private-key

I have a certificate that has to be imported into Certificates/Trusted Root Certification Authorities and has a corresponding private key. To actually access the key from code you need to set private key permissions to grant full access to particular IIS application pool. I totally understand that but the problem is that this can only be set on personal certificates and not trusted root ones. I've tried adding the same certificate to Personal store and the following code doesn't break: X509Store store = new X509Store(StoreName.Root, StoreLocation.LocalMachine); store.Open(OpenFlags.ReadOnly);

I have a .key file, when I do openssl rsa -text -in file.key I get unable to load Private Key 140000419358368:error:0906D06C:PEM routines:PEM_read_bio:no start line:pem_lib.c:703:Expecting: ANY PRIVATE KEY Also I have a .cer file and when I do openssl x509 -text -in file.cer I get unable to load certificate 140387178489504:error:0906D06C:PEM routines:PEM_read_bio:no start line:pem_lib.c:703:Expecting: TRUSTED CERTIFICATE But if as pointed here I run the command like: openssl x509 -text -inform DER -in file.cer I get Certificate: Data: Version: 3 (0x2) Some more information ... -----BEGIN

For aesthetic reasons, I would like to use the same private key that I used to create my distribution certificate a while ago, to create a new development certificate (my old one expired). But the "How to create a development certificate:" on the iOS provisioning portal require that you use Keychain Access create a new key. When I try to do Keychain Access > Certificate Assistant > Request a Certificate From a Certificate Authority With "(my key name)" the Certificate Assistant doesn't actually create a CSR file. Does anyone know if this can be done, and if so, how? First, I had to export my

How can I get the signature of a string using SHA1withRSA if I already have the Private Key as byte[] or String ? Prabath Siriwardena I guess what you say is you know the key pair before hand and want to sign/verify with that. Please see the following code. import java.security.KeyPair; import java.security.KeyPairGenerator; import java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException; import java.security.Signature; import sun.misc.BASE64Encoder; public class MainClass { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { KeyPair keyPair = getKeyPair(); byte[] data = "test".getBytes("UTF8"); Signature

I have a .key file which is PEM formatted private key file. I didn't make this file but I got this from somewhere. I wanted to see its MD5 hash with openssl tool like below command. openssl rsa -in server.key -modulus -noout But this generates below error. unable to load Private Key 13440:error:0906D06C:PEM routines:PEM_read_bio:no start line:.\crypto\pem\pem_lib.c:648:Expecting: ANY PRIVATE KEY Here's some asn1parse of the .key file. openssl asn1parse -in server.key 0:d=0 hl=4 l= 603 cons: SEQUENCE 4:d=1 hl=2 l= 1 prim: INTEGER :00 7:d=1 hl=3 l= 129 prim: INTEGER

I'm trying to find a way to read a privateKey created using OpenSSL PKCS#8 RSA in C# without use external library. Does Someone know how i can do this? The easiest way to do this with an external library, is using the (free) Chillkat Public / Private Key Component : using that, importing the key can be done using just a few lines of code and if you're willing to pay the $149 or so for the rest of the library, it will make dealing with general crypto concepts a lot easier as well. And unlike the regular Microsoft .NET Framework, the Mono project does seem to have a PKCS8 implementation for

I'm currently working on a way to convert keys into strings and vice versa. It works for the public key conversions, and converts a private key into a String. For some reason the same code won't convert a String back into a private key, which I just can't figure out. The converter code is: import java.security.KeyFactory; import java.security.PrivateKey; import java.security.PublicKey; import java.security.spec.X509EncodedKeySpec; import sun.misc.BASE64Decoder; import sun.misc.BASE64Encoder; @SuppressWarnings("restriction") public class KeyConvert { public static PublicKey stringToPublicKey
