Python Generate Rsa Key Pair

Python PyCrypto: Generate RSA Keys Example.py

RSA (Rivest–Shamir–Adleman) is one of the first public-key cryptosystems and is widely used for secure data transmission. In such a cryptosystem, the encryption key is public and distinct from the decryption key which is kept secret (private). In RSA, this asymmetry is based on the practical difficulty of factoring the product of two large prime numbers, the 'factoring problem'. There isn't too much to see here because the key generation simply relies on RSA.generate(2048), but I wonder why you would need this code as it is exceedingly shallow. Regenerating key pairs for signing at startup is utter nonsense because a key pair is next to useless if the public key.

defgenerate_RSA(bits=2048):
''
Generate an RSA keypair with an exponent of 65537 in PEM format
param: bits The key length in bits
Return private key and public key
''
fromCrypto.PublicKeyimportRSA
new_key=RSA.generate(bits, e=65537)
public_key=new_key.publickey().exportKey('PEM')
private_key=new_key.exportKey('PEM')
returnprivate_key, public_key

Pycrypto is unmaintained and has known vulnerabilities. Use pycryptodome, it is a drop-in replacement.

e should be random methinks =P

@miigotu 'youthinks' wrong. e should be chosen so that e and λ(n) are coprime. It is not chosen at random, and since it is usually small for computation reasons, and included in the public key, it can always be known by an attacker anyway.

Nice But How Can I Write The Private Key I Tried This:
f = open('PublicKey.pem','w')
f.write(publick_key)
f.close()

BUT IT DOESN'T WORK WITH THE PRIVATE KEY, JUST RETURNS 0B

In this chapter, we will focus on step wise implementation of RSA algorithm using Python.

Generating RSA keys

The following steps are involved in generating RSA keys −

  • Create two large prime numbers namely p and q. The product of these numbers will be called n, where n= p*q

  • Generate a random number which is relatively prime with (p-1) and (q-1). Let the number be called as e.

  • Calculate the modular inverse of e. The calculated inverse will be called as d.

Algorithms for generating RSA keys

We need two primary algorithms for generating RSA keys using Python − Cryptomath module and Rabin Miller module.

Cryptomath Module

The source code of cryptomath module which follows all the basic implementation of RSA algorithm is as follows −

RabinMiller Module

The source code of RabinMiller module which follows all the basic implementation of RSA algorithm is as follows −

The number of bytes stored in thisbyte array are returned. Beginning atinputOffset, only the first inputLen bytes areen/decrypted. En/decrypts the given data.Applications shall use the corresponding doFinal method ofjavax.crypto.Cipher for provider independently doing the dataen/decryption.The data to be processed is given in an input byte array. Java pkcs 5 key generation 4. Unwraps (RSA decrypts) the given wrapped key. The result is stored in the given output byte array,beginning at outputOffset.
