sbtse 0.3.0

Library and tool to access Swissbit TSE

pysbtse

Python bindings and command-line tool for the Swissbit TSE.

Setup

Install sbtse like any Python package, e.g. with pip. Additionally, you need libWormAPI.so for your architecture in your library path or your working directory. We are not allowed to distribute this library here, so please try to find it on the internet or request it from a Swissbit TSE seller.

Capabilities

This module includes an auto-generated ctypes wrapper for the libWormAPI.so from Swissbit SDK 5.9.1. On top of that, it includes a high-level Python interface to work with the TSE. The Python interface supports all features of the offline SDK except for:

• Online firmware updates and manual firmware transfer (bundled firmware updates are supported)
• Incremental TAR exports
• Export lifetime monitoring information

LAN TSE support is implemented but not tested.

Command line usage

Python library usage

Example:

from sbtse import worm, errors

client_id = "TEST"
admin_pin = "12345"
admin_puk = "123456"
time_admin_pin = "12345"

print("SDK version:", worm.get_version())

with worm.LocalWormContext("/mnt/tse/") as w:
    info = w.info()
    print("Info:", info)
    print("Initial credentials:", w.derive_initial_credentials())
    print("Running self test...")
    try:
        w.run_self_test(client_id)
    except errors.WormErrorClientNotRegistered:
        print("Not registered.")
        if info["hasChangedAdminPin"]:
            w.login_as_admin(admin_pin)
            w.register_client(client_id)
        else:
            w.setup(client_id, admin_pin, admin_puk, time_admin_pin)
        
    if w.bundled_firmware_update_available():
        print("Updating firmware...")
        w.bundled_firmware_update_apply()
    
    print("Flash health:", w.flash_health())
    w.login_as_time_admin(time_admin_pin)
    w.update_time()
    
    print("Registered clients:", w.list_registered_clients())
    
    # Transaction handling
    print("Performing transaction...")
    tx = w.transaction_start(client_id, "", "")
    print("Started transactions:", w.list_started_transactions())
    print("Finished transaction:", w.transaction_finish(client_id, tx["transactionNumber"], "Foobar", "Kassenbeleg"))
    
    # Export capabilities
    print("Last transaction:", w.last_transaction())
    for tx in w.iterate_entries():
        print("Entry:", tx)
    print("Certificate:", w.get_log_message_certificate())
    
    print("Exporting TAR…")
    with open("export.tar", "wb") as f:
        w.export_tar(f)

    print("Exporting filtered TAR…")
    with open("export_tx_filtered.tar", "wb") as f:
        w.export_tar(f, start_transaction=0, end_transaction=2, client_id=client_id)

The example does not show all features. Have a look at help(LocalWormContext) for a full list of methods.

For LAN TSE (untested):

from sbtse import worm

with worm.LANWormContext("https://10.1.1.1:9000", "api_key") as w:
    tses = w.list_connected_tses()
    print("TSEs:", tses)
    w.select_tse(tses[0])
    with w.lock_tse():
        w.setup(...)
    ...

API Usage

The API is executed as a single-thread single-process worker to avoid concurrent access to the TSE which might be problematic. However, this also means that the API might be slow to respond under concurrent access. This is intentional.

Method	Path	Description
GET	/info	Retrieve information about the TSE
GET	/health	Retrieve health status information about the TSE
GET	/certificate	Retrieve the certificate used for signing
POST	/transactions/	Start a transcation
POST	/transactions/{transaction_id}/update	Update a transaction
POST	/transactions/{transaction_id}/finish	Finish a transaction

[GET] /info
