Private Key Blob Format
Private key blobs (type PRIVATEKEYBLOB) are used to store RSA public/private
key pairs. They have the following format:
BLOBHEADER blobheader;
RSAPUBKEY rsapubkey;
BYTE modulus[rsapubkey.bitlen/8];
BYTE prime1[rsapubkey.bitlen/16];
BYTE prime2[rsapubkey.bitlen/16];
BYTE exponent1[rsapubkey.bitlen/16];
BYTE exponent2[rsapubkey.bitlen/16];
BYTE coefficient[rsapubkey.bitlen/16];
BYTE privateExponent[rsapubkey.bitlen/8];
If the key blob is encrypted, then everything but the BLOBHEADER portion of the blob is encrypted. Note that the encryption algorithm and
encryption key parameters are not stored along with the private key blob. It is the
responsibility of the application to manage this information.
The following table describes each private key blob component. Note that these
fields largely correspond to the ones described in section 7.2 of PKCS #1: RSA Encryption Standard.
Field
| Description
| blobheader
| A BLOBHEADER structure as described in a previous section. The bType field must always have a value of PRIVATEKEYBLOB.
| rsapubkey
| A RSAPUBKEY structure as described in a previous section. The magic field must always have a value of 0x32415352 ("RSA2").
| modulus
| The modulus. This has a value of "prime1 * prime2" and is often known as "n".
| prime1
| Prime number 1, often known as "p".
| prime2
| Prime number 2, often known as "q".
| exponent1
| Exponent 1. This has a numeric value of "d mod (p - 1)".
| exponent2
| Exponent 2. This has a numeric value of "d mod (q - 1)".
| coefficient
| Coefficient. This has a numeric value of "(inverse of q) mod p".
| privateExponent
| Private exponent, often known as "d".

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
