I have the following c# code to generate a digital signature from a private key:
static string Sign(string text, string certificate)
{
X509Certificate2 cert = new X509Certificate2(certificate, "TestPassword", X509KeyStorageFlags.Exportable);
RSACryptoServiceProvider rsa = (RSACryptoServiceProvider)cert.PrivateKey;
// Hash the data
SHA1Managed sha1 = new SHA1Managed();
ASCIIEncoding encoding = new ASCIIEncoding();
byte[] data = encoding.GetBytes(text);
byte[] hash = sha1.ComputeHash(data);
// Sign the hash
return System.Convert.ToBase64String(rsa.SignHash(hash, CryptoConfig.MapNameToOID("SHA1")));
}
I then created what I thought was the equivalent java code:
public static String signData(String dataToSign, String keyFile) {
FileInputStream keyfis = null;
try {
keyfis = new FileInputStream(fileName);
KeyStore store = KeyStore.getInstance("PKCS12");
store.load(keyfis, "TestPassword".toCharArray());
KeyStore.PrivateKeyEntry pvk = (KeyStore.PrivateKeyEntry)store.
getEntry("testkey",
new KeyStore.PasswordProtection("TestPassword".toCharArray()));
PrivateKey privateKey = (PrivateKey)pvk.getPrivateKey();
byte[] data = dataToSign.getBytes("US-ASCII");
MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA1");
byte[] hashed = md.digest(data);
Signature rsa = Signature.getInstance("SHA1withRSA");
rsa.initSign(privateKey);
rsa.update(data);
return Base64.encode(rsa.sign());
} catch (Exception ex) {
Logger.getLogger(this.getClass().getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
} finally {
if ( keyfis != null ) {
try { keyfis.close() } catch (Exception ex) { keyfis = null; }
}
}
return null;
}
Unfortunately the digital signatures do not match.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: If I remove the MessageDigest from the java code then the output is the same. Why? I thought hashing is needed.
