How to get user id from PGP public key in Java?


I am using PGP to encrypt files and then transfer using apache-camel. I was able to encrypt and decrypt using camel-crypto.

PGPDataFormat pgpDataFormat=new PGPDataFormat();
pgpDataFormat.setKeyFileName("0x6E1A09A4-pub.asc");
pgpDataFormat.setKeyUserid("user@domain.com");
pgpDataFormat.marshal(exchange, exchange.getIn().getBody(File.class), exchange.getIn().getBody(OutputStream.class));

I need to provide the KeyUserId and public key. I want to extract this user id from public key.

$ gpg --import 0x6E1A09A4-pub.asc                    

gpg: key 6E1A09A4: public key "User <user@domain.com>" imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:               imported: 1  (RSA: 1)

If i import it using gpg command line cli, it shows the userId. How can get that userId from public key in java?


Solution

  • private PGPPublicKey getPGPPublicKey(String filePath) throws IOException, PGPException {
        InputStream inputStream = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(filePath));
        PGPPublicKeyRingCollection pgpPublicKeyRingCollection = new PGPPublicKeyRingCollection(PGPUtil.getDecoderStream(inputStream), new JcaKeyFingerprintCalculator());
        Iterator keyRingIterator = pgpPublicKeyRingCollection.getKeyRings();
        while (keyRingIterator.hasNext()) {
            PGPPublicKeyRing keyRing = (PGPPublicKeyRing) keyRingIterator.next();
            Iterator keyIterator = keyRing.getPublicKeys();
            while (keyIterator.hasNext()) {
                PGPPublicKey key = (PGPPublicKey) keyIterator.next();
                if (key.isEncryptionKey()) {
                    return key;
                }
            }
        }
        inputStream.close();
        throw new IllegalArgumentException("Can't find encryption key in key ring.");
    }
    
    private String getUserId(String publicKeyFile) throws IOException, PGPException {
        PGPPublicKey pgpPublicKey = getPGPPublicKey(publicKeyFile);
        // You can iterate and return all the user ids if needed
        return (String) pgpPublicKey.getUserIDs().next();
    }
