Iphone - How to encrypt NSData with public key and decrypt with private key?
I have tried RSA Encryption and Decryption for NSString and you may well modify it and make it work for NSData
Add Security.Framework to your project bundle.
ViewController.h code is as follows:
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <Security/Security.h>
@interface ViewController : UIViewController
{
SecKeyRef publicKey;
SecKeyRef privateKey;
NSData *publicTag;
NSData *privateTag;
}
- (void)encryptWithPublicKey:(uint8_t *)plainBuffer cipherBuffer:(uint8_t *)cipherBuffer;
- (void)decryptWithPrivateKey:(uint8_t *)cipherBuffer plainBuffer:(uint8_t *)plainBuffer;
- (SecKeyRef)getPublicKeyRef;
- (SecKeyRef)getPrivateKeyRef;
- (void)testAsymmetricEncryptionAndDecryption;
- (void)generateKeyPair:(NSUInteger)keySize;
@end
ViewController.m file code is as follows:
#import "ViewController.h"
const size_t BUFFER_SIZE = 64;
const size_t CIPHER_BUFFER_SIZE = 1024;
const uint32_t PADDING = kSecPaddingNone;
static const UInt8 publicKeyIdentifier[] = "com.apple.sample.publickey";
static const UInt8 privateKeyIdentifier[] = "com.apple.sample.privatekey";

You can use the following code:

NSData *plainData = [encryptedData AES256DecryptWithKey:/*your enc key*/];
UIImage *img =[UIImage imageWithData:plainData];
