# RSA Class

Implements RSA public-key cryptography to encrypt/decrypt and sign/verify messages.

## Syntax

```text
RSA
```

## Remarks

The RSA class implements RSA public-key cryptography to encrypt/decrypt messages and sign/verify hash signatures.

To begin you must either specify an existing key or create a new key. Existing private keys may be specified by setting [Key](#key-property-rsa-class). To create a new key call [CreateKey](#createkey-method-rsa-class). Alternatively an existing certificate may be specified by setting [Certificate](#certificate-property-rsa-class)

**Signing**

To sign data first set [Key](#key-property-rsa-class) or [Certificate](#certificate-property-rsa-class). Specify the input data using [InputFile](#inputfile-property-rsa-class) or [InputMessage](#inputmessage-property-rsa-class). Next call [Sign](#sign-method-rsa-class). The class will populate [HashValue](#hashvalue-property-rsa-class) and [HashSignature](#hashsignature-property-rsa-class). After calling [Sign](#sign-method-rsa-class) the public key must be sent to the recipient along with [HashSignature](#hashsignature-property-rsa-class).

**Encrypting**

To encrypt data set [RecipientKey](#recipientkey-property-rsa-class) or [RecipientCert](#recipientcert-property-rsa-class). Specify the input data using [InputFile](#inputfile-property-rsa-class) or [InputMessage](#inputmessage-property-rsa-class). Next call [Encrypt](#encrypt-method-rsa-class). The class will populate [OutputMessage](#outputmessage-property-rsa-class), or write to the file specified by [OutputFile](#outputfile-property-rsa-class).

**Signature Verification**

To verify a signature specify the input data using [InputFile](#inputfile-property-rsa-class) or [InputMessage](#inputmessage-property-rsa-class). Set [SignerKey](#signerkey-property-rsa-class) or [SignerCert](#signercert-property-rsa-class). Next set [HashSignature](#hashsignature-property-rsa-class) and call [VerifySignature](#verifysignature-method-rsa-class). The [VerifySignature](#verifysignature-method-rsa-class) method will return True if the signature was successfully verified.

**Decrypting**

To decrypt data first set [Key](#key-property-rsa-class) or [Certificate](#certificate-property-rsa-class). Specify the input data using [InputFile](#inputfile-property-rsa-class) or [InputMessage](#inputmessage-property-rsa-class). Next call [Decrypt](#decrypt-method-rsa-class). The class will populate [OutputMessage](#outputmessage-property-rsa-class), or write to the file specified by [OutputFile](#outputfile-property-rsa-class).

**Input and Output Properties**

The class will determine the source and destination of the input and output based on which properties are set.

The order in which the input properties are checked is as follows:

- [SetInputStream](#setinputstream-method-rsa-class)
- [InputFile](#inputfile-property-rsa-class)
- [InputMessage](#inputmessage-property-rsa-class)

When a valid source is found, the search stops. The order in which the output properties are checked is as follows:

- [SetOutputStream](#setoutputstream-method-rsa-class)
- [OutputFile](#outputfile-property-rsa-class)
- [OutputMessage](#outputmessage-property-rsa-class): The output data is written to this property if no other destination is specified.

When using streams, you may need to additionally set [CloseInputStreamAfterProcessing](#CloseInputStreamAfterProcessing) or [CloseOutputStreamAfterProcessing](#CloseOutputStreamAfterProcessing).

**RSA Keys**

A RSA key is made up of a number of individual parameters.

The public key consists of the following parameters:

- [Modulus](#RSAKey_f_Modulus)
- [Exponent](#RSAKey_f_Exponent)

The class also includes the [PublicKey](#RSAKey_f_PublicKey) field which holds the PEM formatted public key for ease of use. This is helpful if you are in control of both sides of the encryption/signing and decryption/signature verification process. When sending the public key to a recipient note that not all implementations will support using the PEM formatted value in [PublicKey](#RSAKey_f_PublicKey) in which case the individual parameters must be sent.

The private key may be represented in one of two ways. Both are mathematically equivalent. Private key format 1:

- [Modulus](#RSAKey_f_Modulus)
- [P](#RSAKey_f_P)
- [Q](#RSAKey_f_Q)
- [DP](#RSAKey_f_DP)
- [DQ](#RSAKey_f_DQ)

 Private key format 2 is simpler but has decreased performance when decrypting and signing. This format is:

- [Modulus](#RSAKey_f_Modulus)
- [D](#RSAKey_f_D)

 The class also include the [PrivateKey](#RSAKey_f_PrivateKey) field which holds the PEM formatted private key for ease of use. This is helpful for storing the private key more easily.

# Certificate Property ([RSA](#rsa-class) Class)

The certificate used for signing and decryption.

## Syntax

```text
IPWorksEncryptCertificate* GetCertificate();
int SetCertificate(IPWorksEncryptCertificate* val);
```

## Remarks

This property specifies a certificate with private key.

This may be set instead of [Key](#key-property-rsa-class). This allows a [Certificate](#certificate-type) object to be used instead of a [RSAKey](#rsakey-type) object. This certificate is used when calling [Sign](#sign-method-rsa-class) and [Decrypt](#decrypt-method-rsa-class). The specified certificate must have a private key.

If both this property and [Key](#key-property-rsa-class) are specified, [Key](#key-property-rsa-class) will be used and this property will be ignored.

## Data Type

# UseHex Property ([RSA](#rsa-class) Class)

Whether input or output is hex encoded.

## Syntax

```text
ANSI (Cross Platform)
int GetUseHex();int SetUseHex(int bUseHex);

Unicode (Windows)
BOOL GetUseHex();INT SetUseHex(BOOL bUseHex);
```

## Default Value

FALSE

## Remarks

This property specifies whether the encrypted data, [HashValue](#hashvalue-property-rsa-class), and [HashSignature](#hashsignature-property-rsa-class) are hex encoded.

If set to True, when [Encrypt](#encrypt-method-rsa-class) is called the class will perform the encryption as normal and then hex encode the output. [OutputMessage](#outputmessage-property-rsa-class) or [OutputFile](#outputfile-property-rsa-class) will hold hex encoded data.

If set to True, when [Decrypt](#decrypt-method-rsa-class) is called the class will expect [InputMessage](#inputmessage-property-rsa-class) or [InputFile](#inputfile-property-rsa-class) to hold hex encoded data. The class will then hex decode the data and perform decryption as normal.

If set to True, when [Sign](#sign-method-rsa-class) is called the class will compute the hash for the specified file and populate [HashValue](#hashvalue-property-rsa-class) with the hex encoded hash value. It will then create the hash signature and populate [HashSignature](#hashsignature-property-rsa-class) with the hex encoded hash signature value. If [HashValue](#hashvalue-property-rsa-class) is specified directly, it must be a hex encoded value.

If set to True, when [VerifySignature](#verifysignature-method-rsa-class) is called the class will compute the hash value for the specified file and populate [HashValue](#hashvalue-property-rsa-class) with the hex encoded hash value. It will then hex decode [HashSignature](#hashsignature-property-rsa-class) and verify the signature. [HashSignature](#hashsignature-property-rsa-class) must hold a hex encoded value. If [HashValue](#hashvalue-property-rsa-class) is specified directly, it must be a hex encoded value.

Config is a generic method available in every class. It is used to set and retrieve [configuration settings](#config-settings-rsa-class) for the class.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these *internal properties* is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named *PROPERTY*, you must call *Config("PROPERTY=VALUE")*, where *VALUE* is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a [configuration setting](#config-settings-rsa-class), you must call *Config("PROPERTY")*. The value will be returned as a string.

## Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a String value; after it returns, call the *GetLastErrorCode()* method to obtain its result code; *0* indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the *GetLastError()* method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

# CreateKey Method ([RSA](#rsa-class) Class)

Creates a new key.

## Syntax

```text
ANSI (Cross Platform)
int CreateKey();

Unicode (Windows)
INT CreateKey();
```

## Remarks

This method creates a new public and private key.

When calling CreateKey the [Key](#key-property-rsa-class) property is populated with a new private and public key.

**RSA Keys**

A RSA key is made up of a number of individual parameters.

The public key consists of the following parameters:

- [Modulus](#RSAKey_f_Modulus)
- [Exponent](#RSAKey_f_Exponent)

The class also includes the [PublicKey](#RSAKey_f_PublicKey) field which holds the PEM formatted public key for ease of use. This is helpful if you are in control of both sides of the encryption/signing and decryption/signature verification process. When sending the public key to a recipient note that not all implementations will support using the PEM formatted value in [PublicKey](#RSAKey_f_PublicKey) in which case the individual parameters must be sent.

The private key may be represented in one of two ways. Both are mathematically equivalent. Private key format 1:

- [Modulus](#RSAKey_f_Modulus)
- [P](#RSAKey_f_P)
- [Q](#RSAKey_f_Q)
- [DP](#RSAKey_f_DP)
- [DQ](#RSAKey_f_DQ)

 Private key format 2 is simpler but has decreased performance when decrypting and signing. This format is:

- [Modulus](#RSAKey_f_Modulus)
- [D](#RSAKey_f_D)

 The class also include the [PrivateKey](#RSAKey_f_PrivateKey) field which holds the PEM formatted private key for ease of use. This is helpful for storing the private key more easily.

## Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; *0* indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the *GetLastError()* method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the *GetLastErrorCode()* method after it returns.)

# Decrypt Method ([RSA](#rsa-class) Class)

Decrypts the input data using the specified private key.

## Syntax

```text
ANSI (Cross Platform)
int Decrypt();

Unicode (Windows)
INT Decrypt();
```

## Remarks

This method decrypts the input data using the private key specified in [Key](#key-property-rsa-class). Alternatively, a certificate may be specified by setting [Certificate](#certificate-property-rsa-class).

**Input and Output Properties**

The class will determine the source and destination of the input and output based on which properties are set.

The order in which the input properties are checked is as follows:

- [SetInputStream](#setinputstream-method-rsa-class)
- [InputFile](#inputfile-property-rsa-class)
- [InputMessage](#inputmessage-property-rsa-class)

When a valid source is found, the search stops. The order in which the output properties are checked is as follows:

- [SetOutputStream](#setoutputstream-method-rsa-class)
- [OutputFile](#outputfile-property-rsa-class)
- [OutputMessage](#outputmessage-property-rsa-class): The output data is written to this property if no other destination is specified.

When using streams, you may need to additionally set [CloseInputStreamAfterProcessing](#CloseInputStreamAfterProcessing) or [CloseOutputStreamAfterProcessing](#CloseOutputStreamAfterProcessing).

**Key Size and the Maximum Length of Data**

RSA has an upper limit to the amount of data that can be encrypted or decrypted, also known as message length. This can typically be calculated as the size of the key minus the size of the RSA header and padding.

When not using OAEP, the following formula and table can be referenced. (RSA Key Bytes) - (Header Bytes) = Length of data, where Header Bytes is always 11.

| RSA Key Length (bits) | Length (bits) | Length (bytes) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1024 | 936 | 117 |
| 2048 | 1960 | 245 |
| 3072 | 2984 | 373 |
| 4096 | 4008 | 501 |

When using OAEP, the following formula and table can be referenced. (RSA Key Bytes) - (2 * Hash Length Bytes) - 2 = Length of data. The table below assumes SHA-256 for the hash, so Hash Length Bytes is 32.

| RSA Key Length (bits) | Length (bits) | Length (bytes) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1024 | 496 | 62 |
| 2048 | 1520 | 190 |

# Sign Method ([RSA](#rsa-class) Class)

Creates a hash signature.

## Syntax

```text
ANSI (Cross Platform)
int Sign();

Unicode (Windows)
INT Sign();
```

## Remarks

This method will create a hash signature.

Before calling this method specify the input file by setting [InputFile](#inputfile-property-rsa-class) or [InputMessage](#inputmessage-property-rsa-class).

A key is required to create the hash signature. You may create a new key by calling [CreateKey](#createkey-method-rsa-class), or specify an existing key pair in [Key](#key-property-rsa-class). Alternatively, a certificate may be specified by setting [Certificate](#certificate-property-rsa-class). When this method is called the class will compute the hash for the specified file and populate [HashValue](#hashvalue-property-rsa-class). It will then create the hash signature using the specified [Key](#key-property-rsa-class) and populate [HashSignature](#hashsignature-property-rsa-class).

To create the hash signature without first computing the hash simply specify [HashValue](#hashvalue-property-rsa-class) before calling this method.

The [Progress](#progress-event-rsa-class) event will fire with updates for the hash computation progress only. The hash signature creation process is quick and does not require progress updates.

## Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; *0* indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the *GetLastError()* method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

bool VerifySignature();
```

## Remarks

This method will verify a hash signature.

Before calling this method specify the input file by setting [InputFile](#inputfile-property-rsa-class) or [InputMessage](#inputmessage-property-rsa-class).

A public key and the hash signature are required to perform the signature verification. Specify the public key in [SignerKey](#signerkey-property-rsa-class). Alternatively, a certificate may be specified by setting [SignerCert](#signercert-property-rsa-class). Specify the hash signature in [HashSignature](#hashsignature-property-rsa-class).

When this method is called the class will compute the hash for the specified file and populate [HashValue](#hashvalue-property-rsa-class). It will verify the signature using the specified [SignerKey](#signerkey-property-rsa-class) and [HashSignature](#hashsignature-property-rsa-class).

To verify the hash signature without first computing the hash simply specify [HashValue](#hashvalue-property-rsa-class) before calling this method.

The [Progress](#progress-event-rsa-class) event will fire with updates for the hash computation progress only. The hash signature verification process is quick and does not require progress updates.

## Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a Boolean value; after it returns, call the *GetLastErrorCode()* method to obtain its result code; *0* indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the *GetLastError()* method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

[Store](#Certificate_f_Store) is used in conjunction with the [Subject](#Certificate_f_Subject) field to specify client certificates. If [Store](#Certificate_f_Store) has a value, and [Subject](#Certificate_f_Subject) or [Encoded](#Certificate_f_Encoded) is set, a search for a certificate is initiated. Please see the [Subject](#Certificate_f_Subject) field for details.

 Designations of certificate stores are platform dependent.

The following designations are the most common User and Machine certificate stores in Windows:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| MY | A certificate store holding personal certificates with their associated private keys. |
| CA | Certifying authority certificates. |
| ROOT | Root certificates. |

When the certificate store type is *cstPFXFile*, this property must be set to the name of the file. When the type is *cstPFXBlob*, the property must be set to the binary contents of a PFX file (i.e., PKCS#12 certificate store).

 **StorePassword** *char**
*Default Value: ""*

If the type of certificate store requires a password, this field is used to specify the password needed to open the certificate store.

 **StoreType** *int*
*Default Value: 0*

The type of certificate store for this certificate.

 The class supports both public and private keys in a variety of formats. When the *cstAuto* value is used, the class will automatically determine the type. This field can take one of the following values:

```csharp
sftp.SSHCert = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11,
                               @"C:\Program Files\OpenSC Project\OpenSC\pkcs11\opensc-pkcs11.dll",

                               "CN=cert_subject");
sftp.SSHUser = "test";
sftp.SSHLogon("myhost", 22);
```

```csharp
certmgr.CertStoreType = CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11;
certmgr.OnCertList += (s, e) => {
  secKeyBlob = e.CertEncoded;
};
certmgr.CertStore = @"C:\Program Files\OpenSC Project\OpenSC\pkcs11\opensc-pkcs11.dll";
certmgr.CertStorePassword = "123456"; // PIN
certmgr.ListStoreCertificates();

sftp.SSHCert = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11, secKeyBlob, "123456", "*");
sftp.SSHUser = "test";
sftp.SSHLogon("myhost", 22);

SSH Authentication with Security Key (without CertMgr): Alternatively, collect the necessary data using the [CertMgr](CertMgr.md#CertMgr) class by calling the [ListStoreCertificates](CertMgr.md#CertMgr_m_ListStoreCertificates) method after setting the corresponding properties accordingly. The certificate information returned in the [CertList](CertMgr.md#CertMgr_e_CertList) event's CertEncoded parameter may be saved for later use. When using a certificate obtained with this approach, pass the previously saved security key information as the [Store](#Certificate_f_Store) and set [StorePassword](#Certificate_f_StorePassword) to the PIN. Code Example. SSH Authentication with Security Key (with CertMgr): |
| 99 (cstAuto) | The store type is automatically detected from the input data. This setting may be used with both public and private keys and can detect any of the supported formats automatically. |

 **SubjectAltNames** *char* (read-only)*
*Default Value: ""*

Comma-separated lists of alternative subject names for the certificate.

 **ThumbprintMD5** *char* (read-only)*
*Default Value: ""*

The MD5 hash of the certificate. It is primarily used for X.509 certificates. If the hash does not already exist, it is automatically computed.

 **ThumbprintSHA1** *char* (read-only)*
*Default Value: ""*

The SHA-1 hash of the certificate. It is primarily used for X.509 certificates. If the hash does not already exist, it is automatically computed.

 **ThumbprintSHA256** *char* (read-only)*
*Default Value: ""*

The SHA-256 hash of the certificate. It is primarily used for X.509 certificates. If the hash does not already exist, it is automatically computed.

 **Usage** *char* (read-only)*
*Default Value: ""*

The text description of [UsageFlags](#Certificate_f_UsageFlags).

This value will be one or more of the following strings and will be separated by commas:

- Digital Signature
- Non-Repudiation
- Key Encipherment
- Data Encipherment
- Key Agreement
- Certificate Signing
- CRL Signing
- Encipher Only

If the provider is OpenSSL, the value is a comma-separated list of X.509 certificate extension names.

 **UsageFlags** *int (read-only)*
*Default Value: 0*

The flags that show intended use for the certificate. The value of [UsageFlags](#Certificate_f_UsageFlags) is a combination of the following flags:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| 0x80 | Digital Signature |
| 0x40 | Non-Repudiation |
| 0x20 | Key Encipherment |
| 0x10 | Data Encipherment |
| 0x08 | Key Agreement |
| 0x04 | Certificate Signing |
| 0x02 | CRL Signing |
| 0x01 | Encipher Only |

Please see the [Usage](#Certificate_f_Usage) field for a text representation of [UsageFlags](#Certificate_f_UsageFlags).

This functionality currently is not available when the provider is OpenSSL.

 **Version** *char* (read-only)*
*Default Value: ""*

The certificate's version number. The possible values are the strings "V1", "V2", and "V3".

 **Subject** *char**
*Default Value: ""*

The subject of the certificate used for client authentication.

This property must be set after all other certificate properties are set. When this property is set, a search is performed in the current certificate store to locate a certificate with a matching subject.

If a matching certificate is found, the field is set to the full subject of the matching certificate.

If an exact match is not found, the store is searched for subjects containing the value of the property.

If a match is still not found, the property is set to an empty string, and no certificate is selected.

The special value "*" picks a random certificate in the certificate store.

The certificate subject is a comma-separated list of distinguished name fields and values. For instance, "CN=www.server.com, OU=test, C=US, E=example@email.com". Common fields and their meanings are as follows:

| Field | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| CN | Common Name. This is commonly a hostname like www.server.com. |
| O | Organization |
| OU | Organizational Unit |
| L | Locality |
| S | State |
| C | Country |
| E | Email Address |

If a field value contains a comma, it must be quoted.

 **Encoded** *char**
*Default Value: ""*

The certificate (PEM/Base64 encoded). This field is used to assign a specific certificate. The [Store](#Certificate_f_Store) and [Subject](#Certificate_f_Subject) fields also may be used to specify a certificate.

When [Encoded](#Certificate_f_Encoded) is set, a search is initiated in the current [Store](#Certificate_f_Store) for the private key of the certificate. If the key is found, [Subject](#Certificate_f_Subject) is updated to reflect the full subject of the selected certificate; otherwise, [Subject](#Certificate_f_Subject) is set to an empty string.

## Constructors

```text
Certificate()
```

 Creates a instance whose properties can be set.

```text
Certificate(const char* lpEncoded, int lenEncoded)
```

 Parses * Encoded * as an X.509 public key.

```text
Certificate(int iStoreType, const char* lpStore, int lenStore, const char* lpszStorePassword, const char* lpszSubject)
```

 * StoreType * identifies the type of certificate store to use. See for descriptions of the different certificate stores. * Store * is a byte array containing the certificate data. * StorePassword * is the password used to protect the store.

 After the store has been successfully opened, the component will attempt to find the certificate identified by * Subject * . This can be either a complete or a substring match of the X.509 certificate's subject Distinguished Name (DN). The * Subject * parameter can also take an MD5, SHA-1, or SHA-256 thumbprint of the certificate to load in a "Thumbprint=value" format.

# RSAKey Type

Contains the typical parameters for the RSA algorithm.

## Syntax

 *IPWorksEncryptRSAKey* (declared in *ipworksencrypt.h*)

## Remarks

This type is made up of fields that represent the private and public key parameters used by the RSA algorithm.

**RSA Keys**

A RSA key is made up of a number of individual parameters.

The public key consists of the following parameters:

- [Modulus](#RSAKey_f_Modulus)
- [Exponent](#RSAKey_f_Exponent)

The class also includes the [PublicKey](#RSAKey_f_PublicKey) field which holds the PEM formatted public key for ease of use. This is helpful if you are in control of both sides of the encryption/signing and decryption/signature verification process. When sending the public key to a recipient note that not all implementations will support using the PEM formatted value in [PublicKey](#RSAKey_f_PublicKey) in which case the individual parameters must be sent.

The private key may be represented in one of two ways. Both are mathematically equivalent. Private key format 1:

- [Modulus](#RSAKey_f_Modulus)
- [P](#RSAKey_f_P)
- [Q](#RSAKey_f_Q)
- [DP](#RSAKey_f_DP)
- [DQ](#RSAKey_f_DQ)

 Private key format 2 is simpler but has decreased performance when decrypting and signing. This format is:

- [Modulus](#RSAKey_f_Modulus)
- [D](#RSAKey_f_D)

 The class also include the [PrivateKey](#RSAKey_f_PrivateKey) field which holds the PEM formatted private key for ease of use. This is helpful for storing the private key more easily.

The following fields are available:

- [D](#RSAKey_f_D)

- [DP](#RSAKey_f_DP)

- [DQ](#RSAKey_f_DQ)

- [Exponent](#RSAKey_f_Exponent)

- [InverseQ](#RSAKey_f_InverseQ)

- [Modulus](#RSAKey_f_Modulus)

- [P](#RSAKey_f_P)

- [PrivateKey](#RSAKey_f_PrivateKey)

- [PublicKey](#RSAKey_f_PublicKey)

- [Q](#RSAKey_f_Q)

## Fields

 **D** *char**
*Default Value: ""*

Represents the D parameter for the RSA algorithm.

 **DP** *char**
*Default Value: ""*

Represents the DP parameter for the RSA algorithm.

 **DQ** *char**
*Default Value: ""*

Represents the DQ parameter for the RSA algorithm.

 **Exponent** *char**
*Default Value: ""*

Represents the Exponent parameter for the RSA algorithm.

 **InverseQ** *char**
*Default Value: ""*

Represents the InverseQ parameter for the RSA algorithm. This parameter is optional and is automatically calculated as necessary.

 **Modulus** *char**
*Default Value: ""*

Represents the Modulus parameter for the RSA algorithm.

 **P** *char**
*Default Value: ""*

Represents the P parameter for the RSA algorithm.

 **PrivateKey** *char**
*Default Value: ""*

This field is a PEM formatted private key. The purpose of this field is to allow easier management of the private key parameters by using only a single value.

 **PublicKey** *char**
*Default Value: ""*

This field is a PEM formatted public key. The purpose of this field is to allow easier management of the public key parameters by using only a single value.

 **Q** *char**
*Default Value: ""*

Represents the Q parameter for the RSA algorithm.

## Constructors

```text
RSAKey()
```

 The default constructor creates a new RSAKey instance but does not assign a public or private key.

```text
RSAKey(const char* lpModulus, int lenModulus, const char* lpExponent, int lenExponent)
```

 The public key constructor assigns an existing public key.

```text
RSAKey(const char* lpModulus, int lenModulus, const char* lpD, int lenD, const char* lpP, int lenP, const char* lpQ, int lenQ, const char* lpDP, int lenDP, const char* lpDQ, int lenDQ)
```

 The private key constructor assigns an existing private key. Any valid combination of parameters representing a private key may be supplied. See the description at the top of this page for details on RSA private key formats.

# IPWorksEncryptStream Type

## Syntax

 *IPWorksEncryptStream* (declared in *ipworksencrypt.h*)

## Remarks

 The RSA class includes one or more API members that take a stream object as a parameter. To use such API members, create a concrete class that implements the IPWorksEncryptStream interface and pass the RSA class an instance of that concrete class.

 When implementing the IPWorksEncryptStream interface's properties and methods, they must behave as described below. If the concrete class's implementation does not behave as expected, undefined behavior may occur.

```text
bool CanRead() { return true; }
```

```text
bool CanSeek() { return true; }
```

```text
bool CanWrite() { return true; }
```

```text
int64 GetLength() = 0;
```

```text
void Close() {}
```

```text
int Flush() { return 0; }
```

```text
int Read(void* buffer, int count) = 0;
```

```text
int64 Seek(int64 offset, int seekOrigin) = 0;
```

```text
int Write(const void* buffer, int count) = 0;
```

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| Properties |  |
| CanRead | Whether the stream supports reading. |
| CanSeek | Whether the stream supports seeking. |
| CanWrite | Whether the stream supports writing. |
| Length | Gets the length of the stream, in bytes. |
| Methods |  |
| Close | Closes the stream, releasing all resources currently allocated for it. This method is called automatically when an IPWorksEncryptStream object is deleted. |
| Flush | Forces all data held by the stream's buffers to be written out to storage. Must return 0 if flushing is successful; or -1 if an error occurs or the stream is closed. If the stream does not support writing, this method must do nothing and return 0. |
| Read | Reads a sequence of bytes from the stream and advances the current position within the stream by the number of bytes read. Buffer specifies the buffer to populate with data from the stream. Count specifies the number of bytes that should be read from the stream. Must return the total number of bytes read into Buffer; this may be less than Count if that many bytes are not currently available, or 0 if the end of the stream has been reached. Must return -1 if an error occurs, if reading is not supported, or if the stream is closed. |
| Seek | Sets the current position within the stream based on a particular point of origin. Offset specifies the offset in the stream to seek to, relative to SeekOrigin. Valid values for SeekOrigin are: 0: Seek from beginning. 1: Seek from current position. 2: Seek from end. Must return the new position within the stream; or -1 if an error occurs, if seeking is not supported, or if the stream is closed (however, see note below). If -1 is returned, the current position within the stream must remain unchanged. Note: If the stream is not closed, it must always be possible to call this method with an Offset of 0 and a SeekOrigin of 1 to obtain the current position within the stream, even if seeking is not otherwise supported. |
| Write | Writes a sequence of bytes to the stream and advances the current position within the stream by the number of bytes written. Buffer specifies the buffer with data to write to the stream. Count specifies the number of bytes that should be written to the stream. Must return the total number of bytes written to the stream; this may be less than Count if that many bytes could not be written. Must return -1 if an error occurs, if writing is not supported, or if the stream is closed. |

# Config Settings ([RSA](#rsa-class) Class)

 The class accepts one or more of the following *configuration settings*. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these *internal properties* is provided through the [Config](#config-method-rsa-class) method.

### RSA Config Settings

**KeyFormat**: How the public and private key are formatted.This setting controls the format of [PublicKey](#RSAKey_f_PublicKey) and [PrivateKey](#RSAKey_f_PrivateKey). By default these fields hold PEM formatted public and private key data. When set to 1 (XML) the keys are stored in a XML format. This only affects the values returned by the class; the actual keys remain the same regardless of this setting. Possible values are:

- 0 (PEM - PKCS#1)
- 1 (XML)
- 2 (PEM - PKCS#8 - default)

 The default value is 2 (PEM - PKCS#8).

**KeySize**: The size, in bits, of the secret key.This specifies the size, in bits, of the secret key. The minimum key size for RSA is 384. The maximum key size is 4096. Note that large values such as 4096 will impact performance. The default value is 1024.

**OAEPMGF1HashAlgorithm**: The MGF1 hash algorithm used with OAEP.This configuration setting specifies the MGF1 hash algorithm used when [UseOAEP](#useoaep-property-rsa-class) is set to True. The default value is *SHA256*. Possible values are as follows:

- "SHA1"
- "SHA224"
- "SHA256" (default)
- "SHA384"
- "SHA512"
- "RIPEMD160"
- "MD2"
- "MD5"
- "MD5SHA1"

Note: The RSA hash algorithm used for OAEP is controlled via the [HashAlgorithm](#hashalgorithm-property-rsa-class) property.

**OAEPParams**: The hex encoded OAEP parameters.This configuration setting optionally specifies Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding (OAEP) parameters to be used when [UseOAEP](#useoaep-property-rsa-class) is set to True. The value is an optional application-defined label and should be hex encoded. In most cases this does not need to be set; both sides must use the same value for encryption and decryption to succeed.

**UsePrimitive**: Enables primitive RSA encryption with no padding scheme or output modification.Instructs the component to use primitive RSA encryption with no padding scheme and without stripping leading zeros from the output of [Encrypt](#encrypt-method-rsa-class). The output size will match the modulus length, as defined by the original RSA specification.

 Overrides the [UseOAEP](#useoaep-property-rsa-class) property if specified.

 **Warning:** This configuration is not considered cryptographically secure on its own. Padding schemes play a critical role in the security of modern RSA implementations. Use only when necessary for compatibility, and note that the user assumes all responsibility when enabling this option.

### Base Config Settings

**BuildInfo**: Information about the product's build.When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the product's build.

**CodePage**: The system code page used for Unicode to Multibyte translations.The default code page is Unicode UTF-8 (65001).

**LicenseInfo**: Information about the current license.When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the license this instance of a class is using. It will return the following information:

- Product: The product the license is for.
- Product Key: The key the license was generated from.
- License Source: Where the license was found (e.g., RuntimeLicense, License File).
- License Type: The type of license installed (e.g., Royalty Free, Single Server).
- Last Valid Build: The last valid build number for which the license will work.

**MaskSensitiveData**: Whether sensitive data is masked in log messages.In certain circumstances it may be beneficial to mask sensitive data, like passwords, in log messages. Set this to *true* to mask sensitive data. The default is *true*.

**ProcessIdleEvents**: Whether the class uses its internal event loop to process events when the main thread is idle.If set to False, the class will not fire internal idle events. Set this to False to use the class in a background thread on Mac OS. By default, this setting is True.

**SelectWaitMillis**: The length of time in milliseconds the class will wait when DoEvents is called if there are no events to process.If there are no events to process when DoEvents is called, the class will wait for the amount of time specified here before returning. The default value is 20.

**UseFIPSCompliantAPI**: Tells the class whether or not to use FIPS certified APIs.When set to *true*, the class will utilize the underlying operating system's certified APIs. Java editions, regardless of OS, utilize Bouncy Castle Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS), while all other Windows editions make use of Microsoft security libraries.

On Linux, the C++ edition requires installation of the FIPS-enabled OpenSSL library. The OpenSSL FIPS provider version must be at least 3.0.0. For additional information and instructions regarding the installation and activation of the FIPS-enabled OpenSSL library, please refer to the following link: [https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/master/README-FIPS.md](https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/master/README-FIPS.md)

To ensure the class utilizes the FIPS-enabled OpenSSL library, the obfuscated source code should first be compiled with OpenSSL enabled, as described in the Supported Platforms section. Additionally, the FIPS module should be enabled and active. If the obfuscated source code is not compiled as mentioned, or the FIPS module is inactive, the class will throw an appropriate error assuming FIPS mode is enabled.

FIPS mode can be enabled by setting the *UseFIPSCompliantAPI* configuration setting to *true*. This is a static setting that applies to all instances of all classes of the toolkit within the process. It is recommended to enable or disable this setting once before the component has been used to establish a connection. Enabling FIPS while an instance of the component is active and connected may result in unexpected behavior.

For more details, please see the [FIPS 140-2 Compliance](https://www.nsoftware.com/kb/articles/fips.rst) article.

NOTE: This setting is applicable only on Windows.

NOTE: Enabling FIPS compliance requires a special license; please contact [sales@nsoftware.com](mailto:sales@nsoftware.com) for details.

**UseInternalSecurityAPI**: Whether or not to use the system security libraries or an internal implementation. When set to *false*, the class will use the system security libraries by default to perform cryptographic functions where applicable.

Setting this configuration setting to *true* tells the class to use the internal implementation instead of using the system security libraries.

 On Windows, this setting is set to *false* by default. On Linux/macOS, this setting is set to *true* by default.

 To use the system security libraries for Linux, OpenSSL support must be enabled. For more information on how to enable OpenSSL, please refer to the [OpenSSL Notes](platforms.md) section.

# Trappable Errors ([RSA](#rsa-class) Class)

## Error Handling (C++)

Call the *GetLastErrorCode()* method to obtain the last called method's result code; *0* indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. Known error codes are listed below. If an error occurs, the *GetLastError()* method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.
