How to use .key and .crt file in java that generated by openssl?

I need asymmetric encryption in java. I generate .key and .crt files with own password and .crt file by openssl that said in http://www.imacat.idv.tw/tech/sslcerts.html .

How开发者_如何学编程 to use these .key and .crt file to extract publickey and private key in Java?

Your .key and .crt files may be in PEM format. To check this open them with a text editor and check whether the content looks like ------BEGIN CERTIFICATE------ (or "begin RSA private key"...). This is generally the default format used by OpenSSL, unless you've explicitly specified DER.

It's probably not required (see below), but if your certificate is in DER format (a binary format), you can convert them in PEM format using:

openssl x509 -inform DER -in cert.crt -outform PEM -out cert.pem

(Check the help for openssl rsa for doing something similar with the private key if needed.)

You then get two options:

• Build a PKCS#12 file

  openssl pkcs12 -export -in myhost.crt -inkey myhost.key -out myhost.p12
  

You can then use it directly from Java as a keystore of type "PKCS12". Most Java applications should allow you to specify a keystore type in addition to the file location. For the default system properties, this is done with javax.net.ssl.keyStoreType (but the application you're using might not be using this). Otherwise, if you want to load it explicitly, use something like this:

KeyStore ks = KeyStore.getInstance("PKCS12");
FileInputStream fis =
    new FileInputStream("/path/to/myhost.p12");
ks.load(fis, "password".toCharArray()); // There are other ways to read the password.
fis.close();

(Then, you should be able to iterate through the aliases() of the KeyStore and use getCertificate (and then getPublicKey() for the public key) and getKey().

• Use BouncyCastle's PEMReader.

   FileReader fr = ... // Create a FileReader for myhost.crt
   PEMReader pemReader = new PEMReader(fr);
   X509Certificate cert = (X509Certificate)pemReader.readObject();
   PublicKey pk = cert.getPublicKey();
   // Close reader...
  

For the private key, you'll need to implement a PasswordFinder (see link from PEMReader doc) for constructing the PEMReader if the private key is password-protected. (You'll need to cast the result of readObject() into a Key or PrivateKey.)

This should do what you want to do (using the BouncyCastle PEMReader as suggested above) -- take a PEM-encoded private key + certificate, and output a PKCS#12 file. Uses the same password for the PKCS12 that was used to protect the private key.

public static byte[] pemToPKCS12(final String keyFile, final String cerFile, final String password) throws Exception {
    // Get the private key
    FileReader reader = new FileReader(keyFile);

    PEMReader pem = new PEMReader(reader, new PasswordFinder() {
        @Override public char[] getPassword() {
            return password.toCharArray();
        }
    });

    PrivateKey key = ((KeyPair)pem.readObject()).getPrivate();

    pem.close();
    reader.close();

    // Get the certificate      
    reader = new FileReader(cerFile);
    pem = new PEMReader(reader);

    X509Certificate cert = (X509Certificate)pem.readObject();

    pem.close();
    reader.close();

    // Put them into a PKCS12 keystore and write it to a byte[]
    ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    KeyStore ks = KeyStore.getInstance("PKCS12");
    ks.load(null);
    ks.setKeyEntry("alias", (Key)key, password.toCharArray(), new java.security.cert.Certificate[]{cert});
    ks.store(bos, password.toCharArray());
    bos.close();
    return bos.toByteArray();
}

Take a look at org.bouncycastle.crypto.generators.OpenSSLPBEParametersGenerator

As I understand it, OpenSSL has saved files in so-called PEM format. You need to convert it to Java Key Storage (JKS) format, then work with that format (which is native to Java) to extract files. For conversion please use this Google query, it gives pretty good results.

Load the JKS file to java.security.KeyStore class. Then use getCertificate and getKey methods to get the needed information.
