I am creating key using following code
let tag = "com.example.keys.mykey".data(using: .utf8)!
let attributes: [String: Any] =
[kSecAttrKeyType as String: kSecAttrKeyTypeECSECPrimeRandom,
kSecAttrKeySizeInBits as String: 256,
kSecPrivateKeyAttrs as String:
[kSecAttrIsPermanent as String: true,
kSecAttrApplicationTag as String: tag]]
guard let privateKey = SecKeyCreateRandomKey(attributes as CFDictionary, &error) else {
throw error!.takeRetainedValue() as Error}
Getting public key using
let publicKey = SecKeyCopyPublicKey(privateKey)
func addDerKeyInfo(rawPublicKey:[UInt8]) -> [UInt8] {
let DerHdrSubjPubKeyInfo:[UInt8]=[
/* Ref: RFC 5480 - SubjectPublicKeyInfo's ASN encoded header */
0x30, 0x59, /* SEQUENCE */
0x30, 0x13, /* SEQUENCE */
0x06, 0x07, 0x2A, 0x86, 0x48, 0xCE, 0x3D, 0x02, 0x01, /* oid: 1.2.840.10045.2.1 */
0x06, 0x08, 0x2A, 0x86, 0x48, 0xCE, 0x3D, 0x03, 0x01, 0x07, /* oid: 1.2.840.10045.3.1.7 */
0x03, 0x42, /* BITSTRING */
0x00 /* unused number of bits in bitstring, followed by raw public-key bits */]
let derKeyInfo = DerHdrSubjPubKeyInfo + rawPublicKey
return derKeyInfo
}
func convertbase64StringToByteArray(base64String: String) -> [UInt8] {
if let nsdata = NSData(base64Encoded: base64String, options: NSData.Base64DecodingOptions.ignoreUnknownCharacters) {
var bytes = [UInt8](repeating: 0, count: nsdata.length)
nsdata.getBytes(&bytes,length: nsdata.length)
return bytes
}
else
{
print("Invalid base64 String")
}
}
func convertSecKeyToDerKeyFormat(publicKey:SecKey) throws -> String
{
do
{
if let externalRepresentationOfPublicKey = SecKeyCopyExternalRepresentation(publicKey,&error)
{
let derKeyFormat = externalRepresentationOfPublicKey as Data
var publicKeyByteArray = try convertbase64StringToByteArray(base64String: derKeyFormat.base64EncodedString())
publicKeyByteArray = addDerKeyInfo(rawPublicKey: publicKeyByteArray)
let base64EncodedPublicKey:String=Data(publicKeyByteArray).base64EncodedString()
return base64EncodedPublicKey
}
else
{
throw error as! Error
}
}
catch
{
throw error
}
}
Call convertSecKeyToDerKeyFormat function by passing public key to it.
