"""
Securely back up private keys from one Cryptech HSM to another.
This works by having the destination HSM (the one importing keys)
create an RSA keypair (the "KEKEK"), the public key of which can then
be imported into the source HSM (the one exporting keys) and used to
encrypt AES key encryption keys (KEKs) which in turn can be used to
wrap the private keys being transfered. Transfers are encoded in
JSON; the underlying ASN.1 formats are SubjectPublicKeyInfo (KEKEK
public key) and PKCS #8 EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo (everything else).
NOTE WELL: while this process makes it POSSIBLE to back up keys
securely, it is not sufficient by itself: the operator MUST make
sure only to export keys using a KEKEK known to have been generated by
the target HSM. See the unit tests in the source repository for
an example of how to fake this in a few lines of Python.
We also implement a software-based variant on this backup mechanism,
for cases where there is no second HSM. The protocol is much the
same, but the KEKEK is generated in software and encrypted using a
symmetric key derived from a passphrase using PBKDF2. This requires
the PyCrypto library, and is only as secure as memory on the machine
where you're running it (so it's theoretically vulnerable to root or
anybody with access to /dev/mem). Don't use this mode unless you
understand the risks, and see the "NOTE WELL" above.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. Be careful out there.
