Convert NSData to PEM to Sign Certificate in Node.js - ios

I am creating a CSR using this library on iOS and then encoding it as Base 64.
https://github.com/ateska/ios-csr
The library creates the CSR as NS Data on iOS.
I am able to send this data to my Node.JS server. I want to convert this to a PEM so that I can sign this CSR using the server's private key. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks

With SCCCSR from ios-csr library you will have a certificate request in PKCS#10 format, encoded in binary
let certificateRequest = sccsr.build(publicKey, privateKey: privateKey)
A PEM format requires a conversion to Base64 and around with the -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE REQUEST----- and -----END CERTIFICATE REQUEST----- headers
let certificateRequestB64 = certificateRequest.base64EncodedStringWithOptions(NSDataBase64EncodingOptions())
let certificateRequestPEM =
"-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----\\n" + certificateRequestB64 + "\\n-----END CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----\\n"

Apple Wallet NFC encryptionPublicKey

In Apple's documentation for the keys available for a Wallet pass, there's an option for a dictionary for NFC-related data. I understand that use of this key requires special permission from Apple. Regardless ...
message is straight forward -- it's the data passed to a NFC terminal (usually a unique identifier for the customer).
encryptionPublicKey, however, has me confused. Apple states it is the public encryption key used by the Value Added Services protocol. Use a Base64 encoded X.509 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structure containing a ECDH public key for group P256.
Can anyone explain what this second sentence means and/or what a developer would have to do to generate this? From what would one even generate the public/private keys?
You'll need the following to generate the public and private key. The private key is used by the merchant hardware when reading the pass and decoding the payload.
The compressed public key is what goes into your pass.json.
openssl ecparam -name prime256v1 -genkey -noout -out nfcKey.pem
openssl ec -in nfcKey.pem -pubout -out nfcPubkey.pem -conv_form compressed
cat nfcPubkey.pem
Outputs:
-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----
MDkwEwYHKoZIzj0CAQYIKoZIzj0DAQcDIgAC/Bu9nyAtG1DQe7t7jszLb+dZ1GbX
oR8G0rIXoak67NM=
-----END PUBLIC KEY---
You'll need Base64 key (without the newline) for the encryptionPublicKey field.
E.g.
MDkwEwYHKoZIzj0CAQYIKoZIzj0DAQcDIgAC/Bu9nyAtG1DQe7t7jszLb+dZ1GbXoR8G0rIXoak67NM=

How to validate x509 certificate against CRL byte array in iOS

I am using OpenSSL to get the byte array of CRL (certificateRevocationList) with a specific dn from my local ldap server.
The CRL data is an ASN1 byte array as follows:
<308202bb 308201a3 02010130 0d06092a 864886f7 ... d179fa>
My intention is to validate a X509 certificate against the CRL.
I think I can use X509_CRL_get0_by_cert() to verify a certificate
https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.1.0/crypto/X509_CRL_get0_by_cert.html
But first I need to create a X509_CRL structure from the byte array.
After that I need to verify my certificate against the X509_CRL.
Please help me to find a way.
You need to create BIO first. After that use d2i_X509_CRL_bio to create crl.
Appoximatelly like this:
BIO* memoryBIO = BIO_new_mem_buf(buffer, bufferSize);
X509_CRL* crl = d2i_X509_CRL_bio(memoryBIO, NULL);

SWCrypt public key VS PKCS8PEM Key

I want to user SWCrypt for RSA encryption and decryption. i should send my public key base64 decoded to server. but when i try send generated public key base64 i can't get this error in server side:
let (privateKey, publicKey) = try CC.RSA.generateKeyPair(2048)
let publicKeyBase64 = publicKey.base64EncodedString()
error: java.security.InvalidKeyException: IOException: algid parse error, not a sequence
but when send PEMPublicKey getting successfully response.
let publicKeyPEM = SwKeyConvert.PublicKey.derToPKCS8PEM(publicKey)
what is difference between publicKeyBase64 and publicKeyPEM?

how can send generated public key simple of PEM key format?
thanks.
X509 is a standard for Public Key Infraestructure, not a encoding format. You can encode a X509 public key in PEM (base64), DER(binary) or XML. Also the binary data of the public key can be represented in PCKS#1 or X509 SubjectPublicKeyInfo.
In my knowledge PKCS#8 is a standard for private keys. See PKCS #8: Private-Key Information Syntax Standard. So I guess SWCrypt is really using X509 SubjectPublicKeyInfo (Maybe i have not read some RFCs), which is what your server is waiting for.
let publicKeyPEM = SwKeyConvert.PublicKey.derToPKCS8PEM(publicKey)
SubjectPublicKeyInfo encapsulates the public key into a ASN.1 structure adding a header. If you encode the raw data of the public key (DER) using publicKey.base64EncodedString, that header is not added and your server does not know how to manage it.

ruby encode a p12 certificate(binary) and send as a json response

I have a pem certificate with a private key.
I am using the above information to generate a p12 certificate which is password protected as follows:
def p12_cert
ca_cert = x509_cert(File.open("#{root}/ca-cert.crt").read)
p12 = OpenSSL::PKCS12.create(#random_pass, 'My Certificate',
rsa_pkey(private_key), x509_cert(public_cert), [ca_cert])
create_file('p12', p12.to_der, ':ASCII-8BIT')
end
The issue is this is in binary format and cannot be transmitted via a json API.
Can someone how me how to encode it(maybe base64) so that this can be sent as a JSON response?
EDIT: I opened the p12 file for read and then tried to base64 encode, got the following:
irb(main):017:0> enc_p12 = Base64.encode64(p12) TypeError: no implicit
conversion of OpenSSL::PKCS12 into String
You don't usually encode the PKCS12 object itself but the raw file. Something like
Base64.encode64( File.read(filename, mode: 'rb')

Reading Private Key in PEM format with LockBox

I have to digitally sign a string using the SHA-1 algorithm with RSA using PKCS#1 padding. I have downloaded Turbo Power Lockbox.
The private key I have is in PEM format and was created using openssl:
openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:1024 -sha1 -subj
"/C=US/ST=CA/L=Mountain View/CN=www.mycompany.com"
-keyout myrsakey.pem -out c:\temp\myrsacert.pem
Here is what it looks like:

-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
If I am not mistaken, the component I want to use is TLbRSAKey. So I have tried to create key object and read it from file:
var
mPrivateKey: TLbRSAKey;
begin
mPrivateKey := TLbRSAKey.Create(aks1024);
mPrivateKey.LoadFromFile('C:\temp\myrsakey.pem');
On the LoadFromFile I get a "Invalid RSA Key" error. What am I doing wrong? Does Lockbox support keys in PEM format? None of the examples illustrate; everything seems to be in ASN format
I am not a delphi programmer, but I thought I'd try to provide some pointers.
First, make sure you generate a new private key for your real application. Now that you've shared your private key with us, we wouldn't want any open security holes out there.
Secondly, the ASN.1 format is generated using the DER output from OpenSSL. The PEM format is just the base-64 encoding of the binary ASN.1 structure (and the markers are added).
You can get back to DER in one of two ways:
1) You can parse and decode the base-64 data in the PEM envelope. To do this, just decode the data between the -----BEGIN/END RSA PRIVATE KEY----- markers.
Or, since you are creating a new key anyway... ;)
2) You could use the -outform DER argument when you generate your key using OpenSSL.
I'm not certain this will work for your application, but maybe it will help get you a little further.
TIP to convert a PEM provate key to DER format, use the rsa utility in OpenSSL:
openssl rsa -inform PEM -outform DER -in privkey.pem -out privkey.der
