Anything to do with Cryptography or crypto programming
Parts of the Windows Crypto API are quite well documented (particularly the original CAPI stuff). Other parts….. I’ve been trying to get PKCS8 files working between OpenSSL and Windows. The Import/Export on Windows is so badly documented I eventually resorted to ASN.1 decodes and header file trawls to find what I needed. Anyway – if… Continue Reading PKCS8 files and Windows Crypto API
Patrick Hogan has done a great project on GitHub – IOS Certificate Key and Trust Sample Project – that pulls together all the concepts for RSA key importing/exporting and handling. It’s used some of the code from my import and export posts + code from a few other places together with his own work. Great… Continue Reading Nice Sample Project for iPhone RSA Key and Trust Handling
So following from my post on exporting a public key from an iPhone into java, here is some sample code for going the other way. It follows the same logic as exporting the key but in reverse. (It starts with decoding the Base64 piece as the app I am working on always passes data in… Continue Reading Import Standard RSA key to iPhone key store
