I am trying to read Smart Card,have got success response after GET RESPONSE command. trying to read receive_buffer data and convert to NSString. But I am getting junk String "=AAj" for newString. Please help me how to read receive_buffer.

I convert NSString to byte Array. It ok, then I convert NSData to base64 is wrong. if "010203040506" is right but with high number (exam: #"333435363738") is wrong. This is my code. Please help me.
In Android: ISIjJCUm and iOS: MzQ1Njc4.
NSString *command = #"333435363738";
NSMutableData *commandToSend= [[NSMutableData alloc] init];
unsigned long whole_byte;
char byte_chars[3] = {'\0','\0','\0'};
int i;
for (i=0; i < [command length] /2; i++) {
NSLog(#"%d",[command characterAtIndex:i*2]);
NSLog(#"%d",[command characterAtIndex:i*2 + 1]);
byte_chars[0] = [command characterAtIndex:i*2];
byte_chars[1] = [command characterAtIndex:i*2 + 1];
whole_byte = strtol(byte_chars, NULL, 16);
[commandToSend appendBytes:&whole_byte length:1];
}
NSString *base64String;
if ([commandToSend respondsToSelector:#selector(base64EncodedStringWithOptions:)]) {
base64String = [commandToSend base64EncodedStringWithOptions:kNilOptions]; // iOS 7+
} else {
base64String = [commandToSend base64Encoding]; // pre iOS7
}
Your code produces the string MzQ1Njc4 which is the bas64 encoding of the bytes 0x33, 0x34, 0x35, 0x36, 0x37, 0x38. This appears to be what the code is meant to do.
The string ISIjJCUm is the base64 encoding of 0x21, 0x22, 0x23, 0x24, 0x25, 0x26.
Note that 0x21 is 33 decimal. So it looks like you were either meant to interpret the string as decimal on iOS or as hex on Android.
Is there any method in Objective-C that converts a hex string to bytes? For example #"1156FFCD3430AA22" to an unsigned char array {0x11, 0x56, 0xFF, ...}.
Fastest NSString category implementation that I could think of (cocktail of some examples):
- (NSData *)dataFromHexString {
const char *chars = [self UTF8String];
int i = 0, len = self.length;
NSMutableData *data = [NSMutableData dataWithCapacity:len / 2];
char byteChars[3] = {'\0','\0','\0'};
unsigned long wholeByte;
while (i < len) {
byteChars[0] = chars[i++];
byteChars[1] = chars[i++];
wholeByte = strtoul(byteChars, NULL, 16);
[data appendBytes:&wholeByte length:1];
}
return data;
}
It is close to 8 times faster than wookay's solution. NSScanner is quite slow.

The scanHexInt: and similar methods of NSScanner might be helpful in doing what you want, but you'd probably need to break the string up into smaller chunks first, in which case doing the translation manually might be simpler than using NSScanner.
Not in the way you are doing it. You'll need to write your own method to take every two characters, interpret them as an int, and store them in an array.

Several solution is returned wrong value if the string like this
"DBA"
The correct data for "DBA" string is "\x0D\xBA" (int value : 3514)
if you got a data is not like this "\x0D\xBA" it mean you got a wrong byte because the value will be different, for example you got data like this "\xDB\x0A" the int value is 56074
Here is rewrite the solution:

if([string length] % 2 == 1){
string = [#"0"stringByAppendingString:string];
}

i have a public key which i gathered from a remote server and i want to perform RSA encryption with that public key. But the problem is i get the public key data as byte array in buffer. I can convert it to NSData but i can not convert to SecKeyRef so i can keep going with encryption. My encryption code is like:
+(NSString *)encryptRSA:(NSString *)plainTextString withKey:(SecKeyRef)publicKey {
size_t cipherBufferSize = SecKeyGetBlockSize(publicKey);
uint8_t *cipherBuffer = malloc(cipherBufferSize);
uint8_t *nonce = (uint8_t *)[plainTextString UTF8String];
SecKeyEncrypt(publicKey,
kSecPaddingOAEP,
nonce,
strlen( (char*)nonce ),
&cipherBuffer[0],
&cipherBufferSize);
NSData *encryptedData = [NSData dataWithBytes:cipherBuffer length:cipherBufferSize];
return [encryptedData base64EncodedStringWithOptions:NSDataBase64Encoding64CharacterLineLength];
}
As you can see i need SecKeyRef object type to complete my encryption. But my RSA public key is in NSData variable. So how can i convert NSData to SecKeyRef object type. Thanks in advance.
Use this function to save your public key. Pass your RAS public key and any name for peername.

TRC_DBG(#"SecItemCopying OSStATUS = %ld", sanityCheck);
// TRC_DBG(#"SecItem copy matching returned this public key data %#", persistPeer);
// The nice thing about persistent references is that you can write their value out to disk and
// then use them later. I don't do that here but it certainly can make sense for other situations
// where you don't want to have to keep building up dictionaries of attributes to get a reference.

// Also take a look at SecKeyWrapper's methods (CFTypeRef)getPersistentKeyRefWithKeyRef:(SecKeyRef)key

[peerTag release];
[peerPublicKeyAttr release];
if (persistPeer) CFRelease(persistPeer);
}
This is the function to retrieve the public key ref. Pass the same name which one is used for save.
-(SecKeyRef)getPublicKeyReference:(NSString*)peerName{
OSStatus sanityCheck = noErr;

I have to remove an NSString (containing some confidential data) from memory but not only by setting it to nil, but by nullifying it's bytes. What I've tried so far is:
NSString *str = #"test";
NSLog(#"original string:%#", str);
CFStringRef ref = (__bridge CFStringRef)str;
const char * strPtr = CFStringGetCStringPtr(ref, kCFStringEncodingUTF8);
memset(strPtr, 0, [str lengthOfBytesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]);
NSLog(#"cleared string:%#", str);
but the function CFStringGetCStringPtr is returning NULL so it crashes at the line with the memset. Apple says here that in some cases it is normal for that function to return NULL, but then I don't know how to solve this.
Thanks in advance
Don't store confident data as strings. You can't remove them from memory easily.
If possible, use NSMutableData to store confident data, instead.
Try This:
NSMutableString *str = [NSMutableString stringWithString:#"test"];
NSLog(#"original string:%#", str);
CFStringRef ref = ( CFStringRef)str;
CFIndex stringLength = CFStringGetLength(ref), usedBytes = 0L;
const char * strPtr = NULL;
strPtr = CFStringGetCStringPtr(ref, kCFStringEncodingUTF8);
char *freeUTF8StringPtr = NULL;
for(CFIndex idx = 0L; (strPtr != NULL) && (strPtr[idx] != 0); idx++)
{
if(strPtr[idx] >= 128) { strPtr = NULL; }
}
if((strPtr == NULL) && ((freeUTF8StringPtr = malloc(stringLength + 1L)) != NULL))
{
CFStringGetBytes(ref, CFRangeMake(0L, stringLength), kCFStringEncodingUTF8, '?', false, (UInt8*)freeUTF8StringPtr, stringLength, &usedBytes);
freeUTF8StringPtr[usedBytes] = 0;
strPtr = (const char *)freeUTF8StringPtr;
}
NSUInteger memorySize=[str lengthOfBytesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSLog(#"cleared string:%#", str);
I have tried something like this below:-
NSMutableString *str = #"test";
NSLog(#"original string:%#", str);
CFStringRef ref = (__bridge CFStringRef)str;//kCFStringEncodingUTF16
const char * strPtr = CFStringGetCStringPtr(ref, kCFStringEncodingUTF16);
NSUInteger memorySize=[str lengthOfBytesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSLog(#"cleared string:%d", memorySize);
Output := 4
