Openssl Rsa_generate_key_ex
Posted By admin On 17.04.20While Encrypting a File with a Password from the Command Line using OpenSSLis very useful in its own right, the real power of the OpenSSL library is itsability to support the use of public key cryptograph for encrypting orvalidating data in an unattended manner (where the password is not required toencrypt) is done with public keys.
The Commands to Run
Generate a 2048 bit RSA Key
You can generate a public and private RSA key pair like this:
openssl genrsa -des3 -out private.pem 2048
#if OPENSSLAPICOMPAT RSAgeneratekey(int num, unsigned long e, void (.callback)(int, int, void.), void.cbarg); #endif DESCRIPTION. RSAgeneratekeyex generates a key pair and stores it in the RSA structure provided in rsa. The pseudo-random number generator must be seeded prior to calling RSAgeneratekeyex. RSAgeneratekeyex generates a key pair and stores it in the RSA structure provided in rsa. The pseudo-random number generator must be seeded prior to calling RSAgeneratekeyex. The modulus size will be of length bits, and the public exponent will be e. Key sizes with num should be considered insecure. The OpenSSL version has an outer formatting that effectively states 'this is an RSA public key', following by the actual raw public key key (which is listed as a 'bitstring' in the ASN.1 parse). If you were to parse the bitstring as ASN.1, you'd see the public key.
That generates a 2048-bit RSA key pair, encrypts them with a password you provideand writes them to a file. You need to next extract the public key file. You willuse this, for instance, on your web server to encrypt content so that it canonly be read with the private key.

openssl rsa -in private.pem -outform PEM -pubout -out public.pem
The -pubout flag is really important. Be sure to include it.
Next open the public.pem and ensure that it starts with-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----. This is how you know that this file is thepublic key of the pair and not a private key.
To check the file from the command line you can use the less command, like this:
less public.pem
Do Not Run This, it Exports the Private Key
A previous version of the post gave this example in error.
openssl rsa -in private.pem -out private_unencrypted.pem -outform PEM
The error is that the -pubout was dropped from the end of the command.That changes the meaning of the command from that of exporting the public keyto exporting the private key outside of its encrypted wrapper. Inspecting theoutput file, in this case private_unencrypted.pem clearly shows that the keyis a RSA private key as it starts with -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----.
Visually Inspect Your Key Files
It is important to visually inspect you private and public key files to makesure that they are what you expect. OpenSSL will clearly explain the nature ofthe key block with a -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- or -----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----.
You can use less to inspect each of your two files in turn:
less private.pemto verify that it starts with a-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----less public.pemto verify that it starts with a-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----
The next section shows a full example of what each key file should look like.
The Generated Key Files
The generated files are base64-encoded encryption keys in plain text format.If you select a password for your private key, its file will be encrypted withyour password. Be sure to remember this password or the key pair becomes useless.
The private.pem file looks something like this:
The public key, public.pem, file looks like:
Protecting Your Keys
Depending on the nature of the information you will protect, it’s important tokeep the private key backed up and secret. The public key can be distributedanywhere or embedded in your web application scripts, such as in your PHP,Ruby, or other scripts. Again, backup your keys!
Remember, if the key goes away the data encrypted to it is gone. Keeping aprinted copy of the key material in a sealed envelope in a bank safety depositbox is a good way to protect important keys against loss due to fire or harddrive failure.
Oh, and one last thing.
If you, dear reader, were planning any funny business with the private key that I have just published here. Know that they were made especially for this series of blog posts. I do not use them for anything else.

Hi there, I'm having some trouble getting PKI to install on macOS High Sierra. I've tried a few different approaches (including installing OpenSSL with Homebrew), but things always get stuck while Any suggestions? The trace above is without using brew's openssl, so PKI is downloading headers straight from Apple, but no luck. |

Interesting, for future reference: it turns out that I hadn't re-run |
