Part 2 Pairing Method And Key Generation

Key generation is the process of generating keys for cryptography. The key is used to encrypt and decrypt data whatever the data is being encrypted or decrypted.

Modern cryptographic systems include symmetric-key algorithms (such as DES and AES) and public-key algorithms (such as RSA). Symmetric-key algorithms use a single shared key; keeping data secret requires keeping this key secret. Public-key algorithms use a public key and a private key. The public key is made available to anyone (often by means of a digital certificate). A sender will encrypt data with the public key; only the holder of the private key can decrypt this data.

Nov 02, 2013  A Certificate Signing request (CSR) is a chunk of text which is encrypted and generated on the server that the certificate will be used on. Also See: Part 1: SSL Certificate. Now this is our solution. First Alice and Bob agree publicly on a prime modulus and a generator, in this case 17 and 3. Then Alice selects a private random number, say 15, and calculates three to the power 15 mod 17 and sends this result publicly to Bob. You have all your characteristics protected by GATTPERMITAUTHENREAD/WRITE but a just works pairing is not enough security to provide Authentication. Please view BLE Spec 4.2 Vol 3 Part H Section 2.3.5.1 Selecting Key Generation Method to look at what various levels of IO Cap between the initiator and the responder give an Authenticated session.

Since public-key algorithms tend to be much slower than symmetric-key algorithms, modern systems such as TLS and its predecessor SSL as well as the SSH use a combination of the two in which:

  1. One party receives the other's public key, and encrypts a small piece of data (either a symmetric key or some data that will be used to generate it).
  2. The remainder of the conversation (the remaining party) uses a (typically faster) symmetric-key algorithm for encryption.

The simplest method to read encrypted data is a brute force attack–simply attempting every number, up to the maximum length of the key. Therefore, it is important to use a sufficiently long key length; longer keys take exponentially longer time to attack, making a brute force attack invisible and impractical.

Currently, commonly used key lengths are:

  1. 128-bits for symmetric key algorithms.
  2. 1024-bits for public-key algorithms.

Key generation algorithms[changechange source]

In computer cryptography keys are integers. In some cases keys are randomly generated using a random number generator (RNG) or pseudorandom number generator (PRNG), the latter being a computeralgorithm that produces data which appears random under analysis. Some types the PRNGs algorithms utilize system entropy to generate a seed data, such seeds produce better results, since this makes the initial conditions of the PRNG much more difficult for an attacker to guess.

In other situations, the key is created using a passphrase and a key generation algorithm, using a cryptographic hash function such as SHA-1.

  • Distributed key generation: For some protocols no party should be in the sole possession of the secret key. Rather, during distributed key generation every party obtains a share of the key. A threshold of the participating parties need to work together in order to achieve a cryptographic task, such as decrypting a message.

∟Private key and Public Key Pair Generation

This chapter provides tutorial notes and example codes on private key and public key pair generation. Topics include public key encryption algorithms, RSA, DSA and DiffieHellman; private key and public key pair generation class and sample program; RSA, DSA, and DiffieHellman key pair samples.

Conclusion:

  • JDK supports 3 algorithms to generate private and public pairs: RSA, DSA, and DiffieHellman.
  • JDK allows you to store private keys in files with PKCS#8 encoded format.
  • JDK allows you to store public keys in files with X.509 encoded format.

Sample programs listed in this chapter have been tested with JDK 12.

Question: Key pairs are used to encrypt and decrypt data. But how to encrypt and decrypt data? Which classes and methods to use?
