I have a String stored in a variable:
-----BEGIN RSA PUBLIC KEY-----
MIGHAoGBANAahj75ZIz9nXqW2H83nGcUao4wNyYZ9Z1kiNTUYQl7ob/RBmDzs5rY
mUahXAg0qyS7+a55eU/csShf5ATGzAXv+DDPcz8HrSTcHMEFpuyYooX6PrIZ07Ma
XtsJ2J4mhlySI5uOZVRDoaFY53MPQx5gud2quDz759IN/0gnDEEVAgED
-----END RSA PUBLIC KEY-----
I generate public key as:
public static PublicKey getFromString(String keystr) throws Exception
{
//String S1= asciiToHex(keystr);
byte[] keyBytes = new sun.misc.BASE64Decoder().decodeBuffer(keystr);
ASN1InputStream in = new ASN1InputStream(keyBytes);
DERObject obj = in.readObject();
RSAPublicKeyStructure pStruct = RSAPublicKeyStructure.getInstance(obj);
RSAPublicKeySpec spec = new RSAPublicKeySpec(pStrcut.getModulus(), pStruct.getPublicExponent());
KeyFactory kf = KeyFactory.getInstance("RSA");
return kf.generatePublic(spec);
}
How to generate the PrivateKey using bouncy castle in android
Without using bouncy castle i am generating private key like this:
public static PrivateKey getKey(String mKey){
try{
// Read in the key into a String
StringBuilder pkcs8Lines = new StringBuilder();
BufferedReader rdr = new BufferedReader(new StringReader(mKey));
String line;
while ((line = rdr.readLine()) != null) {
pkcs8Lines.append(line);
}
// Remove the "BEGIN" and "END" lines, as well as any whitespace
String pkcs8Pem = pkcs8Lines.toString();
pkcs8Pem = pkcs8Pem.replace("-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----", "");
pkcs8Pem = pkcs8Pem.replace("-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----", "");
pkcs8Pem = pkcs8Pem.replaceAll("\\s+","");
// Base64 decode the result
byte [] pkcs8EncodedBytes = Base64.decode(pkcs8Pem, Base64.DEFAULT);
// extract the private key
PKCS8EncodedKeySpec keySpec = new PKCS8EncodedKeySpec(pkcs8EncodedBytes);
KeyFactory kf = KeyFactory.getInstance("RSA");
PrivateKey privKey = kf.generatePrivate(keySpec);
System.out.println(privKey);
return privKey;
}catch (Exception ex){
ex.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
I want to achieve the same using Bouncy Castle
I'm a little confused on why you insist on using bouncycastle, but if you really want to use bouncycastle then the CMS/PKIX library has a nice helper class called PEMParser
that will shorten the code needed, e.g:
public static PrivateKey getPemPrivateKey(String mKey) throws Exception {
PEMParser pemParser = new PEMParser(new StringReader(mKey));
final PEMKeyPair pemKeyPair = (PEMKeyPair) pemParser.readObject();
final byte[] encoded = pemKeyPair.getPrivateKeyInfo().getEncoded();
KeyFactory kf = KeyFactory.getInstance("RSA");
return kf.generatePrivate(new PKCS8EncodedKeySpec(encoded));
}
