Currently I need to generate a keypair for GOST 34.10-2001 signature algorithm. It was pleasant to discover that bouncy castle provider has supported this algorithm, but I can not generate a keypair and save it to any keystore of any type. Currently I tried this command (this command works great if keyalg
is DSA
and sigalg is SHA1withDSA
):
keytool -genkey -alias test1 -keyalg ECGOST3410 -keysize 512 -sigalg GOST3411withECGOST3410 \
-keypass test_1 -validity 1000 -storetype JKS -keystore test1.jks -storepass test_1 -v \
-provider org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider -providerpath "bcprov-jdk16-1.46.jar"
But I've got an error:
keytool error: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: unknown key size.
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: unknown key size.

Exactly the same error I can see when I try to manipulate keysize or remove keysize
option from the command. But there is some special case. When I set keysize
to 256
I've got another error:
keytool error: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: key size not configurable.

Currently I have no idea how to generate a keypair and how to save it to a keystore. Also I've got some java code that can generate a key pair for GOST 34.10-2001 algorithm:
Security.addProvider(new org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider());
KeyPairGenerator kpg = KeyPairGenerator.getInstance("ECGOST3410", "BC");
kpg.initialize(new ECGenParameterSpec("GostR3410-2001-CryptoPro-A"));
KeyPair kp = kpg.generateKeyPair();
This code sample uses ECGenParameterSpec
class to initialize a key pair generator, so may be I should provide it somehow to the keytool (-providerArg provider_arg
or -Jjavaoption
)?
P.S. I think that I should provide curve name as some parameter but I can not determine what parameter I should use.
