When i try to load the key with the following procedure it always says "Stream reading Error" at line Signatory1.LoadKeysFromStream(f, [partPrivate]);

var
  f: TMemoryStream;
  Signatory1: TSignatory;
  codecRSA: TCodec;
  CryptographicLibrary1: TCryptographicLibrary;
  base64Ciphertext: string;
begin
   f:= TMemoryStream.Create;
   f.LoadFromFile('C:OpenSSL-Win32inprivate.pem');

  codecRSA :=TCodec.Create(nil);
  CryptographicLibrary1 := TCryptographicLibrary.Create(nil);
  Signatory1 :=TSignatory.Create(nil);

  //=============TCodec===================
  codecRSA.CryptoLibrary  := CryptographicLibrary1;
  codecRSA.StreamCipherId := 'native.RSA';
  codecRSA.ChainModeId:= 'native.CBC';
  codecRSA.AsymetricKeySizeInBits := 1024;

  //====Signatory1=====================
  Signatory1.Codec :=codecRSA;
  //===Load public key=============
  Signatory1.LoadKeysFromStream(f, [partPrivate]);
end;

Any suggestions? I am using Delphi XE7 and the latest release of Lockbox 3 from Github

Answer 1

In my experience, LockBox 3 needs a PKCS#1 public key when working with OpenSSL generated keys. You must convert the public key to PKCS#1 before Lockbox3 can load it. (OpenSSL generates a PKCS#8 key). Use the RSAPublicKey keyword.

openssl rsa -pubin -in yourpublickey -RSAPublicKey_out -out publicpkcs1
