(Swift) How to Generate an Elliptic Curve Shared SecretDemonstrates how to generate an ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) shared secret. Imagine a cilent has one ECC private key, the server has another. A shared secret is computed by each side providing it's public key to the other. The private keys are kept private. Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.
func chilkatTest() { // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked. // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code. // This example includes both client-side and server-side code. // Each code segment is marked as client-side or server-side. // Imagine these segments are running on separate computers... var success: Bool // ----------------------------------------------------------------- // (Client-Side) Generate an ECC key, save the public part to a file. // ----------------------------------------------------------------- let prngClient = CkoPrng()! let eccClient = CkoEcc()! let privKeyClient = CkoPrivateKey()! success = eccClient.genKey("secp256r1", prng: prngClient, privKey: privKeyClient) if success == false { print("\(eccClient.lastErrorText!)") return } let pubKeyClient = CkoPublicKey()! privKeyClient.to(pubKeyClient) pubKeyClient.savePemFile(false, path: "qa_output/eccClientPub.pem") // ----------------------------------------------------------------- // (Server-Side) Generate an ECC key, save the public part to a file. // ----------------------------------------------------------------- let prngServer = CkoPrng()! let eccServer = CkoEcc()! let privKeyServer = CkoPrivateKey()! eccServer.genKey("secp256r1", prng: prngServer, privKey: privKeyServer) let pubKeyServer = CkoPublicKey()! privKeyServer.to(pubKeyServer) pubKeyServer.savePemFile(false, path: "qa_output/eccServerPub.pem") // ----------------------------------------------------------------- // (Client-Side) Generate the shared secret using our private key, and the other's public key. // ----------------------------------------------------------------- // Imagine that the server sent the public key PEM to the client. // (This is simulated by loading the server's public key from the file. let pubKeyFromServer = CkoPublicKey()! pubKeyFromServer.load(fromFile: "qa_output/eccServerPub.pem") var sharedSecret1: String? = eccClient.sharedSecretENC(privKeyClient, pubKey: pubKeyFromServer, encoding: "base64") // ----------------------------------------------------------------- // (Server-Side) Generate the shared secret using our private key, and the other's public key. // ----------------------------------------------------------------- // Imagine that the client sent the public key PEM to the server. // (This is simulated by loading the client's public key from the file. let pubKeyFromClient = CkoPublicKey()! pubKeyFromClient.load(fromFile: "qa_output/eccClientPub.pem") var sharedSecret2: String? = eccServer.sharedSecretENC(privKeyServer, pubKey: pubKeyFromClient, encoding: "base64") // --------------------------------------------------------- // Examine the shared secrets. They should be the same. // Both sides now have a secret that only they know. // --------------------------------------------------------- print("\(sharedSecret1!)") print("\(sharedSecret2!)") } |
