Generating RSA keys in PKCS#1 format in Java--转

原文地址：https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7611383/generating-rsa-keys-in-pkcs1-format-in-java

When I generate an RSA key pair using the Java API, the public key is encoded in the X.509 format and the private key is encoded in the PKCS#8 format. I'm looking to encode both as PKCS#1. Is this possible? I've spent a considerable amount of time going through the Java docs but haven't found a solution. The result is the same when I use the Java and the Bouncy Castle providers.

Here is a snippet of the code:

KeyPairGenerator keygen = KeyPairGenerator.getInstance("RSA","BC");
keygen.initialize(1024);
KeyPair pair = keygen.generateKeyPair();
PrivateKey priv = pair.getPrivate();
PublicKey pub = pair.getPublic();
byte[] privBytes = priv.getEncoded();
byte[] pubBytes = pub.getEncoded();

The two resulting byte arrays are formatted as X.509 (public) and PKCS#8 (private).

Any help would be much appreciated. There are some similar posts but none really answer my question.

Thank You

You will need BouncyCastle:

import org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Encodable;
import org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Primitive;
import org.bouncycastle.asn1.pkcs.PrivateKeyInfo;
import org.bouncycastle.asn1.x509.SubjectPublicKeyInfo;
import org.bouncycastle.util.io.pem.PemObject;
import org.bouncycastle.util.io.pem.PemWriter;

The code snippets below have been checked and found working with Bouncy Castle 1.52.

Private key

Convert private key from PKCS8 to PKCS1:

PrivateKey priv = pair.getPrivate();
byte[] privBytes = priv.getEncoded();

PrivateKeyInfo pkInfo = PrivateKeyInfo.getInstance(privBytes);
ASN1Encodable encodable = pkInfo.parsePrivateKey();
ASN1Primitive primitive = encodable.toASN1Primitive();
byte[] privateKeyPKCS1 = primitive.getEncoded();

Convert private key in PKCS1 to PEM:

PemObject pemObject = new PemObject("RSA PRIVATE KEY", privateKeyPKCS1);
StringWriter stringWriter = new StringWriter();
PemWriter pemWriter = new PemWriter(stringWriter);
pemWriter.writeObject(pemObject);
pemWriter.close();
String pemString = stringWriter.toString();

Check with command line OpenSSL that the key format is as expected:

openssl rsa -in rsa_private_key.pem -noout -text

Public key

Convert public key from X.509 SubjectPublicKeyInfo to PKCS1:

PublicKey pub = pair.getPublic();
byte[] pubBytes = pub.getEncoded();

SubjectPublicKeyInfo spkInfo = SubjectPublicKeyInfo.getInstance(pubBytes);
ASN1Primitive primitive = spkInfo.parsePublicKey();
byte[] publicKeyPKCS1 = primitive.getEncoded();

Convert public key in PKCS1 to PEM:

PemObject pemObject = new PemObject("RSA PUBLIC KEY", publicKeyPKCS1);
StringWriter stringWriter = new StringWriter();
PemWriter pemWriter = new PemWriter(stringWriter);
pemWriter.writeObject(pemObject);
pemWriter.close();
String pemString = stringWriter.toString();

Check with command line OpenSSL that the key format is as expected:

openssl rsa -in rsa_public_key.pem -RSAPublicKey_in -noout -text

Thanks
