I am verifying the identity of the sender of a piece of data. I am provided the RSA public key in a PEM format and I know the data is passed through the SHA256 hashing function. The equivalent verification on the node.js platform:
Ticket.prototype.verify = function (ticket) {
if (!ticket) return null;
var pubkey = fs.readFileSync('/etc/SCAMP/auth/ticket_verify_public_key.pem');
var parts = ticket.split(',');
if (parts[0] != '1') return null;
var sig = new Buffer(parts.pop().replace(/-/g,'+').replace(/_/g,'/'), 'base64');
var valid = crypto.createVerify('sha256').update( new Buffer(parts.join(',')) ).verify( pubkey, sig )
Which can verify:
1,3063,21,1438783424,660,1+20+31+32+34+35+36+37+38+39+40+41+42+43+44+46+47+48+50+53+56+59+60+61+62+67+68+69+70+71+75+76+80+81+82+86+87+88+102+104+105+107+109+110+122+124,PcFNyWjoz_iiVMgEe8I3IBfzSlUcqUGtsuN7536PTiBW7KDovIqCaSi_8nZWcj-j1dfbQRA8mftwYUWMhhZ4DD78-BH8MovNVucbmTmf2Wzbx9bsI-dmUADY5Q2ol4qDXG4YQJeyZ6f6F9s_1uxHTH456QcsfNxFWh18ygo5_DVmQQSXCHN7EXM5M-u2DSol9MSROeBolYnHZyE093LgQ2veWQREbrwg5Fcp2VZ6VqIC7yu6f_xYHEvU0-ZsSSRMAMUmhLNhmFM4KDjl8blVgC134z7XfCTDDjCDiynSL6b-D-
by splitting on the last ,
. The left side of the split is the ticket data I care about, the right side is the signature which I need to verify before I can use the ticket data.
I have tried to port the logic to go:
func TestSigVerification(t *testing.T) {
block, _ := pem.Decode(signingPubKey)
if block == nil {
t.Errorf("expected to block to be non-nil CERTIFICATE", block)
}
key, err := x509.ParsePKIXPublicKey(block.Bytes)
if err != nil {
t.Errorf("could not parse PKIXPublicKey: `%s`", key)
}
rsaPubKey, ok := key.(*rsa.PublicKey)
if !ok {
t.Errorf("couldn't cast to rsa.PublicKey!")
}
ticket,_ := ParseTicketBytes(fullTicketBytes)
h := sha256.New()
h.Write(ticketBytes)
digest := h.Sum(nil)
err = rsa.VerifyPKCS1v15(rsaPubKey, crypto.SHA256, digest, ticket.Signature)
if err != nil {
t.Errorf("could not verify ticket: `%s` (digest: `%v`)", err, digest )
}
}
But I'm pretty sure VerifyPKCS1v15
is not equivalent to node's crypto.createVerify
and this test case fails. What should I be using? How can I use the public key to decrypt the signature and get the sha256? once I have the decrypted sha256 value I could just do a basic comparison with the sha256 I have generated.
