How to verify if the private key matches with the certificate..?
- by surendhar_s
I have the private key stored as .key file..
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

And i extracted public key from ssl certificate file..
Below is the code i tried to verify if private key matches with ssl certificate or not..
I used the modulus[i.e. private key get modulus==public key get modulus] to check if they are matching..
And this seems to hold only for RSAKEYS..
But i want to check for other keys as well..
Is there any other alternative to do the same..??
private static boolean verifySignature(File serverCertificateFile, File serverCertificateKey) {
try {
byte[] certificateBytes = FileUtils.readFileToByteArray(serverCertificateFile);
//byte[] keyBytes = FileUtils.readFileToByteArray(serverCertificateKey);
RandomAccessFile raf = new RandomAccessFile(serverCertificateKey, "r");
byte[] buf = new byte[(int) raf.length()];
raf.readFully(buf);
raf.close();
PKCS8EncodedKeySpec kspec = new PKCS8EncodedKeySpec(buf);
KeyFactory kf;
try {
kf = KeyFactory.getInstance("RSA");
RSAPrivateKey privKey = (RSAPrivateKey) kf.generatePrivate(kspec);
CertificateFactory certFactory = CertificateFactory.getInstance("X.509");
InputStream in = new ByteArrayInputStream(certificateBytes);
//Generate Certificate in X509 Format
X509Certificate cert = (X509Certificate) certFactory.generateCertificate(in);
RSAPublicKey publicKey = (RSAPublicKey) cert.getPublicKey();
in.close();
return privKey.getModulus() == publicKey.getModulus();
} catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException ex) {
logger.log(Level.SEVERE, "Such algorithm is not found", ex);
} catch (CertificateException ex) {
logger.log(Level.SEVERE, "certificate exception", ex);
} catch (InvalidKeySpecException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(CertificateConversion.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
} catch (IOException ex) {
logger.log(Level.SEVERE, "Signature verification failed.. This could be because the file is in use", ex);
}
return false;
}
And the code isn't working either.. throws invalidkeyspec exception
