private-key

I have a function that generates a BouncyCastle RSA key pair. I need to encrypt the private key and then store the encrypted private and public keys into separate SQL2008 database fields. I am using the following to get the keypair: private static AsymmetricCipherKeyPair createASymRandomCipher() { RsaKeyPairGenerator r = new RsaKeyPairGenerator(); r.Init(new KeyGenerationParameters(new SecureRandom(), 1024)); AsymmetricCipherKeyPair keys = r.GenerateKeyPair(); return keys; } This is returning the keys fine, but I am not sure how I can then encrypt the private key and subsequently store it in

I'm attempting to create a self signed certificate in KeyVault using the "Self" issuer. $policy = New-AzureKeyVaultCertificatePolicy -SubjectName "CN=$($certificateName)" -IssuerName "Self" -ValidityInMonths 12 $policy.Exportable = $true Add-AzureKeyVaultCertificate -VaultName $vaultName -Name $certificateName -CertificatePolicy $policy However, when getting the certificate back it doesn't appear to have a private key. Creating certificates directly in KeyVault doesn't seem hugely covered online, after digging into the rest API documentation and source code for the powershell cmdlets, I'm

I have private key stored in file in PKCS8 DER format and protected by password. What is the easiest way to read it? Here is the code I use to load unencrypted one: InputStream in = new FileInputStream(privateKeyFilename); byte[] privateKeydata = new byte[in.available()]; in.read(privateKeydata); in.close(); KeyFactory privateKeyFactory = KeyFactory.getInstance("RSA"); PKCS8EncodedKeySpec encodedKeySpec = new PKCS8EncodedKeySpec(privateKeydata); PrivateKey privateKey = privateKeyFactory.generatePrivate(encodedKeySpec); It works fine for unencrypted keys with the same specification. By the way,

We're trying to implement some functionality of a Web-Service from one of our partners. Now, the content which is beeing transmitted, should be encrypted with a public key, which we have to provide. The security-specification says that the public-certificate has to be X.509 standard. Doesn't X.509 rely on the private / public key method? Because I only get one .pem file, containing a private key, and a certificate, but no public key, using the following command: openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -nodes -out ./cert.pem -keyout ./cert.pem Do I have to modify the command in order to create a

This question already has an answer here: Decrypting an OpenSSL PEM Encoded RSA private key with Java? 2 answers Given this .pem file (generated with openssl and encrypted with a password): -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- Proc-Type: 4,ENCRYPTED DEK-Info: DES-EDE3-CBC,AC009672952033EB 2wegzxf3MtncXS1CY3c..... .... .... -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY----- How do I get a PrivateKey object in Java? I wrote the following code but I cannot find the right way to get a KeySpec : PrivateKey readFromPem(File keyFile, String password){ PemReader r = new PemReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream
