Generate Pem Key From Modulus Python

  

Python-jose requires the use of public keys, as opposed to X.509 certificates. If you have an X.509 certificate that you would like to convert to a public key that python-jose.

This project has been superseded by a new tool I've written called lokey: https://github.com/jpf/lokey

lokey does everything that this code does, and more.

Grab 8 book for Just$9. I have the modulus of an RSA public key. I want to use this public key with the Python library 'M2Crypto', but it requires a public key in PEM format. Thus, I have to convert the RSA modulus to a PEM file. The modulus can be found here. You may generate key pairs and obtain certificates by using a commercial certification authority service. Mv privkey.pem recipientkey.pem. In the examples to follow, S/MIME Sender,. The Python programmer accesses M2Crypto's S/MIME functionality through class SMIME in the module M2Crypto.SMIME. Abstract the common Modulus from the public key. Abstract the Public Exponent Values from the Public Key. Abstract the Private Exponent Values from the private key. Using RSA implemented in Python to encrypt/decrypt with the key pair. Generate an RSA Private and Public Key. Nov 15, 2018 This sample chapter extracted from the book, Python Cryptograhy. RSA stands for Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman, who first publicly described the algorithm in 1978. A user of RSA creates and publishes the product of two large prime numbers, along with an auxiliary value, as their public key. Dec 11, 2016  Create Certificate Sign Request Self Sign CSR. Now The CA get our CSR it will sign our CSR with his private key. But in this example we are CA and we need to create a self-signed key firstly. We create a CA private key named key.pem and certificate named cert.pem which will be used to authenticate the users signed certificate.

For example, to convert a JWKs result to PEM with lokey, you'd do one of the following:

Note that With lokey, you could also convert to other RSA key formats:

I'm keeping this project around because of how thoroughly it is documented in the hope that it'll be useful for somebody wanting to learn about converting between JWK and PEM formats.

However, I will not be doing any further development on this project and encourage you to use lokey instead.

This is a Python script that fetches JWKS results, and foreach jwk, uses the modulus and exponent to generate a PEM encodedpublic key, suitable for use in tools like jwt.io

Here is an example of using this tool to get the PEM encoded publickeys for the 'example.okta.com' Okta org:

This Python script depends on the cryptography and requests Python2.7 packages

The easiest way to install these dependencies is to use the Nixpackage manager, which will automatically install these dependenciesfor you if you run the commands below.

Note: While Nix is the easiest way to install the dependencies forthis script, Nix will download several hundred MiB of packages thesedependencies. If you don't want to use the Nix package manager, youcan install the dependencies manually using your preferred packagemanager and then change the interpreter on the first line ofincluded script from '/usr/bin/env nix-shell' to '/usr/env/python'

Here is how to install this script on your system using the Nixpackage manager on GNU/Linux or Macintosh OS X systems:

  1. Install the Nix package manager:

  2. Download the get_id_token.sh shell script to your system

  3. Change to the directory containing the get_id_token.sh shellscript

  4. Run the script:

The most important part of this code is the conversion of RSA publickey modulus and exponent integers into a PEM encoded public key.

Thanks to the excellent Python cryptography library, the process ofconverting an RSA public key modulus and exponent is three stepprocess:

  1. Convert the JWK modulus and exponent, which are Base64urlencoded, into integers:

    Note: This conversion is actually pretty frustrating, thebase64_to_long function abstracts this all away.

  2. Use the RSAPublicNumbers class to store the modulus and exponent

  3. Serialize the RSAPublicNumbers object to PEM

We cover the rest of the script below.

First, we import the libraries that we'll need:

  • argparse: For handling the --org= command line argument and givinghelp when it isn't present.
  • base64, six, struct: Used to properly decode the Base64url encoded modulusand exponent.
  • cryptography: For conversion of the modulus and exponent to PEM
  • requests: To fetch the JWKS URI

Here is how we import the dependencies listed above:

Next, we set up ArgumentParser to handle the --org command lineargument. The required=true option will cause ArgumentParser to givehelp text if the --org argument isn't present.

Next up is the the code that handles the ugly job of decoding and properly paddingthe base64url encoded strings that are used in a JWK.

This is easily the most frustrating part of dealing with aJWK. Particularly annoying is the fact that the keys are not Base64encoded, the are Base64url encoded. Which means that we need to takespecial precautions for padding and decoding. Thankfully, I was ableto find some code that already does this, written by the prolificand talented Roland Hedberg. The functions below come from:https://github.com/rohe/pyjwkest/blob/master/src/jwkest/__init__.py

Generate Private Key From Pem

Here we fetch and decode the JSON from an Okta jwks_uri endpoint:

Finally, we process each key, and print out the PEM encoded key foreach JWK Key ID (kid) that we find:

This script depends on the command line tools listed below. Theserequirements should be automatically included via the nix-shelldirectives in the script, but are listed below for the sake ofcompleteness.

Pycrypto is unmaintained and has known vulnerabilities. Use pycryptodome, it is a drop-in replacement.

e should be random methinks =P

@miigotu 'youthinks' wrong. e should be chosen so that e and λ(n) are coprime. It is not chosen at random, and since it is usually small for computation reasons, and included in the public key, it can always be known by an attacker anyway.

from Crypto.PublicKey import RSA
code = 'nooneknows'

key = RSA.generate(2048)
privatekey = key.exportKey(passphrase=code, pkcs=8)
publickey = key.publickey().exportKey()

Generate Pem File

Nice But How Can I Write The Private Key I Tried This:
f = open('PublicKey.pem','w')
f.write(publick_key)
f.close()

BUT IT DOESN'T WORK WITH THE PRIVATE KEY, JUST RETURNS 0B

commented Jan 30, 2018

@WarAtLord try publick_key.exportKey('PEM')
