Error creating Asn1Object from ByteArray (extra data found after object) - bouncycastle

I'm having some trouble creating Asn1 object with bouncy castle. I've generated an unused key with try to illustrate what I'm doing.

-----END OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----
My program snippet has access to the bits between BEGIN and END (basically, above snippet without first and last line).
My code snippet looks something like this (copied from online tutorials) with the input privateKey being a multiline string (snippet above without first and last line, includes /r/n but I've tried removing the newlines).
byte[] keyBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(privateKey);
var privKeyObj = Asn1Object.FromByteArray(keyBytes);
var privStruct = RsaPrivateKeyStructure.GetInstance((Asn1Sequence)privKeyObj);
I'm getting [ERROR] FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: System.IO.IOException: extra data found after object. Does my input need to be further sanitized? I'm hoping to be able to create a private key to use to sign a JWT.

Finding passphrase from private RSA key

I'm working with pycrpytodomex lib in python3.
Here I'm using a passphrase while generating an RSA key:
from Cryptodome.PublicKey import RSA
def encrypt(pass1):
key = RSA.generate(2048)
encrypted_key = key.exportKey(passphrase=pass1, pkcs=8, protection="scryptAndAES128-CBC").decode('utf')
return encrypted_key
I've put in a 24 char phassphrase, and this is the output:

I am able to validate the passphrase with the encrycpted key string by using this function:
def decrypt(encoded_key,pass1):
try:
key = RSA.import_key(encoded_key, passphrase=pass1)
return True
except ValueError:
return False
Supposing one only has the private key and not the passphrase (ie, you). Would it still be possible to derive the passphrase using this private key?
Alternative: Would it be possible to construct any passphrase that will return True on the decrypt() function above?
Can you find out what the (or a valid) passphrase is for the above key? What computing power and time did it take?
scryptAndAES128-CBC
It is not possible to derive the password from the ciphertext (to our current knowledge)
Can you find out what the (or a valid) passphrase is for the above key
The problem with passwords are people. Reusing passwords, using simple passwords,..
Usually passwords are looked up using dictionaries and combination tools. So the question is how "guessable" or random password is used.

How to sign ECDSA with pem private key?

I have private key with pem format.
-----BEGIN EC PRIVATE KEY-----
MHQCAQEEIBAFWFAlCWPb8IvM4yHLLKBIN/mEJU9cZnM5JD2U2EmAoAcGBSuBBAAK
oUQDQgAErMGUjbHcEf7Gk9gVOOlWdqSaGc0YhE5HBPqhoniBUG8MTx5AT7mxtuyn

I want to sign with ruby code like following.
require 'ecdsa'
def sign(str)
digest = Digest::SHA256.digest(str)
temp_key = str.size
signature = ECDSA.sign($group, $private_key, digest, temp_key)
end
I want to know how to code for reading PEM private key file and using to sign.
To parse your key stored in PEM format, you can use the openssl module: sudo gem install openssl
Using this module, you will extract the private key this way: OpenSSL::PKey::EC.new(pemcontent).private_key
Note that your private key is based on the secp256k1 elliptic curve:
% openssl ec -text 2>&1 << EOF | grep OID
-----BEGIN EC PRIVATE KEY-----
MHQCAQEEIBAFWFAlCWPb8IvM4yHLLKBIN/mEJU9cZnM5JD2U2EmAoAcGBSuBBAAK
oUQDQgAErMGUjbHcEf7Gk9gVOOlWdqSaGc0YhE5HBPqhoniBUG8MTx5AT7mxtuyn
QkydMeOciHyvvyU0gf81UW9udef2nA==
-----END EC PRIVATE KEY-----
EOF
ASN1 OID: secp256k1
Therefore, the first parameter to give to EDSA.sign() must be ECDSA::Group::Secp256k1. This is an object that contains the parameters that define this curve.
Finally, here is your code, on which I've made the changes needed to make it work:
require 'ecdsa'
require 'openssl'
def sign(str)
pemcontent = "-----BEGIN EC PRIVATE KEY-----
MHQCAQEEIBAFWFAlCWPb8IvM4yHLLKBIN/mEJU9cZnM5JD2U2EmAoAcGBSuBBAAK
oUQDQgAErMGUjbHcEf7Gk9gVOOlWdqSaGc0YhE5HBPqhoniBUG8MTx5AT7mxtuyn
QkydMeOciHyvvyU0gf81UW9udef2nA==
-----END EC PRIVATE KEY-----"
digest = Digest::SHA256.digest(str)
temp_key = str.size
signature = ECDSA.sign(ECDSA::Group::Secp256k1, OpenSSL::PKey::EC.new(pemcontent).private_key, digest, temp_key)
return signature
end
Note: the value of temp_key should be generated with a more random way than using the length of the message to sign, like you did in your example code (it is a very very bad idea since soon or later, you will sign two messages with the same length, and this could let your private key been discovered).

RSA OAEP Decryption in Python

I have a hex encoded string which I need to decrypt using RSA_OAEP algorithm.Below is my code snippet:
final_token = decoded_req['token']
print(final_token)
print("Converting actual token into bytes")
## Hex encoded string to bytes
token_to_bytes = bytes.fromhex(final_token)
print(token_to_bytes)
## Read the private key
with open('private.rsa', 'r') as pvt_key:
miPvt = pvt_key.read()
## Decrypt the token using RSA_OAEP
print("Decrypting the token")
rsakey_obj = RSA.importKey(miPvt)
cipher = PKCS1_OAEP.new(rsakey_obj)
dec_token = cipher.decrypt(token_to_bytes)
print(dec_token)
Below is the command line output:

Can someone help me in resolving this issue?
I suspect you have not correctly transferred your encrypted token. But there isn't a lot to go on.
I've used you example code though to help me write the below which does seem to work, (thank you for that) or at least it decrypted a value from another implementation.
In my case it was a node JS implementation
var nodeRsa = require("node-rsa");
const key = new nodeRsa( "-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----\n\
.
.
.
-----END PUBLIC KEY-----");
key.encrypt("passwd","base64");
If I took the output of the above and put in a file called 'ciphertext', this following python decrypts the message correctly.
import Crypto.Cipher.PKCS1_OAEP as rsaenc
import Crypto.PublicKey.RSA as RSA
import codecs
## Load the private key and the base 64 ciphertext.
with open("key.pem") as f:
keystring = f.read()
with open("ciphertext","rb") as f:
base64msg = f.read()
# Create the binary ciphertext
binmsg=codecs.decode(base64msg,'base64')
# Setup the RSA objetcs
k = RSA.importKey(keystring)
cipher = rsaenc.new(k)
plaintext = cipher.decrypt(binmsg)
print (plaintext)

Encrypt in Coldfusion, Decrypt in Node.js

I'm encrypting a string in ColdFusion
enc_string = '7001010000006aaaaaabbbbbb';
uid = encrypt(enc_string,'WTq8zYcZfaWVvMncigHqwQ==','AES','Hex');
// secret key for tests only
Result:
DAEB003D7C9DBDB042C63ED214E85854EAB92A5C1EC555765B565CD8723F9655
Later I want to decrypt that string in Node (just an example)
uid='DAEB003D7C9DBDB042C63ED214E85854EAB92A5C1EC555765B565CD8723F9655'
decipher = crypto.createDecipher('aes-192-ecb', 'WTq8zYcZfaWVvMncigHqwQ==')
decipher.setAutoPadding(false);
dec = decipher.update(uid, 'hex', 'utf8')
dec += decipher.final('utf8')
I have tried few ciphers but with no luck. I would like not to modify the ColdFusion code to make it work, but if there is no other chance I will do that. I want to send some ciphered data with GET from one site to another. Any advice?
EDIT: I tried all AES, DES, with IV, without IV, with & without padding. Tried also base64. Also with no luck.
ColdFusion Encryption with IV
enc_string = '7001010000006aaaaaabbbbbb';
myKey = Tobase64("abcdefghijkl1234");
myIV = charsetDecode("abcdefghijkl9876", "utf-8");
uid=encrypt(enc_string,myKey,'AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding','hex',myIV);
Encrypted uid value is:
614981D0BC6F19A3022FD92CD6EDD3B289214E80D74823C3279E90EBCEF75D90
Now we take it to node:
var Crypto = require('crypto');
var key = new Buffer('abcdefghijkl1234');
var iv = new Buffer('abcdefghijkl9876');
var encrypted = new Buffer('614981D0BC6F19A3022FD92CD6EDD3B289214E80D74823C3279E90EBCEF75D90', 'hex');
var decipher = Crypto.createDecipheriv('aes-128-cbc', key, iv);
var decrypted = decipher.update(encrypted);
var clearText = Buffer.concat([decrypted, decipher.final()]).toString();
console.log(clearText);
Result is:
7001010000006aaaaaabbbbbb
what was expected.
Origin of the problem
Originally in Coldfusion i was using key generated by:
GenerateSecretKey(algorithm [,keysize]);
which generated base64 key which was required by encrypt method. And there was no 'secret' from which was generated.
In Node Crypto method createDecipheriv gets Buffer as params. Buffers requires secret, not keys. I'm not sure why it doesn't work without IV.
What need to be changed in Coldfusion
Don't use GenerateSecretKey if you want to decrypt in other language than CF
Use Tobase64(secret) to generate key
Use IV and generate it using charsetDecode(ivSecret, "utf-8")
Algorithm: AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding
For AES/ECB look #Leigh answer
In Node every input is Buffer.
I think that this short tutorial can help also people who have same issue in other languages like cf->php or cf->python.
A few clarifications and corrections to the accepted answer
Short answer:
Use "crytographically random" keys produced by GenerateSecretKey() rather than creating one with Tobase64(secret).
Although technically ECB mode works (see below), CBC mode is preferred as the more secure method. For CBC, see my full example: Encrypt in ColdFusion, Decrypt in Node.js
Longer Answer:
Don't use GenerateSecretKey if you want to decrypt in other language
No, it is perfectly fine to use the generated value with the encryption functions in other languages - as long as they follow the specifications. That does not mean the values can be used in any language exactly "as is". It may need tweaking to conform with language X or Y's implementation. (For example, a function in language X may expect the key to be a hexadecimal string, instead of base64. So you may need to convert the key value first). That did not quite happen in the original code, which is why the decryption did not work.
GenerateSecretKey() produces a cryptographically random key for the specified algorithm. (While CF generates base64 encoded key strings, it could just as easily be hex encoded. The binary value of the key is what matters.) The generated key is suitable for use with any language that implements the same encryption algorithms and key sizes. However, as I mentioned in the earlier comments, symmetric encryption only works if everything matches. You must use the same key, same algorithm, same iv, etcetera for both encrypting AND decrypting. In the original code, both the "key" and "algorithm" values were different. That is why the decryption failed.
The original code used crypto.createCipher(algorithm, password). Per the API, "password" is used to derive the cipher key. In other words, the Node.js code was using a totally different key than in the CF code. Also, Node.js was configured to use a 192 bit key, whereas the CF code was using a 128 bit key.
To answer your original question, yes - you can use ECB mode (though it is strongly discouraged). However, it requires modifying the CF code to derive the same password Node.js will be using. (The other direction is not possible as it involves one-way hashing.)
To derive the "password" in CF, decode the secret key string into binary and generate an md5 hash. Then decode the hash into binary and re-encode it as base64 to make the encrypt() function happy.
CF:
plainText = "7001010000006aaaaaabbbbbb";
secretKey = "WTq8zYcZfaWVvMncigHqwQ==";
keyHash = hash(binaryDecode(secretKey, "base64"), "md5");
nodeJSPassword = binaryEncode(binaryDecode(keyHash, "hex"), "base64");
encryptedText = encrypt(plainText, nodeJSPassword, "AES/ECB/PKCS5Padding", "Hex");
writeOutput(encryptedText);
Result:
C43E1179C15CD962373A6E28486D6F4ADB12FBB6731EF99C9212474E18D51C70
On the Node.js side, modify the code to use a 128 bit key, not 192. Also, password strings are first decoded into binary. When creating the cipher object, you need to indicate the input string is base64 encoded, to ensure it is interpreted properly.
Node.js
var password = 'WTq8zYcZfaWVvMncigHqwQ==';
var passwordBinary = new Buffer(password, "base64");
var encrypted = 'C43E1179C15CD962373A6E28486D6F4ADB12FBB6731EF99C9212474E18D51C70'
var crypto = require('crypto');
var decipher = crypto.createDecipher('aes-128-ecb', passwordBinary );
var decrypted = decipher.update(encrypted, 'hex', 'utf8');
decrypted += decipher.final('utf8');
console.log(decrypted);
Result:
7001010000006aaaaaabbbbbb
Having said that, Using ECB mode is NOT recommended. The preferred method is CBC mode (with a random iv), which generates less predictable output and hence is more secure.
than CF Use Tobase64(secret) to generate key
Along those same lines, while you can technically use arbitrary strings, ie "abcdefghijkl1234", to generate a key - DON'T. A very important part of strong encryption is using secret keys that are "truly random and contain sufficient entropy". So do not just do it yourself. Use a proven function or library, like GenerateSecretKey(), which was specifically designed for the task.
The ciphers you are using to encrypt and decrypt are not equal.
For Node to decrypt your result to the expected string, you should first make sure that encrypting the initial string in Node gives you the same encrypted result.
Consider the following, which runs through all known (to me) AES ciphers in Node, and tries to get the same encrypted result that you get from Coldfusion:
var crypto = require('crypto');
var key = 'WTq8zYcZfaWVvMncigHqwQ==';
var algorithm;
var ciphers = [
'aes-128-cbc',
'aes-128-cbc-hmac-sha1',
'aes-128-cfb',
'aes-128-cfb1',
'aes-128-cfb8',
'aes-128-ctr',
'aes-128-ecb',
'aes-128-gcm',
'aes-128-ofb',
'aes-128-xts',
'aes-192-cbc',
'aes-192-cfb',
'aes-192-cfb1',
'aes-192-cfb8',
'aes-192-ctr',
'aes-192-ecb',
'aes-192-gcm',
'aes-192-ofb',
'aes-256-cbc',
'aes-256-cbc-hmac-sha1',
'aes-256-cfb',
'aes-256-cfb1',
'aes-256-cfb8',
'aes-256-ctr',
'aes-256-ecb',
'aes-256-gcm',
'aes-256-ofb',
'aes-256-xts',
'aes128',
'aes192',
'aes256'
]
function encrypt(text){
var cipher = crypto.createCipher(algorithm, key);
var crypted = cipher.update(text,'utf8','hex');
crypted += cipher.final('hex');
return crypted;
}
for (var i = 0; i < ciphers.length; i++) {
algorithm = ciphers[i];
console.log(encrypt("7001010000006aaaaaabbbbbb"));
}
If you run this you will get the following output:

The encrypted result you have from Coldfusion is not present in the above output.
So, using the AES ciphers available in Node, the encrypted result is always different from your encrypted result from Coldfusion. If the encrypted result is always different, you cannot decrypt it to the same value.
The Coldfusion Encryption Docs are not very helpful at describing exactly which algorithm is used when simply specifying "AES". I would strongly recommend specifying a precise algorithm to use, including which key size to use, and choose one that has a corresponding algorithm in Node.

How do you authenticate aws s3 authentication version 4 requests, in node.js?

I'm following this guide: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/sig-v4-header-based-auth.html
And I'm having a difficulty at the last step, where you use the signing key to create the signature.
This step of the first GET example:
signing key = HMAC-SHA256(HMAC-SHA256(HMAC-SHA256(HMAC-SHA256("AWS4" + "<YourSecretAccessKey>","20130524"),"us-east-1"),"s3"),"aws4_request")
does not have the resulting signing key, so I don't know if it's right. Instead of the signature
f0e8bdb87c964420e857bd35b5d6ed310bd44f0170aba48dd91039c6036bdb41 I am getting f03131e53fcdcd3605054f5ead58370d14a672add94bda5da0a69d65d03e7edc.
Can someone tell me what the signing key for the example is? I think it is the step that I'm missing.
I can post my 253 lines of express.js code upon request. The step before this, where I get the string to sign (7344ae5b7ee6c3e7e6b0fe0640412a37625d1fbfff95c48bbb2dc43964946972) is correct.
The correct signing key of the example is dbb893acc010964918f1fd433add87c70e8b0db6be30c1fbeafefa5ec6ba8378.
It is important (but only noted on a different page of the docs) that you use the raw buffers for calculating the signing key, and that you pass a raw buffer to the HMAC function that calculates the final signature.
Or, as pseudocode, given that the third parameter of the hmac(key, msg, format) function allows you whether you want to get a hexadecimal string or a raw byte array:
Buffer dateKey = hmac(('AWS4' + secretAccessKey).toBuffer(), date, 'buffer');
Buffer dateRegionKey = hmac(dateKey, region, 'buffer');
Buffer dateRegionServiceKey = hmac2(dateRegionKey, 's3', 'buffer');
Buffer signingKey = hmac2(dateRegionServiceKey, 'aws4_request', 'buffer');
print("SigningKey\n" + signingKey.toHex());
String signature = hmac(signingKey, stringToSign, 'hex');
print("Signature\n" + signature);
