(.NET Core C#) Rewrite PFX using AES256-SHA256

Demonstrates how to load a .pfx/.p12, examine the encryption algorithm used, and rewrite using aes256-sha256.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.83 or greater.

// This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.83 or greater.

Chilkat.Pfx pfx = new Chilkat.Pfx();

// Let's load a .pfx and examine the encryption algorithms used to protect the private key:
bool success = pfx.LoadPfxFile("qa_data/pfx/test_secret.pfx","secret");
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(pfx.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Examine the algorithms:

// "pbeWithSHAAnd3_KeyTripleDES_CBC" or "pbes2"?
Debug.WriteLine("Algorithm: " + pfx.AlgorithmId);

// If the algorithm is "pbes2" then examine the actual encryption and HMAC algorithms used within pbes2.
// (If the algorithm is NOT "pbes2", then the following properties are meaningless and will not be modified from their previous values prior to loading the PFX.)
Debug.WriteLine("Pbes2CryptAlg: " + pfx.Pbes2CryptAlg);
Debug.WriteLine("Pbes2HmacAlg: " + pfx.Pbes2HmacAlg);

// Our output so far:

// Algorithm: pbeWithSHAAnd3_KeyTripleDES_CBC
// Pbes2CryptAlg: aes256-cbc
// Pbes2HmacAlg: hmacWithSha256

// This tells us that the PFX we loaded was protected using triple-DES with SHA1.
// (Most existing .pfx/.p12 files use 3DES w/ SHA1.)
// The Pbes2CryptAlg and Pbes2HmacAlg properties do not apply here because the AlgorithmId is not equal to "pbes2".  We can ignore those values.

// Examine the LastJsonData for the call to LoadPfxFile.  This gives us information about what is contained in the PFX, including extended attributes.
Chilkat.JsonObject json = pfx.LastJsonData();
json.EmitCompact = false;
Debug.WriteLine(json.Emit());
