Android KeyStore parameters building










0















I'm trying to use RSA encryption with KeyStore and I need to specify Parameters for KeyPairGenerator and I'm lost here. KeyPairGeneratorPair is kinda straightforward, but I don't understand KeyGenParameterSpec for API>=23



That's what I did, I think I got everything in else part, but now I'm confused about KeyGenParameterSpec



What exactly public exponent in RSAKeyGenParameterSpec is?



What Digests in .setDigests should i specify?



There's also .setBlockMode() method to call, and since I'm using RSA and RSA/None/OAEPWithSHA1AndMGF1Paddingwhich block mode to set? ECB, CBC?



if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) 
generator.initialize(new KeyGenParameterSpec.Builder("PrivateKey", KeyProperties.PURPOSE_ENCRYPT else
generator.initialize(new KeyPairGeneratorSpec.Builder(MainActivity.this)
.setAlias("PrivateKey")
.setSerialNumber(BigInteger.ONE)
.setSubject(new X500Principal("CN=" + "PrivateKey"))
.setStartDate(calendar.getTime())
.setEndDate(endCalendar.getTime())
.setKeySize(2048).build()

);


Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("RSA/None/OAEPWithSHA1AndMGF1Padding");

          Method setDigests() sets digest method for your padding mode and setBlockMode() sets encryption mode which depends on your work.



          I think you have set a lot of unnecessary field. For example I use this method to create my own RSA key:



          public boolean createKey() 
          try
          KeyPairGenerator keyPairGenerator = KeyPairGenerator.getInstance(
          KeyProperties.KEY_ALGORITHM_RSA,
          "AndroidKeyStore"
          );

          mKeyStore.load(null);
          KeyGenParameterSpec.Builder builder =
          new KeyGenParameterSpec.Builder(
          MY_KEY,
          KeyProperties.PURPOSE_DECRYPT).
          setKeySize(MY_KEYLEN).
          setEncryptionPaddings(KeyProperties.ENCRYPTION_PADDING_RSA_OAEP).
          setDigests(KeyProperties.DIGEST_SHA256);

          keyPairGenerator.initialize(builder.build());
          keyPairGenerator.generateKeyPair();
          catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException


          I created this key to use with RSA/ECB/OAEPWithSHA-256AndMGF1Padding algorithm.

          • Oh, so i don't need to specify those fields at all. One more thing, how do I know which Digest to use? Like SHA256 or SHA512? If i use OAEPWithSHA1 does that mean that i should use SHA1?
