help making private key base 64 when generating priv key
Hi,
I want to provide a program that will generate a certificate request (CSR) and a private key, without using a java keystore. I was able to generate the CSR fine and persisted the CSR in base64 format to a file. But I'm having trouble generating the private key and having it store in a base 64 format. When I generate the private key it never prompt me for a password, so I assume my code below doesn't have a passwd on the private key? Any help of storing the private key encoded base64 is appreciated!
public static void generatePKCS10() throws Exception {
// generate PKCS10 certificate request
KeyPairGenerator keyGen = KeyPairGenerator.getInstance("RSA");
String sigAlg = "MD5WithRSA";
// generate private key - use java.util.SecureRandom for entropy
keyGen.initialize(1024, new SecureRandom());
KeyPair keypair = keyGen.generateKeyPair();
PublicKey publicKey = keypair.getPublic();
PrivateKey privateKey = keypair.getPrivate();
//Saving private key to a file; private key format is wrong not base 64
File file = new File("c:\\testkey.pem");
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(file);
PrintStream pstream = new PrintStream(fos);
pstream.print(privateKey);
PKCS10 pkcs10 = new PKCS10(publicKey);
Signature signature = Signature.getInstance(sigAlg);
signature.initSign(privateKey);
//common, orgUnit, org, locality, state, country
X500Name x500Name = new X500Name(
"Joe",// CN
"Development",// OU
"Test",// O
"Berkeley",// L
"CA",// S
"US");// C
pkcs10.encodeAndSign(new X500Signer(signature, x500Name));
/* save the csr key in a file */
File f = new File("c:\\testcsr.pem");
FileOutputStream keyfos = new FileOutputStream(f);
PrintStream ps = new PrintStream(keyfos);
pkcs10.print(ps);
keyfos.close();
pkcs10.print(System.out);
}
The content of the testkey.pem (private key) below, I want it to be base 64:
