B4J Question RSA Encription problem

[Pablo Torres]

Hi, I have the following code

    Dim su As StringUtils
                       
    Dim Bconv As ByteConverter
       
    Dim ForeignPubKeyString As String
    Dim ForeignPubKeyBytes(0) As Byte
    Dim ForeignPrivKeyBytes(0) As Byte
    Dim ForeignPrivKeyString As String
       
    Dim MessageBytes(0),MessageBytesEncrypted(0) As Byte
    Dim MessageStringEncrypted As String
       
    Dim ForeignKPG As KeyPairGenerator
    Dim c As Cipher
    c.Initialize("RSA/ECB/PKCS1Padding")
    ForeignKPG.Initialize("RSA", 2048)
    ForeignPubKeyString = File.ReadString(File.DirApp & "\certs\srv\CAPTICKET\","public.cer")
                       
    'Convert the Public Key
    ForeignPubKeyString=ForeignPubKeyString.Replace("-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----","")
    ForeignPubKeyString=ForeignPubKeyString.Replace("-----END CERTIFICATE-----","")
    ForeignPubKeyBytes=su.DecodeBase64(ForeignPubKeyString)
'******************THIS IS WHERE OT GETS THE ERROR********************
    ForeignKPG.publicKeyFromBytes(ForeignPubKeyBytes)
'********************************************************************    ForeignPubKeyString=Bconv.StringFromBytes(ForeignPubKeyBytes, "UTF8")
           
    'Convert the Private Key
    ForeignPrivKeyString = File.ReadString(File.DirApp & "\certs\srv\CAPTICKET\","private.key")
    ForeignPrivKeyString=ForeignPrivKeyString.Replace("-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----","")
    ForeignPrivKeyString=ForeignPrivKeyString.Replace("-----END PRIVATE KEY-----","")
    ForeignPrivKeyBytes=su.DecodeBase64(ForeignPrivKeyString)
    ForeignKPG.PrivateKeyFromBytes(ForeignPrivKeyBytes)
    ForeignPrivKeyString=Bconv.StringFromBytes(ForeignPrivKeyBytes, "UTF8")
                   
                       
    'Local test with server's public & private key
    MessageBytes = Bconv.StringToBytes(text, "UTF8")
    MessageBytesEncrypted = c.encrypt(MessageBytes, ForeignKPG.PublicKey, False)
    MessageStringEncrypted=Bconv.HexFromBytes(MessageBytesEncrypted)
    MessageStringEncrypted=su.EncodeBase64(MessageBytesEncrypted)
   
    Return MessageStringEncrypted

I dont know what It's wrong, I'm just trying to encode a string (text) using RSA2048 and a public Key I created

This is the error Log:

I'm also uploading the public cert and the private key files

Any help will be very appreciated

It is based on this tutorial: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...o-communicate-with-php-openssl.59445/#content , right?

Have you tried to run the tutorial example?

 

[Pablo Torres]

I managed to run the example, and also managed to get it working with .pem keys (private.pem, public.pem), but I cant get it working with public.cer and private.key, and thats what I need.
I understand that there is a diference between .key, .pem and .cer, nut I´m not able to solve it

Any help?
