He generado una clave privada con:

openssl genrsa [-out file] –des3

Después de esto, he generado una clave pública con:

openssl rsa –pubout -in private.key [-out file]

Quiero firmar algunos mensajes con mi clave privada y verificar algunos otros mensajes con mi clave pública, usando un código como este:

public String sign(String message) throws SignatureException{
    try {
        Signature sign = Signature.getInstance("SHA1withRSA");
        sign.initSign(privateKey);
        sign.update(message.getBytes("UTF-8"));
        return new String(Base64.encodeBase64(sign.sign()),"UTF-8");
    } catch (Exception ex) {
        throw new SignatureException(ex);
    }
}

public boolean verify(String message, String signature) throws SignatureException{
    try {
        Signature sign = Signature.getInstance("SHA1withRSA");
        sign.initVerify(publicKey);
        sign.update(message.getBytes("UTF-8"));
        return sign.verify(Base64.decodeBase64(signature.getBytes("UTF-8")));
    } catch (Exception ex) {
        throw new SignatureException(ex);
    }
}

Encontré una solución para convertir mi clave privada al formato PKCS8 y cargarla. Funciona con un código como este:

public PrivateKey getPrivateKey(String filename) throws Exception {

    File f = new File(filename);
    FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(f);
    DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(fis);
    byte[] keyBytes = new byte[(int) f.length()];
    dis.readFully(keyBytes);
    dis.close();
    PKCS8EncodedKeySpec spec = new PKCS8EncodedKeySpec(keyBytes);
    KeyFactory kf =
            KeyFactory.getInstance("RSA");
    return kf.generatePrivate(spec);
}

Y finalmente mi pregunta es: ¿Cómo cargo mi clave pública RSA desde un archivo?

Creo que tal vez necesito convertir mi archivo de clave pública al formato x509 y usar X509EncodedKeySpec. ¿Pero cómo puedo hacer esto?

A continuación se muestra la información relevante del enlace que proporcionó Zaki .

Genere una clave privada RSA de 2048 bits

$ openssl genrsa -out private_key.pem 2048

Convierta la clave privada al formato PKCS # 8 (para que Java pueda leerla)

$ openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -inform PEM -outform DER -in private_key.pem -out private_key.der -nocrypt

Salida de la parte de clave pública en formato DER (para que Java pueda leerla)

$ openssl rsa -in private_key.pem -pubout -outform DER -out public_key.der

Llave privada

import java.io.*;
import java.nio.*;
import java.security.*;
import java.security.spec.*;

public class PrivateKeyReader {

  public static PrivateKey get(String filename)
  throws Exception {

    byte[] keyBytes = Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get(filename));

    PKCS8EncodedKeySpec spec =
      new PKCS8EncodedKeySpec(keyBytes);
    KeyFactory kf = KeyFactory.getInstance("RSA");
    return kf.generatePrivate(spec);
  }
}

Llave pública

import java.io.*;
import java.nio.*;
import java.security.*;
import java.security.spec.*;

public class PublicKeyReader {

  public static PublicKey get(String filename)
    throws Exception {

    byte[] keyBytes = Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get(filename));

    X509EncodedKeySpec spec =
      new X509EncodedKeySpec(keyBytes);
    KeyFactory kf = KeyFactory.getInstance("RSA");
    return kf.generatePublic(spec);
  }
}

Este programa hace casi todo con claves públicas y privadas. El formato der se puede obtener pero guardando los datos brutos (sin codificar base64). Espero que esto ayude a los programadores.

Una vez que tenga su clave almacenada en un archivo PEM, puede leerla fácilmente usando las clases PemObject y PemReader proporcionadas por BouncyCastle, como se muestra en este tutorial .

Cree una clase PemFile que encapsule el manejo de archivos:

import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;

import org.bouncycastle.util.io.pem.PemObject;
import org.bouncycastle.util.io.pem.PemReader;

public class PemFile {

    private PemObject pemObject;

    public PemFile(String filename) throws FileNotFoundException, IOException {
        PemReader pemReader = new PemReader(new InputStreamReader(
                new FileInputStream(filename)));
        try {
            this.pemObject = pemReader.readPemObject();
        } finally {
            pemReader.close();
        }
    }

    public PemObject getPemObject() {
        return pemObject;
    }
}

Luego, cree una instancia de las claves públicas y privadas como de costumbre:

                    + "id_rsa");
            LOGGER.info(String.format("Instantiated private key: %s", priv));

            PublicKey pub = generatePublicKey(factory, RESOURCES_DIR
                    + "id_rsa.pub");
            LOGGER.info(String.format("Instantiated public key: %s", pub));
        } catch (InvalidKeySpecException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    private static PrivateKey generatePrivateKey(KeyFactory factory,
            String filename) throws InvalidKeySpecException,
            FileNotFoundException, IOException {
        PemFile pemFile = new PemFile(filename);
        byte[] content = pemFile.getPemObject().getContent();
        PKCS8EncodedKeySpec privKeySpec = new PKCS8EncodedKeySpec(content);
        return factory.generatePrivate(privKeySpec);
    }

    private static PublicKey generatePublicKey(KeyFactory factory,
            String filename) throws InvalidKeySpecException,
            FileNotFoundException, IOException {
        PemFile pemFile = new PemFile(filename);
        byte[] content = pemFile.getPemObject().getContent();
        X509EncodedKeySpec pubKeySpec = new X509EncodedKeySpec(content);
        return factory.generatePublic(pubKeySpec);
    }
}

Espero que esto ayude.
