Generate Private Key Openssl C++

Posted : admin On 13.04.2020

Use OpenSSL 'Pass Phrase arguments'. If you want to supply a password for the output-file, you will need the (awkwardly named) -passout parameter. This is a multi-dimensional parameter and allow you to read the actual password from a number of sources. Such as file or from an environment variable. Openssl genrsa -des3 -out private.pem 2048 That generates a 2048-bit RSA key pair, encrypts them with a password you provide and writes them to a file. You need to next extract the public key file. You will use this, for instance, on your web server to encrypt content so that it can only be read with the private key. This generates the public key from the provided private key (which we just generated) and writes it to a file in the pem format. This takes the private key in the pem format, converts it to the DER format, and extracts from that format the 32 bytes for the private key and writes those as a hex string to a file.

Generate SSL certificates using openssl api :

  • generate X509 public/private key pair, output can be PEM, PKCS12 certs
  • generate self-signed cert (which can be used as CA cert)
  • generate X509 public/private key pair signed with a specific issuer cert or a CA
  • generate a diffie hellman key
  • output can be a specific file / certificates can be accessed programmatically as well

Generality

Library release is under release directory.

Generate self-signed certificates

Declare new instance of SslGen :

Generate self-signed certificates :

  • entries : a set of certificate entries with following structure :
  • date_start and date_end specifying certificate validation timings
  • serial : specifying certificate serial number to be used
  • passin : optional password for private key
  • rsa_key_size : size of key (2048 or more is prefered)
  • certificate_raw : output pointer structure as following :

Generate signed certificates

  • entries : a set of certificate entries with following structure :
  • date_start and date_end specifying certificate validation timings
  • serial : specifying certificate serial number to be used
  • passin : optional password for private key
  • rsa_key_size : size of key (2048 or more is prefered)
  • ca_cert : structure defining public/private key of CA cert or cert issuer
  • certificate_raw : output pointer structure as following :

Specify output format and file output

By default public and private key are given in PEM format.By default, no output file path is specified.

You can specify cert output files for PEM cert as following :

  • enable_pem : enable PEM format (default)
  • public_key_file : output file for public key in PEM format
  • private_key_file : output file for private key in PEM format

You can specify cert output files for PKCS12 cert as following :

  • enable_p12 : enable PKCS12 format
  • key_file : output file for public/private key in PKCS12 format

Generate DH key

Generate Diffie-Hellman key with :

  • key_size : key size to be used (2048 is preferred)
  • file_path : required output file path for the key

Checking and Verifying certificates

Here are some useful openssl command to test your output :

Check start date and end date for a PEM certificate

  • openssl x509 -startdate -noout -in cert.crt
  • openssl x509 -enddate -noout -in cert.crt

Check a public PEM key

  • openssl x509 -in cert.crt -text -noout

Check a private PEM key

  • openssl rsa -in cert.key -check

Check a PKCS12 file

  • openssl pkcs12 -info -in cert.p12

Check that public/key pair is uncorrupted

Those commands should return same md5 :

Openssl Generate Rsa Public Private Key Pair C++

  • openssl x509 -noout -modulus -in cert.crt openssl md5
  • openssl rsa -noout -modulus -in cert.key openssl md5

Verify certificate

  • openssl verify cert.pem

Verify certificate chain

  • openssl verify -CAfile ca.crt server.crt

Install certificates on Linux

Memory checking

Project is memcheck free

valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=full ./main

Project is built with openssl library built with -DPURIFY option to avoid valgrind to complain about uninitialized data ('Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)' warnings).

TODO

Generate Certificate Private Key Openssl

  • add static library
  • add certificate extensions
  • add CA certificate to PKCS12 for signed certificate
  • add pass for PKCS12 (distinguished from private key)
