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

Syntax

class ipworksencrypt.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 the Key* properties. To create a new key call create_key. Alternatively an existing certificate may be specified by setting the Certificate* properties

Signing

To sign data first set key or certificate. Specify the input data using input_file or input_message. Next call sign. The class will populate hash_value and hash_signature. After calling sign the public key must be sent to the recipient along with hash_signature.

Encrypting

To encrypt data set recipient_key or recipient_cert. Specify the input data using input_file or input_message. Next call encrypt. The class will populate output_message, or write to the file specified by output_file.

Signature Verification

To verify a signature specify the input data using input_file or input_message. Set signer_key or signer_cert. Next set hash_signature and call verify_signature. The verify_signature method will return True if the signature was successfully verified.

Decrypting

To decrypt data first set key or certificate. Specify the input data using input_file or input_message. Next call decrypt. The class will populate output_message, or write to the file specified by output_file.

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:

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

RSA Keys

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

The public key consists of the following parameters:

The class also includes the key_public_key property 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 key_public_key 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:

Private key format 2 is simpler but has decreased performance when decrypting and signing. This format is: The class also include the key_private_key property which holds the PEM formatted private key for ease of use. This is helpful for storing the private key more easily.

The list_store_certificates method may be called after setting cert_store_type to cstPKCS11, cert_store_password to the PIN, and cert_store to the full path of the PKCS#11 DLL. The certificate information returned in the on_cert_list event's CertEncoded parameter may be saved for later use.

When using a certificate, pass the previously saved security key information as the recipient_cert_store and set recipient_cert_store_password to the PIN.

Code Example. SSH Authentication with Security Key: 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);

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.

config Method

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

def config(configuration_string: str) -> str: ...

Remarks

config is a generic method available in every class. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings 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, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

create_key Method

Creates a new key.

Syntax

def create_key() -> None: ...

Remarks

This method creates a new public and private key.

When calling create_key the Key* properties are 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:

The class also includes the key_public_key property 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 key_public_key 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:

Private key format 2 is simpler but has decreased performance when decrypting and signing. This format is: The class also include the key_private_key property which holds the PEM formatted private key for ease of use. This is helpful for storing the private key more easily.

decrypt Method

Decrypts the input data using the specified private key.

Syntax

def decrypt() -> None: ...

Remarks

This method decrypts the input data using the private key specified in the Key* properties. Alternatively, a certificate may be specified by setting certificate

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:

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

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
3072 2544 318
4096 3568 446

encrypt Method

Encrypts the input data using the recipient's public key.

Syntax

def encrypt() -> None: ...

Remarks

This method encrypts the input data using the public key specified in the RecipientKey* properties. Alternatively, a certificate may be specified by setting recipient_cert

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:

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

reset Method

Resets the class.

Syntax

def reset() -> None: ...

Remarks

When called, the class will reset all of its properties to their default values.

sign Method

Creates a hash signature.

Syntax

def sign() -> None: ...

Remarks

This method will create a hash signature.

Before calling this method specify the input file by setting input_file or input_message.

A key is required to create the hash signature. You may create a new key by calling create_key, or specify an existing key pair in key. Alternatively, a certificate may be specified by setting certificate. When this method is called the class will compute the hash for the specified file and populate hash_value. It will then create the hash signature using the specified key and populate hash_signature.

To create the hash signature without first computing the hash simply specify hash_value before calling this method.

The on_progress event will fire with updates for the hash computation progress only. The hash signature creation process is quick and does not require progress updates.

verify_signature Method

Verifies the signature for the specified data.

Syntax

def verify_signature() -> bool: ...

Remarks

This method will verify a hash signature.

Before calling this method specify the input file by setting input_file or input_message.

A public key and the hash signature are required to perform the signature verification. Specify the public key in signer_key. Alternatively, a certificate may be specified by setting signer_cert. Specify the hash signature in hash_signature.

When this method is called the class will compute the hash for the specified file and populate hash_value. It will verify the signature using the specified signer_key and hash_signature.

To verify the hash signature without first computing the hash simply specify hash_value before calling this method.

The on_progress event will fire with updates for the hash computation progress only. The hash signature verification process is quick and does not require progress updates.

on_error Event

Fired when information is available about errors during data delivery.

Syntax

class RSAErrorEventParams(object):
  @property
  def error_code() -> int: ...

  @property
  def description() -> str: ...

# In class RSA:
@property
def on_error() -> Callable[[RSAErrorEventParams], None]: ...
@on_error.setter
def on_error(event_hook: Callable[[RSAErrorEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

The on_error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the class fails with an error.

The ErrorCode parameter contains an error code, and the Description parameter contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.

on_progress Event

Fired as progress is made.

Syntax

class RSAProgressEventParams(object):
  @property
  def bytes_processed() -> int: ...

  @property
  def percent_processed() -> int: ...

# In class RSA:
@property
def on_progress() -> Callable[[RSAProgressEventParams], None]: ...
@on_progress.setter
def on_progress(event_hook: Callable[[RSAProgressEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

This event is fired automatically as data is processed by the class.

The PercentProcessed parameter indicates the current status of the operation.

The BytesProcessed parameter holds the total number of bytes processed so far.

RSA Config Settings

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 method.

RSA Config Settings

KeyFormat:   How the public and private key are formatted.

This setting controls the format of key_public_key and key_private_key. By default these properties 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 use_oaep 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: This setting is not applicable when UseFIPSCompliantAPI is set to True or when the private key of the signing certificate is not exportable since the underlying system implementation does not support separate OAEPRSAHashAlgorithm and OAEPMGF1HashAlgorithm values. In this case the OAEPRSAHashAlgorithm is also used for MGF1.

OAEPParams:   The hex encoded OAEP parameters.

This configuration setting optionally specifies Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding (OAEP) parameters to be used when use_oaep is set to True. The specified value should be hex encoded.

OAEPRSAHashAlgorithm:   The RSA hash algorithm used with OAEP.

This configuration setting specifies that RSA hash algorithm used when use_oaep is set to True. The default value is SHA256. Possible values are as follows:

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

Base Config Settings

BuildInfo:   Information about the product's build.

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.
MaskSensitive:   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.

This setting only works on these classes: AS3Receiver, AS3Sender, Atom, Client(3DS), FTP, FTPServer, IMAP, OFTPClient, SSHClient, SCP, Server(3DS), Sexec, SFTP, SFTPServer, SSHServer, TCPClient, TCPServer.

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 do_events is called, the class will wait for the amount of time specified here before returning. The default value is 20.

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 section.
