Getting RSA private key from PEM BASE64 Encoded private key file
You've just published that private key, so now the whole world knows what it is. Hopefully that was just for testing.
EDIT: Others have noted that the openssl text header of the published key, -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----, indicates that it is PKCS#1. However, the actual Base64 contents of the key in question is PKCS#8. Evidently the OP copy and pasted the header and trailer of a PKCS#1 key onto the PKCS#8 key for some unknown reason. The sample code I've provided below works with PKCS#8 private keys.
Here is some code that will create the private key from that data. You'll have to replace the Base64 decoding with your IBM Base64 decoder.
public class RSAToy {
private static final String BEGIN_RSA_PRIVATE_KEY = "-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----\n"
+ "MIIEuwIBADAN ...skipped the rest\n"
// + ...
// + ... skipped the rest
// + ...
+ "-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----";
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
// Remove the first and last lines
String privKeyPEM = BEGIN_RSA_PRIVATE_KEY.replace("-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----\n", "");
privKeyPEM = privKeyPEM.replace("-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----", "");
System.out.println(privKeyPEM);
// Base64 decode the data
byte [] encoded = Base64.decode(privKeyPEM);
// PKCS8 decode the encoded RSA private key
PKCS8EncodedKeySpec keySpec = new PKCS8EncodedKeySpec(encoded);
KeyFactory kf = KeyFactory.getInstance("RSA");
PrivateKey privKey = kf.generatePrivate(keySpec);
// Display the results
System.out.println(privKey);
}
}
This is PKCS#1 format of a private key. Try this code. It doesn't use Bouncy Castle or other third-party crypto providers. Just java.security and sun.security for DER sequece parsing. Also it supports parsing of a private key in PKCS#8 format (PEM file that has a header "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----").
