Object Creation

let obj = CkoRsa()

Properties

Charset
Charset: String

This property only applies when encrypting, decrypting, signing, or verifying signatures for strings. When encrypting strings, the input string is first converted to this charset before encrypting.

When decrypting, the decrypted data is interpreted as a string with this charset encoding and converted to the appropriate return. For example, ActiveX's returning strings always return Unicode (2 bytes/char). Java strings are utf-8. Chilkat C++ strings are ANSI or utf-8. .NET strings are Unicode.

The default value of this property is the ANSI charset of the local computer.

When signing string data, the input string is first converted to this charset before being hashed and signed. When verifying the signature for string data, the input string is first converted to this charset before the verification process begins.

top
DebugLogFilePath
DebugLogFilePath: String

If set to a file path, causes each Chilkat method or property call to automatically append it's LastErrorText to the specified log file. The information is appended such that if a hang or crash occurs, it is possible to see the context in which the problem occurred, as well as a history of all Chilkat calls up to the point of the problem. The VerboseLogging property can be set to provide more detailed information.

This property is typically used for debugging the rare cases where a Chilkat method call hangs or generates an exception that halts program execution (i.e. crashes). A hang or crash should generally never happen. The typical causes of a hang are:

  1. a timeout related property was set to 0 to explicitly indicate that an infinite timeout is desired,
  2. the hang is actually a hang within an event callback (i.e. it is a hang within the application code), or
  3. there is an internal problem (bug) in the Chilkat code that causes the hang.

top
EncodingMode
EncodingMode: String

Encoding mode to be used in methods ending in "ENC", such as EncryptStringENC. Valid EncodingModes are "base64", "hex", "url", or "quoted-printable" (or "qp"). Encryption methods ending in "ENC" will return encrypted data as a string encoded according to this property's value. Decryption methods ending in "ENC" accept an encoded string as specified by this property. The string is first decoded and then decrypted. The default value is "base64".

This property also applies to the "ENC" methods for creating and verifying digital signatures.

More Information and Examples
top
LastErrorHtml
LastErrorHtml: String (read-only)

Provides information in HTML format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.

top
LastErrorText
LastErrorText: String (read-only)

Provides information in plain-text format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.

top
LastErrorXml
LastErrorXml: String (read-only)

Provides information in XML format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.

top
LastMethodSuccess
LastMethodSuccess: Bool

Indicate whether the last method call succeeded or failed. A value of true indicates success, a value of false indicates failure. This property is automatically set for method calls. It is not modified by property accesses. The property is automatically set to indicate success for the following types of method calls:

  • Any method that returns a string.
  • Any method returning a Chilkat object, binary bytes, or a date/time.
  • Any method returning a standard boolean status value where success = true and failure = false.
  • Any method returning an integer where failure is defined by a return value less than zero.

Note: Methods that do not fit the above requirements will always set this property equal to true. For example, a method that returns no value (such as a "void" in C++) will technically always succeed.

top
LittleEndian
LittleEndian: Bool

The default value is false, which means that signatures and encrypted output will be created using the big endian byte ordering. A value of true will produce little-endian output, which is what Microsoft's Crypto API produces.

Important: Prior to v9.5.0.49, this property behaved the opposite as it should for encryption. When updating from an older version of Chilkat to v9.5.0.49 or greater, the following change is required:

  • If the application did NOT explicity set the LittleEndian property, then no change is required for encryption/decryption. If signatures were being created or verified, then explicitly set this property to true.
  • If the application explicitly set this property, then reverse the setting ONLY if doing encryption/decryption. No changes are required if doing signature creation/verification.

top
NoUnpad
NoUnpad: Bool

If true, skips unpadding when decrypting. The default is false. This property value is typically left unchanged.

top
NumBits
NumBits: Int (read-only)

The number of bits of the key generated or imported into this RSA encryption object. Keys ranging in size from 384 bits to 4096 bits can be generated by calling GenerateKey. A public or private key may be imported by calling ImportPublicKey or ImportPrivateKey. A key must be available either via GenerateKey or import before any of the encrypt/decrypt methods may be called.

top
OaepHash
OaepHash: String
Introduced in version 9.5.0.48

Selects the hash algorithm for use within OAEP padding. The valid choices are "sha1", "sha256", "sha384", "sha512", "md2", "md5", "haval", "ripemd128", "ripemd160","ripemd256", or "ripemd320". The default is "sha1".

top
OaepLabel
OaepLabel: String
Introduced in version 9.5.0.95

The optional RSA encryption OAEP label. This property is the hex representation of the OAEP label bytes to be used when encrypting with OAEP padding. In virtually all cases, it is left empty (the label is 0 bytes in length). Only set this property if you have a specific need. Otherwise, leave it empty.

top
OaepMgfHash
OaepMgfHash: String
Introduced in version 9.5.0.71

Selects the MGF (mask generation) hash algorithm for use within OAEP padding. The valid choices are "sha1", "sha256", "sha384", "sha512", "md2", "md5", "haval", "ripemd128", "ripemd160","ripemd256", or "ripemd320". The default is "sha1".

top
OaepPadding
OaepPadding: Bool

Controls whether Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding (OAEP) is used for the padding scheme (for encrypting/decrypting). If set to false, PKCS1 v1.5 padding is used. If set to true, PKCS1 v2.0 (OAEP) padding is used.

Important: The OAEP padding algorithm uses randomly generated bytes. Therefore, the RSA result will be different each time, even if all of the other inputs are identical. For example, if you RSA encrypt or sign the same data using the same key 100 times, the output will appear different each time, but they are all valid.

When creating digital signatures, this property controls whether RSA-PSS or PKCS1 v1.5 is used. If true, then the RSA-PSS signature scheme is used. The default value of this property is false.

More Information and Examples
top
PssSaltLen
PssSaltLen: Int
Introduced in version 9.5.0.80

Selects the PSS salt length when RSASSA-PSS padding is selected for signatures. The default value is -1 to indicate that the length of the hash function should be used. For example, if the hash function is SHA256, then the PSS salt length will be 32 bytes. Can be optionally set to a value such as 20 if a specific salt length is required. This property should normally remain at the default value.

top
VerboseLogging
VerboseLogging: Bool

If set to true, then the contents of LastErrorText (or LastErrorXml, or LastErrorHtml) may contain more verbose information. The default value is false. Verbose logging should only be used for debugging. The potentially large quantity of logged information may adversely affect peformance.

Methods

DecryptBd
DecryptBd(bd: CkoBinData, usePrivateKey: Bool) -> Bool
Introduced in version 9.5.0.76

RSA decrypts the contents of bd. usePrivateKey should be set to true if the private key is to be used for decrypting. Otherwise it should be set to false if the public key is to be used for decrypting.

Important: If trying to match OpenSSL results, set the LittleEndian property = false.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

top
DecryptBytes
DecryptBytes(bData: NSData, bUsePrivateKey: Bool) -> NSData

Decrypts byte data using the RSA encryption algorithm. usePrivateKey should be set to true if the private key is to be used for decrypting. Otherwise it should be set to false if the public key is to be used for decrypting.

Important: If trying to match OpenSSL results, set the LittleEndian property = false.

Returns nil on failure

top
DecryptBytesENC
DecryptBytesENC(str: String, bUsePrivateKey: Bool) -> NSData

Same as DecryptBytes, except the input is an encoded string. The encoding is specified by the EncodingMode property, which can have values such as "base64", "hex", "quoted-printable", "url", etc.

Important: If trying to match OpenSSL results, set the LittleEndian property = false.

Returns nil on failure

top
DecryptString
DecryptString(bData: NSData, bUsePrivateKey: Bool) -> String

Decrypts encrypted string data and returns an unencrypted string. usePrivateKey should be set to true if the private key is to be used for decrypting. Otherwise it should be set to false if the public key is to be used. The Charset property controls how the component interprets the decrypted string. Depending on the programming language, strings are returned to the application as Unicode, utf-8, or ANSI. Internal to DecryptString, the decrypted string is automatically converted from the charset specified by the Charset property to the encoding required by the calling programming language.

Important: If trying to match OpenSSL results, set the LittleEndian property = false.

Returns nil on failure

top
DecryptStringENC
DecryptStringENC(str: String, bUsePrivateKey: Bool) -> String

Same as DecryptString, except the input is an encoded string. The encoding is specified by the EncodingMode property, which can have values such as "base64", "hex", "quoted-printable", "url", etc.

Important: If trying to match OpenSSL results, set the LittleEndian property = false.

Returns nil on failure

top
EncryptBd
EncryptBd(bd: CkoBinData, usePrivateKey: Bool) -> Bool
Introduced in version 9.5.0.76

RSA encrypts the contents of bd. usePrivateKey should be set to true if the private key is to be used for encrypting. Otherwise it should be set to false if the public key is to be used for encrypting.

Important: If trying to match OpenSSL results, set the LittleEndian property = false.

Note: Except for special situations, the public key should always be used for encrypting, and the private key for decrypting. This makes sense because an encrypted message is sent to a recipient, and the recipient is the only one in possession of the private key, and therefore the only one that can decrypt and read the message.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

top
EncryptBytes
EncryptBytes(bData: NSData, bUsePrivateKey: Bool) -> NSData

Encrypts byte data using the RSA encryption algorithm. usePrivateKey should be set to true if the private key is to be used for encrypting. Otherwise it should be set to false if the public key is to be used for encrypting.

Important: If trying to match OpenSSL results, set the LittleEndian property = false.

Note: Except for special situations, the public key should always be used for encrypting, and the private key for decrypting. This makes sense because an encrypted message is sent to a recipient, and the recipient is the only one in possession of the private key, and therefore the only one that can decrypt and read the message.

Returns nil on failure

top
EncryptBytesENC
EncryptBytesENC(bData: NSData, bUsePrivateKey: Bool) -> String

Same as EncryptBytes, except the output is an encoded string. The encoding is specified by the EncodingMode property, which can have values such as "base64", "hex", "quoted-printable", "url", etc.

Important: If trying to match OpenSSL results, set the LittleEndian property = false.

Note: Except for special situations, the public key should always be used for encrypting, and the private key for decrypting.

The string is first converted (if necessary) to the character encoding specified by the Charset property before encrypting. The encrypted bytes are returned.

Important: If trying to match OpenSSL results, set the LittleEndian property = false.

Note: Except for special situations, the public key should always be used for encrypting, and the private key for decrypting. This makes sense because an encrypted message is sent to a recipient, and the recipient is the only one in possession of the private key, and therefore the only one that can decrypt and read the message.

Returns nil on failure

top
ExportPrivateKeyObj
ExportPrivateKeyObj() -> CkoPrivateKey
Introduced in version 9.5.0.40

Returns nil on failure

More Information and Examples
top
GenerateKey
GenerateKey(numBits: Int) -> Bool

Generates a new RSA public/private key pair. The number of bits can range from 512 to 8192. Typical key lengths are 1024, 2048, or 4096 bits. After successful generation, the public/private parts of the key can be exported to XML via the ExportPrivateKey and ExportPublicKey methods.

Note: Prior to version 9.5.0.49, the max key size was 4096 bits. Generating an 8192-bit RSA key takes a considerable amount of time and CPU processing power. There are no event callbacks or progress monitoring for RSA key generation. Calling this will block the thread until it returns.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

ImportPrivateKey
ImportPrivateKey(strXml: String) -> Bool

Imports a private key from XML format. After successful import, the private key can be used to encrypt or decrypt. A private key (by definition) contains both private and public parts. This is because the public key consist of modulus and exponent. The private key consists of modulus, exponent, P, Q, DP, DQ, InverseQ, and D using base64 representation:

<RSAKeyValue>
  <Modulus>...</Modulus>
  <Exponent>...</Exponent>
  <P>...</P>
  <Q>...</Q>
  <DP>...</DP>
  <DQ>...</DQ>
  <InverseQ>...</InverseQ>
  <D>...</D>
</RSAKeyValue>

Important: The Rsa object can contain either a private key or a public key, but not both. Importing a private key overwrites the existing key regardless of whether the type of key is public or private.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

top
ImportPrivateKeyObj
ImportPrivateKeyObj(key: CkoPrivateKey) -> Bool
Introduced in version 9.5.0.40

Imports a private key from a private key object. The imported private key is used in methods that sign or decrypt.

Note: Importing a public key overwrites the key that is currently contained in this object - even if it's a private key.

A public key consists of modulus and exponent using base64 representation:

<RSAPublicKey>
  <Modulus>...</Modulus>
  <Exponent>...</Exponent>
</RSAPublicKey>

Important: The Rsa object can contain either a private key or a public key, but not both. Importing a private key overwrites the existing key regardless of whether the type of key is public or private.

Returns true for success, false for failure.
