OpenSSL: Tanda Tangan Digital Document
Sumber: https://sandilands.info/sgordon/public-key-encryption-and-digital-signatures-using-openssl
Public Key Encryption and Digital Signatures using OpenSSL I recently gave students a homework task to get familiar with OpenSSL as well as understand the use of public/private keys in public key cryptography (last year I gave same different tasks using certificates - see the steps. The tasks for the student (sender in the notes below) were to:
- Create a RSA public/private key pair
- View and understand the parameters in the key pair
- Sign a message using their private key
- Encrypt a message using the recipients (my) public key
- "Send" the signature and ciphertext to the recipient (me)Then I decrypted the ciphertext and verified the signature. Of course I also had to create my own key pair and make the public key available to the sender.
The steps are shown below, first in a screencast where I provide some explanation of the options and steps, and second in text form (with little explanation) that you can view and copy and paste if needed. Note that although the steps used in both outputs are the same, the actual values differ (i.e. the output listed below is from a different set of keys than used in the screencast).
Steps Performed by Sender
To generate the private (and public key):
$ openssl genpkey -algorithm RSA -pkeyopt rsa_keygen_bits:2048 -pkeyopt rsa_keygen_pubexp:3 -out privkey-ID.pem $ cat privkey-ID.pem

Exponent: 3 (0x3) Create a text file:
$ cat message-ID.txt This is my example message. To sign the message you need to calculate its hash and then encrypt that hash using your private key. To create a hash of a message (without encrypting):
$ openssl dgst -sha1 message-ID.txt SHA1(message-ID.txt)= 064774b2fb550d8c1d7d39fa5ac5685e2f8b1ca6 OpenSSL has an option to calculate the hash and then sign it:
$ openssl dgst -sha1 -sign privkey-ID.pem -out sign-ID.bin message-ID.txt $ ls -l total 16 -rw-r--r-- 1 sgordon users 28 2012-03-04 15:14 message-ID.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 sgordon users 1704 2012-03-04 14:58 privkey-ID.pem -rw-r--r-- 1 sgordon users 451 2012-03-04 15:08 pubkey-ID.pem -rw-r--r-- 1 sgordon users 256 2012-03-04 15:20 sign-ID.bin To encrypt the message using RSA, use the recipients public key:
$ openssl pkeyutl -encrypt -in message.txt -pubin -inkey pubkey-Steve.pem -out ciphertext-ID.bin Note that direct RSA encryption should only be used on small files, with length less than the length of the key. If you want to encrypt large files then use symmetric key encryption. Two approaches to do this with OpenSSL: (1) generate a random key to be used with a symmetric cipher to encrypt the message and then encrypt the key with RSA; (2) use the smime operation, which combines RSA and a symmetric cipher to automate approach 1.
Steps Performed by Receiver The public key was generated and made available to the sender:
$ openssl genpkey -algorithm RSA -pkeyopt rsa_keygen_bits:2048 -pkeyopt rsa_keygen_pubexp:3 -out privkey-ID.pem $ openssl pkey -in privkey-Steve.pem -out pubkey-Steve.pem -pubout To decrypt the received ciphertext:
$ openssl pkeyutl -decrypt -in ciphertext-ID.bin -inkey privkey-Steve.pem -out received-ID.txt $ cat received-ID.txt This is my example message. To verify the signature of a message:
$ openssl dgst -sha1 -verify pubkey-ID.pem -signature sign-ID.bin received-ID.txt Verified OK PDF version of this page, 7 Apr 2012
