Convert google verify signature code (kotlin) to PHP (laravel)


I need to verify a signature, which is a security feature in google's developer android api. They have a working example, which is written in kotlin.

Atm. I am trying to convert this code:

val decodedKey = Base64.decode(encodedPublicKey, Base64.DEFAULT)
val keyFactory = KeyFactory.getInstance("RSA")
return keyFactory.generatePublic(X509EncodedKeySpec(decodedKey))

The encodedPublicKey is fix. I get it from google.

I installed phpseclib and currently I try to convert the above code:

$decodedKey = base64_decode($encodedPublicKey);
$x509 = new X509();
$x509->loadX509($encodedPublicKey);
$rsa = $x509->getPublicKey();
return [$rsa, $x509];

I discovered that not even base64_decode($encodedPublicKey) works. It returns nothing, while the kotlin code Base64.decode(encodedPublicKey, Base64.DEFAULT) returns many decoded keys, example:

D/IABUtil/Security: decodedKey 0 :48

EDIT

kotlins Base64.decode(encodedPublicKey, Base64.DEFAULT) returns a bytearray. I managed to get the same result by using unpack() in php:

$decodedKey = unpack('c*', $decodedKey); // ByteArray

Solution

  • So at the end I used open ssl for this.

    $publicKey = env('BASE_64_ENCODED_PUBLIC_KEY');
    
    $key = "-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----\n" . chunk_split($publicKey, 64, "\n") . "-----END PUBLIC KEY-----";
    $key = openssl_get_publickey($key);
    if (false === $key) {
        return ["Could not get public Key"];
    }
    
    $verify = openssl_verify($originalJson, base64_decode($signature), $key, "sha1WithRSAEncryption");

    It was important to convert the public key into the correct format. It must have 64 characters in each line.
