The PGPKeyRingGenerator constructor takes in a passphrase to encrypt the private key. What is the algorithm that it uses to do this? It has a field called encAlgorithm, but I couldn't find any documentation explaining what these algorithms are. ...
Probably somebody asked that already, but I couldn't find any usefull information and I've never done it before. So here is the problem. If I'll get a set of key pairs (DSA public and private keys) with different time validity and unique ID, what is the best way to store them in MySQL-DB using Java? Is it a good idea at all to store t...
reCAPTCHA requires a public and a private key before it can be implemented into a website. It also needs the reCAPTCHA keys depending on the website. What's the reason behind this? Does the Public and Private key affect the words displayed in the reCAPTCHA? I know that I can set the Public and Private key to be GLOBAL in which it can be ...
Hi all, I guess this might have been posted somewhere, I did search, but couldn't find anything. I have this server on which I run a game server, and where I want to have some TCP server (possibly written in Ruby) that will provide a pseudo-session with few commands available (like restart the game server, send the logs, etc.) What I ...
Hi All, Am I missing something obvious here (I hope I am), besides RSA, are there any other crypto methods in .NET that use a public & private key? Thanks! ...
I want to generate a key pair for use within my applications, but exporting them manually from the mmc is a pain. How can I use commandline parameters, or otherwise end up with a private certificate that resides on the hard drive, suitable for later distribution? ...
I'm developing a .NET package manager and one thing that got me thinking is security. Given that anybody can potentially upload an assembly to the repository, how do I verify that said assembly comes from a trusted source? For example, I'd trust NHibernate.dll much more if it was signed with a private key of guys from NHForge. To ensur...
I work in company with many servers and Pcs for developers. Servers are win2003, PC developers Windows XP. In a server Win2003 named preiis01, in preproduction environment, other people in company install a client certificate using any other user (unknown user for me) for logging in server preiis01. I use my user "domainCompany\myuser"...
I have the following .Net code (asp.net) for sign using client certificate. I have client certificate stored under local computer and not the current user. The client certificate is pfx pkcs#12 and has private key Imported private key are NOT marked as exportable. my private key in client certificate protected by password. On the ...
XOR encryption is known to be quite weak. But how weak is it if I have a key that is made up of multiple keys of different (ideally prime) lengths which are combined to make a longer key. eg I have a text keys of length 5, 9 and 11. If I just apply the first key using XOR encryption then it should be easy to break as the encryption byte ...
Short version: Is it necessary or even possible for me to generate a new distribution certificate based on my existing private key, or is there no harm, both for new apps and updates to existing apps on the app store, to generate a new certificate with a new private key? Long version: It seems to me that there is conflicting/misleadin...
I have done A LOT of looking around on the internet and just cannot find the answer to this question. I lost my private key, and so I have rejected and re-assigned new certificate/key combo, but am having issues submitting app updates to apps signed with the old key with my new key. Is it possible to update an existing app with a newly ...
