openssl_private_encrypt

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.6, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

openssl_private_encrypt — Encripta información con la clave privada

Descripción

openssl_private_encrypt(
    string $data,
    string &$crypted,
    mixed $key,
    int $padding = OPENSSL_PKCS1_PADDING
): bool

openssl_private_encrypt() encripta data con la clave privada key y almacena el resultado en crypted. La información encriptada se puede desencriptar mediante openssl_public_decrypt().

Esta función se puede usar para, p.ej., firmar información (o su hash) para demostrar que no está escrita por otro cualquiera.

Parámetros

data
crypted
key
padding: padding puede ser OPENSSL_PKCS1_PADDING, OPENSSL_NO_PADDING.

Valores devueltos

Devuelve true en caso de éxito o false en caso de error.

Just a little note on  [P.Peyremorte]'s note.

"- openssl_private_encrypt can encrypt a maximum of 117 chars at one time."

This depends on the length of $key:

- For a 1024 bit key length => max number of chars (bytes) to encrypt = 1024/8 - 11(when padding used) = 117 chars (bytes).
- For a 2048 bit key length => max number of chars (bytes) to encrypt = 2048/8 - 11(when padding used) = 245 chars (bytes).
... and so on

By the way, if openssl_private_encrypt fails because of data size you won't get anything but just false as returned value, the same for openssl_public_decrypt() on decryption.

"- the encrypted output string is always 129 char length. If you use base64_encode on the encrypted output, it will give always 172 chars, with the last always "=" (filler)"

This again depends on the length of $key:

- For a 1024 bit key length => encrypted number of raw bytes is always a block of 128 bytes (1024 bits) by RSA design.
- For a 2048 bit key length => encrypted number of raw bytes is always a block of 256 bytes (2048 bits) by RSA design.
... and so on

About base64_encode output length, it depends on what you encode (meaning it depends on the bytes resulting after encryption), but in general the resulting encoded string will be about a 33% bigger (for 128 bytes bout 170 bytes and for 256 bytes about 340 bytes).

I would then generalize a little [P.Peyremorte]'s note by:
<?php
// given the variables as constants:

  //Block size for encryption block cipher
  private $ENCRYPT_BLOCK_SIZE = 200;// this for 2048 bit key for example, leaving some room

  //Block size for decryption block cipher
  private $DECRYPT_BLOCK_SIZE = 256;// this again for 2048 bit key

         //For encryption we would use:
  function encrypt_RSA($plainData, $privatePEMKey)
  {
    $encrypted = '';
    $plainData = str_split($plainData, $this->ENCRYPT_BLOCK_SIZE);
    foreach($plainData as $chunk)
    {
      $partialEncrypted = '';

      //using for example OPENSSL_PKCS1_PADDING as padding
      $encryptionOk = openssl_private_encrypt($chunk, $partialEncrypted, $privatePEMKey, OPENSSL_PKCS1_PADDING);

      if($encryptionOk === false){return false;}//also you can return and error. If too big this will be false
      $encrypted .= $partialEncrypted;
    }
    return base64_encode($encrypted);//encoding the whole binary String as MIME base 64
  }

         //For decryption we would use:
  protected function decrypt_RSA($publicPEMKey, $data)
  {
    $decrypted = '';

    //decode must be done before spliting for getting the binary String
    $data = str_split(base64_decode($data), $this->DECRYPT_BLOCK_SIZE);

    foreach($data as $chunk)
    {
      $partial = '';

      //be sure to match padding
      $decryptionOK = openssl_public_decrypt($chunk, $partial, $publicPEMKey, OPENSSL_PKCS1_PADDING);

      if($decryptionOK === false){return false;}//here also processed errors in decryption. If too big this will be false
      $decrypted .= $partial;
    }
    return $decrypted;
  }
?>

Encrypt using private key, decrypt using public key.



Use this for posting signed messages:  Anyone with access to

your public key can read it, but they can't create one with

your signature.



<?php

echo "Source: $source";

$fp=fopen("/path/to/private.key","r");

$priv_key=fread($fp,8192);

fclose($fp);

// $passphrase is required if your key is encoded (suggested)

$res = openssl_get_privatekey($priv_key,$passphrase);

/*

 * NOTE:  Here you use the returned resource value

 */

openssl_private_encrypt($source,$crypttext,$res);

echo "String crypted: $crypttext";



$fp=fopen ("/path/to/certificate.crt","r");

$pub_key=fread($fp,8192);

fclose($fp);

openssl_get_publickey($pub_key);

/*

 * NOTE:  Here you use the $pub_key value (converted, I guess)

 */

openssl_public_decrypt($crypttext,$newsource,$pub_key);

echo "String decrypt : $newsource";

Here is a over simplified version of using the crypt capabilities for getting started:

$res = openssl_pkey_new();

// Get private key
openssl_pkey_export($res, $privkey);

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

// get some text from command line to work with
$tocrypt = trim(fgets(STDIN));

// some variables to work with
$encryptedviaprivatekey = ""; //holds text encrypted with the private key
$decryptedviapublickey = ""; // holds text which was decrypted by the public key after being encrypted with the private key, should be same as $tocrypt
$encryptedviapublickey = ""; // holds text that was encrypted with the public key
$decryptedviaprivatekey = ""; // holds text that was decrypted with the private key after being encrypted with the public key, should be the same as $tocrypt

openssl_private_encrypt($tocrypt, $encryptedviaprivatekey, $privkey);
echo $tocrypt . "->" . $encryptedviaprivatekey;
echo "\n\n";
openssl_public_decrypt($encryptedviaprivatekey, $decryptedviapublickey, $pubkey);
echo $encryptedviaprivatekey . "->" . $decryptedviapublickey;
echo "\n\n";

openssl_public_encrypt($tocrypt,$encryptedviapublickey, $pubkey);
echo $tocrypt . "->" . $encryptedviapublickey;
echo "\n\n";
openssl_private_decrypt($encryptedviapublickey, $decryptedviaprivatekey, $privkey);
echo $encryptedviapublickey . "->" . $decryptedviaprivatekey;

Output:

A trick not mentioned in manual to know :

- openssl_private_encrypt can encrypt a maximum of 117 chars at one time.
- the encrypted output string is always 129 char length. If you use base64_encode on the encrypted output, it will give always 172 chars, with the last always "=" (filler).

So, to encode a longer stream input you have to use something like :
<?php
$RawData = ... ; //Your input data to encode

$PartialData = '';
$EncodedData = '';
$Split = str_split($RawData , 117);
ForEach($Split as $Part)
{
  openssl_private_encrypt($Part, $PartialData, $PrivateKey);
  $EncodedData .= base64_encode($PartialData);
}
?> 

and then, to decode :

<?php
$OriginalData = '';
$Split = str_split($EncodedData , 172);
ForEach($Split as $Part)
{
  openssl_private_decrypt(base64_decode($Part), $PartialData, $PublicKey);
  $OriginalData .= $PartialData;
}
?>
