TASN1EncPKCS8 Class Reference

class TASN1EncPKCS8

Encodes the given private key using the pkcs#8 standard.

The returned ASN1 sequence respects the following grammar:

PrivateKeyInfo ::= SEQUENCE { version Version, privateKeyAlgorithm PrivateKeyAlgorithmIdentifier, privateKey PrivateKey, attributes [0] IMPLICIT Attributes OPTIONAL }

Version ::= INTEGER PrivateKeyAlgorithmIdentifier ::= AlgorithmIdentifier PrivateKey ::= OCTET STRING Attributes ::= SET OF Attribute

The PrivateKeyAlgorithmIdentifier format it depends on the specific algorithm it represents. For RSA is specified in the PKCS#1 document, for DSA in PKCS#11.

Or, in the case of encrypted private keys:

EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo ::= SEQUENCE { encryptionAlgorithm EncryptionAlgorithmIdentifier, encryptedData EncryptedData }

EncryptionAlgorithmIdentifier ::= AlgorithmIdentifier EncryptedData ::= OCTET STRING

AlgorithmIdentifier is the ASN1 sequence defined in the PKCS#5 standard.

AddAttributesL(CASN1EncSequence &, const TDesC8 &)

void	AddAttributesL	(	CASN1EncSequence &	aSeq,
			const TDesC8 &	aAttribute
		)	[private, static]

Adds the given DER encoded ASN1 structure to the given sequence. If the structure is KNullDesC8 nothing is added. This method is used by the encoder to add the optional pkcs8 attributes to the ASN1 pkcs8 key it generates. PKCS8 attributes are stored as uninterpreted DER encoded binary data in the keystore.

Parameters

CASN1EncSequence & aSeq	The sequence to which we want to add the attributes.
const TDesC8 & aAttribute	The DER encoded ASN1 structure.

CalculateRSAPrivExpL(const CRSAPrivateKeyCRT &, const CRSAPublicKey &)

const RInteger	CalculateRSAPrivExpL	(	const CRSAPrivateKeyCRT &	aPrivateKey,
			const CRSAPublicKey &	aPublicKey
		)	[private, static]

Given a CRT RSA private key it calculates the RSA private exponent "d".

Parameters

const CRSAPrivateKeyCRT & aPrivateKey	The RSA private key in CRT format we are interested in.
const CRSAPublicKey & aPublicKey	The RSA public key

ElementToOctetL(CASN1EncBase &)

CASN1EncOctetString *

ElementToOctetL

(

CASN1EncBase &

aAsnElement

)

[private, static]

Converts the ASN1 element to an octet string.

Parameters

CASN1EncBase & aAsnElement

The ASN1 element to be converted

			const CRSAPublicKey &	aPublicKey,
			CPBEncryptor &	aEncryptor,
			CPBEncryptParms &	aData,
			const TDesC8 &	attributes
		)	[static]

Encodes an RSA key in encrypted format.

Parameters

			CPBEncryptor &	aEncryptor,
			CPBEncryptParms &	aData,
			const TDesC8 &	attributes
		)	[static]

Encodes a DSA key in encrypted format.

Parameters

const CDSAPrivateKey & aPrivateKey	The private key to be encoded.
CPBEncryptor & aEncryptor	The object used to encrypt the data.

			const CRSAPublicKey &	aPublicKey,
			const TDesC8 &	attributes
		)	[static]

Returns the ASN1 PKCS#8 encoding of a RSA private key.

The private key syntax for this key type is defined in the PKCS#1 document. It follows the grammar:

RSAPrivateKey ::= SEQUENCE { version Version, modulus INTEGER, -- n publicExponent INTEGER, -- e privateExponent INTEGER, -- d prime1 INTEGER, -- p prime2 INTEGER, -- q exponent1 INTEGER, -- d mod (p-1) exponent2 INTEGER, -- d mod (q-1) coefficient INTEGER, -- (inverse of q) mod p otherPrimeInfos OtherPrimeInfos OPTIONAL }

Encodes the given private key using the pkcs#8 standard.

The returned ASN1 sequence respects the following grammar:

PrivateKeyInfo ::= SEQUENCE { version Version, privateKeyAlgorithm PrivateKeyAlgorithmIdentifier, privateKey PrivateKey, attributes [0] IMPLICIT Attributes OPTIONAL }

Version ::= INTEGER PrivateKeyAlgorithmIdentifier ::= AlgorithmIdentifier PrivateKey ::= OCTET STRING Attributes ::= SET OF Attribute

Parameters

const CRSAPrivateKeyCRT & aPrivateKey	The private key to be encoded (must be in CRT format)
const CRSAPublicKey & aPublicKey	The corresponding public key.
const TDesC8 & attributes	A set of attributes of the extended information that is encrypted along with the private-key information.
