# RSA in iOS
### RSA wrapper in ObjectiveC and Quick sample project to test

---

Internet had very little to offer for RSA on iOS (at the time of first commit). Over complicated code, no documentation or required using 3rd Party Frameworks.

This can be done natively on iOS using the `Security` framework. So to save future readers some time, this project was put together.







### RSA.h

```
// Start a instance using +(void)sharedInstance

// Then call this method with 3 unique string as indentifiers
// Identifier in simple words is just names to used to remember these keys in a keychain

- (void)setIdentifierForPublicKey:(NSString *)pubIdentifier
privateKey:(NSString *)privIdentifier
serverPublicKey:(NSString *)servPublicIdentifier;
```

```
// Call this to generate the a pair of public and private keys for the mobile
- (void)generateRSAKeyPair:(RSACompletionBlock)completion;
```

##### Helper Methods
```
// Set the key size of RSA.
// enum RSAKeySize
// k512 = 512
// k768 = 768
// k1024 = 1024
// k2048 = 2048

- (void)setRSAKeySize:(RSAKeySize)keySize;

// Use this to remove the PEM encoding
- (NSString *)stripPEM:(NSString *)keyString;

```

##### Encryption Methods
```
- (NSString *)encryptUsingPublicKeyWithData:(NSData *)data;
- (NSString *)encryptUsingPrivateKeyWithData:(NSData*)data;
```

##### Decryption Methods
```
- (NSString *)decryptUsingPublicKeyWithData:(NSData *)data;
- (NSString *)decryptUsingPrivateKeyWithData:(NSData*)data;
```

##### SET and GET Public Key
```
- (BOOL)setPublicKey:(NSString *)keyAsBase64;
- (NSString *)getPublicKeyAsBase64;
```

##### Encrypt using Server's Public Key
```
// Use setPublicKey before using this method to set the server public key
- (NSString *)encryptUsingServerPublicKeyWithData:(NSData *)data;
```

---

### Have a Java Backened ?
##### It might require OID padding in the keys encoding to get it interfacing with iOS.

Great many thanks to Berin for [his blog post](http://blog.wingsofhermes.org/?p=75) on getting this working.

##### Accessors for public key from java servers with OID in keys
```
- (BOOL)setPublicKeyFromJavaServer:(NSString *)keyAsBase64;
- (NSString *)getPublicKeyAsBase64ForJavaServer;
```
