I'm using java.security.KeyPairGenerator to gen an RSA key pair, and then try to load the private key via the KeyPair class provided in Jsch(0.1.49). The code:
public static void main(String[] args) { String header = "-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----"; String footer = "-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----"; KeyPairGenerator keyPairGenerator; try { keyPairGenerator = KeyPairGenerator.getInstance("RSA"); keyPairGenerator.initialize(2048, new SecureRandom()); PrivateKey privateKey = keyPairGenerator.genKeyPair().getPrivate(); String key = new String(Base64.encodeBase64(privateKey.getEncoded())); StringBuffer pem = new StringBuffer(header+"\n"); int len=key.length(); for( int idx=0 ; idx < len ; idx+= 64 ) pem.append(key.substring(idx, (idx+64)<len?(idx+64):len)+"\n"); pem.append(footer); String privateKeyStr = pem.toString(); System.out.println(privateKeyStr); com.jcraft.jsch.KeyPair.load(null, privateKeyStr.getBytes(), null); } catch (JSchException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e1) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e1.printStackTrace(); } }
The output by System.out:
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- MIIEvAIBADANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAASCBKYwggSiAgEAAoIBAQCABIDFa/cp23OH PZwpnBme3mvVun8ErtTpMtjCHBKbFyiVKI84e1sZt6BosIiXVbhJ3wsG+tmcJAVK +rVRqSHUjPh9lHSI+4QQNvWIQC+v6zPyLKVRo47VK6dKTIZrsfA/A/+3hk/GrNx8 gbx9yENZ6WLg7GQ0mUwdV+kDwudll5sXjL7PHMIkVuxDOFv1cXXYmPuCtnFKvn/X 5XnD6fV8IOgLbwXTNzUxLdfnBn90PFYbRRUJVwIXzqSVJb3EXsEL6WAl2KdQ2BPS UEv7jEw2Ja+fztUZUjqxWcrckq3rKUeHn3ykhTlq0+Iqg5sbgqz2zYt+6Zq4w42E XrCqGlmVAgMBAAECggEAYLcGMiBnEpBgr4O0PxtXn9aZ0VacL4WGBMgNSli7FcBh QI7r5NgM81jvLyhviSWRnP2M7zEExhnQhdzyr0b/7/ywnu9RO0wJcdaTmOQlItqm 3Acuvoa6mgHo2REHXMWJo5H510T5cDeYO9gn9z8c4wiXUyZEbhiCkIih2d2dw/mv SBwfwOQN/3JXNBlW5c012usG6MLKvbOAYhqLfzq89ZqKJnrRW58Y6m+qb91fx5tt DKrqVEXPBLcC0faXK+iMINGIbXqv8l1hd69f/SzSveI49yMgJBPCS5mtckcJqCm7 oxMafu3zGhaR7TYUM6CaqP3Sk2nLv6Sy9vNsFt4eAQKBgQD1TM/2nMV2HhVOl6Gm hqCSGCxb6M+bv92tlkvuijpU0Bx5JjHTQ/dk8+0L0h/x+jPMo1+yrYyXNmE4kzyY 2s4jcDcBch5d8bSKksPv29sKYkMhEv0O31fcGVFhOyHvBm92EtA+l2vDVn0WSo7r SAjsD3QSAdEr/pOqrUjInJfvMQKBgQCFmgjkVuMHgg5fjM+xQnPtLpJBRbe+gBdj 09jCj5D0mN5WpqvjO2cV40i2vYqaWz3/BgWcmlT4Crf2MtYxmR0rWsSQQsnk34EU vej5kmkT8Pq4HRMskH2f/kNu55yHjY4TvMn13Gl9UWIb+g5oYdMbpb6B9jol9gm8 Op1wiopfpQKBgAbTvHYApv5CmBU34yffV1i5k4J7WEvday4JoNNixXzWzfQRPBHF Mn18zHwnvPvfGtH3OhKfAeqzeME6V9VpQZN67Az+QBodQAkbTJjAZbhEQ9oHzUM8 tBVMHxe1rZwZccC3hVQ4oqctIQ4dxRyHRLhNNc3KfyfaTgHSENSEhzYBAoGAS4j8 MAVD1JHeiH03S9PzcQzcmdTN/wGyt7klm1LKNNBdHIadNhr2vHRFPzRIsd6WXaJM 9+51zctZmPPDEEWuLT3jVmC8fw8yjsSUfM4fZKvhRMkDdzW2IQgDnieK40TQKC6b zMqyRa0GmCS3kqKEVeROonHRDHdfp7FIJEHf3BUCgYAjzIH744n31iTa/WhLXoIx tR8rvTgdW6tn0YKGKy2RvgkABdDdjFc1oGBOSgNRopn1mL7cVtScMOenPTqKCEgO yzVVOgE0ON1YmF/t3phOcJYIC9dy1CMHOjnG3deWxu2z3NAidF2TcAf8G/LtKOY2 t6uWCaHlDg2r/WDkbpxsgA== -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
Then I see exceptions from KeyPair saying it's an invalid private key, I checked the source code of JSch, the exception is due to an indexoutofbounds while the data's being parsed. The stacktrace:
com.jcraft.jsch.JSchException: invalid privatekey: [B@5f2e5f2e at com.jcraft.jsch.KeyPair.load(KeyPair.java:809) at com.ibm.maestro.common.utils.Test.main(Test.java:149)
I'm guessing I can fix this issue by adding/changing some parms while generating the key pair, any clue? Your help will be highly appreciated!
