PHP 8.3.4 Released!

openssl_pkey_export

(PHP 4 >= 4.2.0, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

openssl_pkey_exportGets an exportable representation of a key into a string

Descrição

openssl_pkey_export(
    OpenSSLAsymmetricKey|OpenSSLCertificate|array|string $key,
    string &$output,
    ?string $passphrase = null,
    ?array $options = null
): bool

openssl_pkey_export() exports key as a PEM encoded string and stores it into output (which is passed by reference).

Nota: É preciso ter um arquivo openssl.cnf válido instalado para que esta função funcione corretamente. Consulte as notas na seção de instalação para obter mais informações.

Parâmetros

key

output

passphrase

The key is optionally protected by passphrase.

options

options can be used to fine-tune the export process by specifying and/or overriding options for the openssl configuration file. See openssl_csr_new() for more information about options.

Valor Retornado

Retorna true em caso de sucesso ou false em caso de falha.

Registro de Alterações

Versão Descrição
8.0.0 key accepts an OpenSSLAsymmetricKey or OpenSSLCertificate instance now; previously, a resource of type OpenSSL key or OpenSSL X.509 was accepted.

Please take note that older versions of PHP/OpenSSL exports the RSA private key with '-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----' PEM tag, which includes just the privateKey field, thus omitting the version and privateKeyAlgorithm fields.

The effect of that would be that if you're converting it to DER, and then back to PEM, but using '-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----' PEM tag, that the openssl_pkey_get_privatekey() function will fail!

Senthryl's code can be used to prefix the PEM encoded data with the version and privateKeyAlgorithm fields again.

The newer PHP/OpenSSL versions exports the RSA private key with '-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----' PEM tag, which includes the version and privateKeyAlgorithm fields.

I noticed these differences between my two servers:
PHP Version 5.3.3 (OpenSSL 1.0.0a-fips 1 Jun 2010) on Fedora Core 12 x64
PHP Version 5.2.9 (OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007) on Fedora Core 10 x64

I kept banging my head against the wall today trying to figure out why the RSA keys I was generating were encrypted (they have this stuff in them)
Proc-Type: 4,ENCRYPTED
DEK-Info: DES-EDE3-CBC,BEA1180EADE1524F

I finally realized that the issue was that I was passing a password into the "openssl_pkey_export" method inadvertently.

So the moral of the story is: you have to use NULL as the password. using an empty string will still cause the key to be encrypted.

Warning, this function is NOT capable of exporting PEM-encoded public keys. It can only export private keys.

This function can be used to create a private key for use by JCE in Java. For example, a private key could be generated by a PHP script and the result could be used in a Java client application.

Java requires the private key in DER format with some extra ASN.1 wrapping. The function below can be used to convert the output of openssl_pkey_export into a format suitable for input into JCE:

<?php
function derLength($length) {
if (
$length < 128) return str_pad(dechex($length), 2, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT);
$output = dechex($length);
if (
strlen($output) % 2 != 0) $output = '0'.$output;
return
dechex(128 + strlen($output)/2) . $output;
}
function
convertPemToDer($pem) {
$matches = array();
if (!
preg_match('~^-----BEGIN ([A-Z ]+)-----\s*?([A-Za-z0-9+=/\r\n]+)\s*?-----END \1-----\s*$~D', $pem, $matches)) {
die(
'Invalid PEM format encountered.'."\n");
}
$derData = base64_decode(str_replace(array("\r", "\n"), array('', ''), $matches[2]));
$derData = pack('H*', '020100300d06092a864886f70d010101050004'.derLength(strlen($derData))) . $derData;
$derData = pack('H*', '30'.derLength(strlen($derData))) . $derData;
return
$derData;
}
?>

Example use:
<?php
$keys
= openssl_pkey_new(array('digest_alg' => 'sha1', 'private_key_type' => OPENSSL_KEYTYPE_RSA, 'private_key_bits' => 2048));
if (
$keys === false) die('Failed to generate key pair.'."\n");
if (!
openssl_pkey_export($keys, $privateKey)) die('Failed to retrieve private key.'."\n");
$javaKey = convertPemToDer($privateKey);

file_put_contents('key_for_java.der', $javaKey);
?>

Exporting a public key for use with JCE is trickier, since the Java libraries require the key to be input as a byte array. In effect, the public key outputted by openssl_pkey_get_details() must be base64 decoded as above, and then parsed as ASN.1 to receive the actual key bytes (this can be done either on the PHP side or the Java side).

The following link is an invaluable resource to understanding the output from these functions:

Complete example to encrypt data...
=)
<pre>
<?php
// Create the keypair
$res=openssl_pkey_new();

// Get private key
openssl_pkey_export($res, $privkey, "PassPhrase number 1" );

// Get public key
$pubkey=openssl_pkey_get_details($res);
$pubkey=$pubkey["key"];
//var_dump($privkey);
//var_dump($pubkey);

// Create the keypair
$res2=openssl_pkey_new();

// Get private key
openssl_pkey_export($res2, $privkey2, "This is a passPhrase *µà" );

// Get public key
$pubkey2=openssl_pkey_get_details($res2);
$pubkey2=$pubkey2["key"];
var_dump($privkey2);
var_dump($pubkey2);

$data = "Only I know the purple fox. Trala la !";

openssl_seal($data, $sealed, $ekeys, array($pubkey, $pubkey2));

var_dump("sealed");
var_dump(base64_encode($sealed));
var_dump(base64_encode($ekeys[0]));
var_dump(base64_encode($ekeys[1]));

// decrypt the data and store it in $open
if (openssl_open($sealed, $open, $ekeys[1], openssl_pkey_get_private ($privkey2 ,"This is a passPhrase *µà" ) ) ) {
echo
"here is the opened data: ", $open;
} else {
echo
"failed to open data";
}

?>
</pre>

you can get public key using openssl_pkey_get_details(resource $key ) function:

<?php

$pub_key
= openssl_pkey_get_public(file_get_contents('./cert.crt'));
$keyData = openssl_pkey_get_details($pub_key);
fule_put_contents('./key.pub', $keyData['key']);

?>
