javacard.security
Interface RSAPublicKey

All Superinterfaces:
Key, PublicKey
All Known Implementing Classes:
RSAKeyImpl, RSAPrivateCrtKeyImpl
public interface RSAPublicKey
extends PublicKey

The RSAPublicKey is used to verify signatures on signed data using the RSA algorithm. It may also used by the javacardx.crypto.Cipher class to encrypt/decrypt messages.

When both the modulus and exponent of the key are set, the key is initialized and ready for use.

Method Detail

getExponent

short getExponent(byte[] buffer,
                  short offset)
                  throws CryptoException
Returns the public exponent value of the key in plain text. The data format is big-endian and right-aligned (the least significant bit is the least significant bit of last byte).

Parameters:
buffer - the output buffer
offset - the offset into the input buffer at which the modulus value starts
Returns:
the byte length of the public exponent returned
Throws:
CryptoException - with the following reason code:
  • CryptoException.UNINITIALIZED_KEY if the public exponent value of the key has not been successfully initialized since the time the initialized state of the key was set to false.

getModulus

short getModulus(byte[] buffer,
                 short offset)
                 throws CryptoException
Returns the modulus value of the key in plain text. The data format is big-endian and right-aligned (the least significant bit is the least significant bit of last byte).

Parameters:
buffer - the output buffer
offset - the offset into the input buffer at which the modulus value starts
Returns:
the byte length of the modulus value returned
Throws:
CryptoException - with the following reason code:
  • CryptoException.UNINITIALIZED_KEY if the modulus value of the key has not been successfully initialized since the time the initialized state of the key was set to false.

setExponent

void setExponent(byte[] buffer,
                 short offset,
                 short length)
                 throws CryptoException
Sets the public exponent value of the key. The plaintext data format is big-endian and right-aligned (the least significant bit is the least significant bit of last byte). Input exponent data is copied into the internal representation.

Note:

  • If the key object implements the javacardx.crypto.KeyEncryption interface and the Cipher object specified via setKeyCipher() is not null, the exponent value is decrypted using the Cipher object.

Parameters:
buffer - the input buffer
offset - the offset into the input buffer at which the modulus value begins
length - the byte length of the modulus
Throws:
CryptoException - with the following reason code:
  • CryptoException.ILLEGAL_VALUE if the input exponent data length is inconsistent with the implementation or if input data decryption is required and fails.

setModulus

void setModulus(byte[] buffer,
                short offset,
                short length)
                throws CryptoException
Sets the modulus value of the key. The plaintext data format is big-endian and right-aligned (the least significant bit is the least significant bit of last byte). Input modulus data is copied into the internal representation.

Note:

  • If the key object implements the javacardx.crypto.KeyEncryption interface and the Cipher object specified via setKeyCipher() is not null, the modulus value is decrypted using the Cipher object.

Parameters:
buffer - the input buffer
offset - the offset into the input buffer at which the modulus value begins
length - the byte length of the modulus
Throws:
CryptoException - with the following reason code:
  • CryptoException.ILLEGAL_VALUE if the input modulus data length is inconsistent with the implementation or if input data decryption is required and fails.
