You don’t need PyCrypto or PyMe, fine though those packages may be – you will have all kinds of problems building under Windows. Instead, why not avoid the rabbit-holes and do what I did? Use gnupg 1.4.9. You don’t need to do a full installation on end-user machines – just gpg.exe and iconv.dll from the … Read more
Your teacher gave you: Public Key: (10142789312725007, 5) which means n = 10142789312725007 e = 5 where n is the modulus and e is the public exponent. In addition, you’re given Private Key: (10142789312725007, 8114231289041741) meaning that d = 8114231289041741 where d is the decryption exponent that should remain secret. You can “break” RSA by … Read more
A library is not necessary. Enter crypto. Here’s a janky little module you could use to encrypt/decrypt strings with RSA keys: var crypto = require(“crypto”); var path = require(“path”); var fs = require(“fs”); var encryptStringWithRsaPublicKey = function(toEncrypt, relativeOrAbsolutePathToPublicKey) { var absolutePath = path.resolve(relativeOrAbsolutePathToPublicKey); var publicKey = fs.readFileSync(absolutePath, “utf8”); var buffer = Buffer.from(toEncrypt); var encrypted = … Read more
openssl rsa -in privkey.pem -pubout > key.pub That writes the public key to key.pub
Note: if you don’t want to add -S all the time to make sure your commits are signed, there is a proposal (branch ‘pu‘ for now, December 2013, so no guarantee it will make it to a git release) to add a config which will take care of that option for you. Update May 2014: … Read more
You can’t just change the delimiters from —- BEGIN SSH2 PUBLIC KEY —- to —–BEGIN RSA PUBLIC KEY—– and expect that it will be sufficient to convert from one format to another (which is what you’ve done in your example). This article has a good explanation about both formats. What you get in an RSA … Read more
openssl genrsa -out mykey.pem 1024 will actually produce a public – private key pair. The pair is stored in the generated mykey.pem file. openssl rsa -in mykey.pem -pubout > mykey.pub will extract the public key and print that out. Here is a link to a page that describes this better. EDIT: Check the examples section … Read more
The key part of the article “Git on the Server – Setting Up the Server” is: you need to add some developer SSH public keys to the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file for that user. Let’s assume you’ve received a few keys by e-mail and saved them to temporary files. Again, the public keys look something like this: … Read more
