ECTester

Tests support and behavior of smartcards with JavaCard platform with focus on Eliptic curves (TYPE_EC_FP and TYPE_EC_F2M).

Usage

  1. Upload simpleECC.cap using your favorite tool (e.g., GlobalPlatformPro tool)
  2. Run java -jar SimpleAPDU.jar
  3. Inspect output log with annotated results

Following operations are tested: - Allocation of new KeyPair class for specified parameters - Generation of keypair with default curve - Setting of custom curve and keypair generation - Generation of shared secret via ECDH - Behavior of card when invalid curves/points are provided (shoudl fail)

Example output

EC type:                                            ALG_EC_FP
EC key length (bits):                               224 bits
  KeyPair object allocation:                        OK    (0x9000)
  Generate key with def curve (fails if no def):    fail  (ILLEGAL_VALUE,   0x1)
  Set valid custom curve:                           OK    (0x9000)
  Generate key with valid curve:                    OK    (0x9000)
!!ECDH agreement with valid point:                  fail  (0x6f00)
  ECDH agreement with invalid point (fail is good): fail  (unknown, 0x6f00)
  Set invalid custom curve (fail is good):          fail  (ILLEGAL_VALUE,   0x1)
  Generate key with invalid curve (fail is good):   fail  (skipped, 0xee1)

Explanation: ALG_EC_FP with 224b curve was tested. Is supported by card (KeyPair object allocation: OK), don't have preset default curve (Generate key with def curve: fail), custom curve can be set (Set valid custom curve: OK), new keypair can be generated (Generate key with valid curve: OK), ECDH key agreement failed to execute (ECDH agreement with valid point: fail) altough it was supposed to suceed (log line is therefore marked with !!), ECDH wil fail (expected behavior) if invalid point is provided (ECDH agreement with invalid point: fail), invalid custom curve cannot be set (expected behavior) (Set invalid custom curve: fail) and new keypair cannot be generated with invalid curve (Generate key with invalid curve: skipped) - last test was skipped as invalid curve canot be set.
