I think it is a right place to ask my query and i also hope that many of you
here will have much experience with M2Crypto. Anyways my problem goes like
this...
I wrote the following code for signing and verifying some message using
Public-Private Key Encyption but it has a problem. It is giving me a 'Bad
Signature' error at line 27. I don't know what am i doing wrong as to me the
signature is fine. If any geek can help me out, i will really be glad.
1. import M2Crypto,sha
2. from M2Crypto import X509, BIO, RSA ,EVP, util
3. #Opening file named newcert.pem in which certificate generated via
openssl command is placedu
4. infile = open('/home/usman/newcert.pem', "r+")
5. if infile:
6. string = infile.read()
7. infile.close()
8. #For calculating the hash of some arbitrary message
9. sha1 = sha.new()
10. sha1.update("some message")
11. #Loading user-certificate from the buffer
12. user_cert = X509.load_cert_bio(BIO.MemoryBuffer(string))
13. print user_cert
14. #Getting public-key
15. user_pub_key = user_cert.get_pubkey()
16. print user_pub_key
17. user_pub_rsa = EVP.PKey.get_rsa(user_pub_key)
18. print "Public Key: ", user_pub_rsa
19. #Getting private-key
20. key_bio = BIO.MemoryBuffer(string)
21. certif_priv_rsa = RSA.load_key_bio(key_bio,util.passphrase_callback)
22. print "Private Key: ", certif_priv_rsa
23. #signing the hash of 'some message' with the private key
24. signature = RSA.RSA.sign(certif_priv_rsa,sha1.digest(),algo='sha1')
25. try:
26. #Verifying the signature
27. print RSA.RSA.verify(user_pub_rsa,"some message",signature,algo=
'sha1')
28. except:
29. raise
