcl |
Step 6 |
cat
signed-tcl-script
This command displays the contents of the file signed-tcl-script, which is the concatenation of content detached from the signed Tcl file and the nonbinary signature file. Example: Host% cat hello.tcl puts hello puts "argc = $argc" puts "argv = $argv" puts "argv0 = $argv0" puts "tcl_interactive = $tcl_interactive" #Cisco Tcl Signature V1.0 #3082075006092a864886f70d010702a08207413082073d020101310b3009 #06052b0e03021a0500300b06092a864886f70d010701a08204a13082049d #30820385a003020102020100300d06092a864886f70d0101040500308195 #310b3009060355040613025553311330110603550408130a43616c69666f #726e69613111300f0603550407130853616e204a6f7365311c301a060355 #040a1313436973636f2053797374656d732c20496e632e310e300c060355 #040b13054e53535447310d300b060355040313044a6f686e3121301f0609 #2a864886f70d01090116126a6c6175746d616e40636973636f2e636f6d30 #1e170d3037303631323232303134335a170d313030363131323230313433 #5a308195310b3009060355040613025553311330110603550408130a4361 #6c69666f726e69613111300f0603550407130853616e204a6f7365311c30 #1a060355040a1313436973636f2053797374656d732c20496e632e310e30 #0c060355040b13054e53535447310d300b060355040313044a6f686e3121 #301f06092a864886f70d01090116126a6c6175746d616e40636973636f2e #636f6d30820122300d06092a864886f70d01010105000382010f00308201 #0a0282010100a751eb5ec1f3009738c88a55987c07b759c36f3386342283 #67ea20a89d9483ae85e0c63eeded8ab3eb7a08006689f09136f172183665 #c971099ba54e77ab47706069bbefaaab8c50184396350e4cc870c4c3f477 #88c55c52e2cf411f05b59f0eaec0678ff5cc238fdce2263a9fc6b6c244b8 #ffaead865c19c3d3172674a13b24c8f2c01dd8b1bd491c13e84e29171b85 #f28155d81ac8c69bb25ca23c2921d85fbf745c106e7aff93c72316cbc654 #4a34ea88174a8ba7777fa60662974e1fbac85a0f0aeac925dba6e5e850b8 #7caffce2fe8bb04b61b62f532b5893c081522d538005df81670b931b0ad0 #e1e76ae648f598a9442d5d0976e67c8d55889299147d0203010001a381f5 #3081f2301d0603551d0e04160414bc34132be952ff8b9e1af3b93140a255 #e54a667c3081c20603551d230481ba3081b78014bc34132be952ff8b9e1a #f3b93140a255e54a667ca1819ba48198308195310b300906035504061302 #5553311330110603550408130a43616c69666f726e69613111300f060355 #0407130853616e204a6f7365311c301a060355040a1313436973636f2053 #797374656d732c20496e632e310e300c060355040b13054e53535447310d #300b060355040313044a6f686e3121301f06092a864886f70d0109011612 #6a6c6175746d616e40636973636f2e636f6d820100300c0603551d130405 #30030101ff300d06092a864886f70d010104050003820101000c83c1b074 #6720929c9514af6d5df96f0a95639f047c40a607c83d8362507c58fa7f84 #aa699ec5e5bef61b2308297a0662c653ff446acfbb6f5cb2dd162d939338 #a5e4d78a5c45021e5d4dbabb8784efbf50cab0f5125d164487b31f5cf933 #a9f68f82cd111cbab1739d7f372ec460a7946882874b0a0f22dd53acbd62 #a944a15e52e54a24341b3b8a820f23a5bc7ea7b2278bb56838b8a4051926 #af9c167274ff8449003a4e012bcf4f4b3e280f85209249a390d14df47435 #35efabce720ea3d56803a84a2163db4478ae19d7d987ef6971c8312e280a #aac0217d4fe620c6582a48faa8ea5e3726a99012e1d55f8d61b066381f77 #4158d144a43fb536c77d6a318202773082027302010130819b308195310b #3009060355040613025553311330110603550408130a43616c69666f726e #69613111300f0603550407130853616e204a6f7365311c301a060355040a #1313436973636f2053797374656d732c20496e632e310e300c060355040b #13054e53535447310d300b060355040313044a6f686e3121301f06092a86 #4886f70d01090116126a6c6175746d616e40636973636f2e636f6d020100 #300906052b0e03021a0500a081b1301806092a864886f70d010903310b06 #092a864886f70d010701301c06092a864886f70d010905310f170d303730 #3631333137313634385a302306092a864886f70d01090431160414372cb3 #72dc607990577fd0426104a42ee4158d2b305206092a864886f70d01090f #31453043300a06082a864886f70d0307300e06082a864886f70d03020202 #0080300d06082a864886f70d0302020140300706052b0e030207300d0608 #2a864886f70d0302020128300d06092a864886f70d010101050004820100 #72db6898742f449b26d3ac18f43a1e7178834fb05ad13951bf042e127eea #944b72b96f3b8ecf7eb52f3d0e383bf63651750223efe69eae04287c9dae #b1f31209444108b31d34e46654c6c3cc10b5baba887825c224ec6f376d49 #00ff7ab2d9f88402dab9a2c2ab6aa3ecceeaf5a594bdc7d3a822c55e7daa #aa0c2b067e06967f22a20e406fe21d9013ecc6bd9cd6d402c2749f8bea61 #9f8f87acfbc9e10d6ce91502e34629adca6ee855419afafe6a8233333e14 #ad4c107901d1f2bca4d7ffaadddbc54192a25da662f8b8509782c76977b8 #94879453fbb00486ccc55f88db50fcc149bae066916b350089cde51a6483 #2ec14019611720fc5bbe2400f24225fc |

Generating a Key Pair Example
The following example shows how to generate the key pair--a private key and a public key:
Generate a Private Key: Example
Host% openssl genrsa -out privkey.pem 2048 Generating RSA private key, 2048 bit long modulus .........+++ ...............................................................................+++ e is 65537 (0x10001) Host% ls -l total 8 -rw-r--r-- 1 janedoe eng12 1679 Jun 12 14:55 privkey.pem Host%
Generate a Public Key from the Private Key
Host% openssl rsa -in privkey.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem writing RSA key Host% ls -l total 16 -rw-r--r-- 1 janedoe eng12 1679 Jun 12 14:55 privkey.pem -rw-r--r-- 1 janedoe eng12 451 Jun 12 14:57 pubkey.pem
Generating a Certificate Example
The following example shows how to generate a certificate:
Host% openssl req -new -x509 -key privkey.pem -out cert.pem -days 1095 You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated into your certificate request. What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN. There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank For some fields there will be a default value, If you enter '.', the field will be left blank. ----- Country Name (2 letter code) [GB]:US State or Province Name (full name) [Berkshire]:California Locality Name (eg, city) [Newbury]:San Jose Organization Name (eg, company) [My Company Ltd]:Cisco Systems, Inc. Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:DEPT_ACCT Common Name (eg, your name or your server's hostname) []:Jane Email Address []:janedoe@company.com Host% ls -l total 24 -rw-r--r-- 1 janedoe eng12 1659 Jun 12 15:01 cert.pem -rw-r--r-- 1 janedoe eng12 1679 Jun 12 14:55 privkey.pem -rw-r--r-- 1 janedoe eng12 451 Jun 12 14:57 pubkey.pem
Signing the Tcl Scripts Example
The following example shows how to sign the Tcl scripts:
Host% openssl smime -sign -in hello -out hello.pk7 -signer cert.pem -inkey privkey.pem -outform DER -binary Host% ls -l total 40 -rw-r--r-- 1 janedoe eng12 1659 Jun 12 15:01 cert.pem -rw-r--r-- 1 janedoe eng12 115 Jun 13 10:16 hello -rw-r--r-- 1 janedoe eng12 1876 Jun 13 10:16 hello.pk7 -rw-r--r-- 1 janedoe eng12 1679 Jun 12 14:55 privkey.pem -rw-r--r-- 1 janedoe eng12 451 Jun 12 14:57 pubkey.pem
Verifying the Signature Example
The following example shows how to verify the signature:
Host% openssl smime -verify -in hello.pk7 -CAfile cert.pem -inform DER -content hello puts hello puts "argc = $argc" puts "argv = $argv" puts "argv0 = $argv0" puts "tcl_interactive = $tcl_interactive" Verification successful
Converting the Signature with Nonbinary Data Example
The following example shows how to convert the Tcl signature with nonbinary data:
#Cisco Tcl Signature V1.0 Then append the signature file to the end of the file. Host% xxd -ps hello.pk7 > hello.hex Host% cat my_append #!/usr/bin/env expect set my_first {#Cisco Tcl Signature V1.0} set newline {} set my_file [lindex $argv 0] set my_new_file ${my_file}_sig set my_new_handle [open $my_new_file w] set my_handle [open $my_file r] puts $my_new_handle $newline puts $my_new_handle $my_first foreach line [split [read $my_handle] "\n"] { set new_line {#} append new_line $line puts $my_new_handle $new_line } close $my_new_handle close $my_handle Host% my_append hello.hex Host% ls -l total 80 -rw-r--r-- 1 janedoe eng12 1659 Jun 12 15:01 cert.pem -rw-r--r-- 1

Signed Tcl Scripts |
The Signed Tcl Scripts feature allows you to create a certificate to generate a digital signature and sign a Tcl script with that digital signature. In Cisco IOS XE Release 3.6E, this feature is supported on Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series Switches. The following commands were introduced by this feature: scripting tcl secure-mode, scripting tcl trustpoint name, scripting tcl trustpoint untrusted,and tclsafe. |
Glossary
CA--certification authority. Service responsible for managing certificate requests and issuing certificates to participating IPsec network devices. This service provides centralized key management for the participating devices and is explicitly trusted by the receiver to validate identities and to create digital certificates.
certificates--Electronic documents that bind a user's or device's name to its public key. Certificates are commonly used to validate a digital signature.
CRL--certificate revocation list. Electronic document that contains a list of revoked certificates. The CRL is created and digitally signed by the CA that originally issued the certificates. The CRL contains dates for when the certificate was issued and when it expires. A new CRL is issued when the current CRL expires.
IPsec--IP security
peer certificate--Certificate presented by a peer, which contains the peer's public key and is signed by the trustpoint CA.
PKI--public key infrastructure. System that manages encryption keys and identity information for components of a network that participate in secured communications.
RA--registration authority. Server that acts as a proxy for the CA so that CA functions can continue when the CA is offline. Although the RA is often part of the CA server, the RA could also be an additional application, requiring an additional device to run it.
RSA keys--Public key cryptographic system developed by Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman. An RSA key pair (a public and a private key) is required before you can obtain a certificate for your device.
SHA1--Secure Hash Algorithm 1
SSH--secure shell
SSL--secure socket layer
