I could susscessfuly genearte pkcs7 signature using PEM(private key)file in Openssl.
But, how do I convert a RAWsignature generated using security.framework to pkcs7 using Openssl.
Edit:
load data > load PEM(private key)file > generate pkcs7 data using Openssl ....this is successfull
but
Load private key (SecKeyRef) from keychian > (how to pass this key to OPenssl to generate Pkcs7)?
IOS doesnt have feature to generate PKCS#7 Signature. We have to use OpenSSL with no other Alternative I suppose.
And IOS protects the keys using KEYCHAIN it provides. So the SecKeyRef is only a readable and not transferable. Better dont ever try to write to some file or transport it.
IOS features can generate only PKCS#1 Singnatures.
And if the RAWSignature is genereated using a PKCS#12 file, PKCS#7 singature can be generated out of it, using Bouncy Castle...server side....
did it... and it works... :)

I am using p256 keys to generate key pair and then SecKeyCreateEncryptedData to encrypt with public key and SecKeyCreateDecryptedData to decrypt with private key. The encryption was successful and able to transfer encrypted data in base64 format to other devices and then while decrypting truncatedASN1Field this error occurs. Please let me know how I can solve this.
This is the link to code snippet https://swiftfiddle.com/6nx5itskhfg5jbtywruoj64kpm
it works when I am using in the same PC but its not working when I am using different ipads to encrypt and decrypt.
I am generating RSA signature using RSA_PKCS1_PSS_PADDING. I am setting digest algorithm as SHA256 using EVP_get_digestbyname() and EVP_DigestSignInit(). And salt length parameter as -1 using EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_pss_saltlen().
I have EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD and EVP_PKEY_CTX structures used for signature generation.
How can I get the name of Mask generation algorithm name used by OpenSSL by default? Is there any API provided for getting it?
Edit: OpenSSL version used: 1.1.0g.
RSASSA-PSS is in practice always used with MGF1 as the Mask Generation Function. The only variation is which Message Digest is used internally by MGF1.
Sometime that's the same Message Digest as the one used for hashing the message and building the tag in PSS, because that makes the most sense. Other times it is SHA-1 because that used to be the default MD for early RSASSA-PSS APIs, thus for the associated MGF1.
In an ideal world, some attribute (in the signature, or/and in the public key certificate used to check the signature) would tell MGF1-with-such-MD, perhaps by way of some Object IDentifier like we have to specify PSS. But crypto APIs are hell.
In order to control what Message Digest is used by MGF1, we want something on the tune of what -sigopt rsa_mgf1_md:sha256 does in the openssl dgst command.
My best guess is to set the MGF1 digest using
assert(EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_mgf1_md(ctx, EVP_sha256)>=0);
or get it using EVP_PKEY_CTX_get_rsa_mgf1_md() as documented:
The EVP_PKEY_CTX_get_rsa_mgf1_md() macro gets the MGF1 digest for ctx. If not explicitly set the signing digest is used. The padding mode must have been set to RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING or RSA_PKCS1_PSS_PADDING.
I need to write a method in Swift which uses a particular PRIVATE KEY to encrypt a timestamp using RSA. This is NOT used for authentication (rather it validates the client app to the server), I know that you would normally encrypt with a public key to ensure security.
I have a key:
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
MIICXAIBAAKBgQDIg+wteSjhalc1hSHEiUnz9X1pkrObCjaXMHqeSdfFQ/h5Q1Uh
...
o7wjoqFNxFnQMAYvkLzQZ7Y2jjfSJkaTVnhzJIZOfQ0=
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
And I need to encrypt a string using this particular key. I have written the Android application version of this app, but if I need to re-generate the keys specifically for iOS it's not a problem, but I would need this file for the Android version as well.
I have looked at the following web sites:
http://jslim.net/blog/2013/01/05/rsa-encryption-in-ios-and-decrypt-it-using-php/ Seems useful but it insists that the key be in a .der format - plus it's in Objective-C. Is it possible to generate a Key pair in both DER and PEM format, or convert between the two (using something like https://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-converter.html)?
https://github.com/henrinormak/Heimdall - but you cannot import a custom private key
https://github.com/ideawu/Objective-C-RSA/blob/master/RSA.m - seems long winded and is also in objective-c
One requirement is that all apps use the SAME key - it cannot be generated by each installation of the app. Also my Android app must be able to use the key as well (I am open to rethinking the Android version as leaving the key as a RAW file is not preferred for me).
Any help will be appreciated.

How to encrypt a string with private key and decrypt with public key?
Using RSA public key to encrypt a string
Can anyone help with the code how to decrypt with private key ,As in server side they are using OAEP encryption method .I tried decrypting using private key but the decrypted text is Null,I am getting the Error code as -9809 as decryption code result
When you say "with a private key" I assume you mean you're using SecKeyDecrypt() for asymmetric encryption rather than CommonCryptor for symmetric encryption.
SecKeyDecrypt() does not support OAEP. It only supports PKCS1 v1.5 padding (kSecPaddingPKCS1). It can also technically handle ASN.1 padding + PKCS1 padding, but this isn't usually relevant to decryption. You should have noticed this when you passed the SecPadding parameter. What did you pass?
That error number is errSSLCrypto which is a generic "something went wrong in crypto" message.
I have a Public Key generated in JAVA.
I want to use this key and crypt the data using RSA and send it to the server.
How can I do that using the iPhone SDK?
Thanks
Unfortunately, iOS has no public APIs to deal with raw RSA keys.
There are two things you can do:
1) Instead of giving your app a Public Key, give your app a certificate instead. You can import the certificate with SecCertificateCreateWithData. Then create a trust with SecTrustCreateWithCertificates. Once you have the trust, you can extract the public key with SecTrustCopyPublicKey.
2) The other option is to include OpenSSL in your project. It has all the APIs you need, you can google for example code on how to work with RSA keys. This might be the simpler solution.
I have made available a script to easily build OpenSSL from source. You can grab it from:

If your public key is in modulus/exponent form, this question may help: Convert XML Dsig format to DER ASN.1 public key
I figured out how to binary-encode the modulus and exponent into the DER ASN.1 format that the SecKeyWrapper class of Apple's CryptoExercise project uses to import an external key.
