I have a program that encrypts passwords using a c# rsa public key which outputs a byte array.
In order for me to transport it easily and maintain data I am converting the bytes directly to a Hex string. Now this is where I am having issue. I send the post data to my script and am now unsure what to convert it to and how to decrypt it.
I am attempting to use http://phpseclib.sourceforge.net/ which I was pointed to by this post RSA decryption using private key The documentation on this is very vague and I don't know what data/type decrypt() should take.
<?php
include('Crypt/RSA.php');
if (isset($_POST['Password']))
{
$Password = $_POST['Password'];
$crypttext = pack("H*",$Password);
echo $cryptext;
$rsa = new Crypt_RSA();
$rsa->loadKey('key.priv');
$decryptedText =$rsa->decrypt($cryptext);
echo "Pass = >" . $decryptedText;
}
?>
Note that this gives no errors but $decryptedText
is empty.
EDIT: Adding more info.
This is my c# encrypt method.
public static string Encrypt(string data, string keyLocation, string keyName)
{
Console.WriteLine("-------------------------BEGIN Encrypt--------------------");
// Variables
CspParameters cspParams = null;
RSACryptoServiceProvider rsaProvider = null;
string publicKeyText = "";
string result = "";
byte[] plainBytes = null;
byte[] encryptedBytes = null;
try
{
// Select target CSP
cspParams = new CspParameters();
cspParams.ProviderType = 1; // PROV_RSA_FULL
rsaProvider = new RSACryptoServiceProvider(2048, cspParams);
// Read public key from Server
WebClient client = new WebClient();
Stream stream = client.OpenRead(keyLocation + "/" + keyName);
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream);
publicKeyText = reader.ReadToEnd();
//
//Console.WriteLine("Key Text : {0}",publicKeyText);
// Import public key
rsaProvider.FromXmlString(publicKeyText);
// Encrypt plain text
plainBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(data);
Console.WriteLine("inputlength : {0}",plainBytes.Length);
encryptedBytes = rsaProvider.Encrypt(plainBytes, false);
result = ByteArrayToString(encryptedBytes);
Console.WriteLine("Encrypted Hex string : {0}", result);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
// Any errors? Show them
Console.WriteLine("Exception encrypting file! More info:");
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
}
rsaProvider.Dispose();
Console.WriteLine("-------------------------END Encrypt--------------------");
return result;
} // Encrypt
public static byte[] StringToByteArray(String hex)
{
int NumberChars = hex.Length / 2;
byte[] bytes = new byte[NumberChars];
using (var sr = new StringReader(hex))
{
for (int i = 0; i < NumberChars; i++)
bytes[i] =
Convert.ToByte(new string(new char[2] { (char)sr.Read(), (char)sr.Read() }), 16);
}
return bytes;
}
public static string ByteArrayToString(byte[] ba)
{
StringBuilder hex = new StringBuilder(ba.Length * 2);
foreach (byte b in ba)
hex.AppendFormat("{0:x2}", b);
return hex.ToString();
}
I modified the php to this
<?php
include('Crypt/RSA.php');
if (isset($_POST['Password']))
{
$Password = $_POST['Password'];
$crypttext = pack("H*",$Password);
echo $cryptext;
$rsa = new Crypt_RSA();
$rsa->loadKey(file_get_contents('key.priv')); // Added file_get_contents() which fixed the key loading
$rsa->setEncryptionMode(CRYPT_RSA_ENCRYPTION_PKCS1); // Added this which is essential thank you guys/gals
$decryptedText =$rsa->decrypt($cryptext);
echo "Pass = >" . $decryptedText; // gives unsual data. This needs to be converted from binary data to base64string I think
echo "Pass = >" . base64_encode($decryptedText); // gives no data.
echo "Pass = >" . base64_decode($decryptedText); // gives no data.
}
?>
I searched around and tried several things to convert back to text and I have tried base64_encode() and base64_decode() but I get nothing and otherwise I get gobbledey gook.
