java – Android:Generating Elliptic Curve KeypPair
I am trying to realize key generation based on Eliptic curves Diffie Hellman. Now I want to specify my Eliptic curve myself, so I use the parameter from here
The code I wrote is to achieve this:
public void createKey(){
// base point (generator???)
BigInteger x = new BigInteger("2fe13c0537bbc11acaa07d793de4e6d5e5c94eee8", 16);
BigInteger y = new BigInteger("289070fb05d38ff58321f2e800536d538ccdaa3d9", 16);
// the order of generator
BigInteger n = new BigInteger("5846006549323611672814741753598448348329118574063", 10);
// curves coefficients
BigInteger ab = new BigInteger("1", 2);
// curves cofactor
BigInteger h = new BigInteger("2", 10);
// exponents of the equotation
int[] ks = {7, 6, 3};
ECFieldF2m ecField = new ECFieldF2m(163, ks);
// Elliptic curve
EllipticCurve ec = new EllipticCurve(ecField, ab, ab);
// GENERATOR POINT
ECPoint g = new ECPoint(x, y);
// Parameter specs?
ECParameterSpec ecps = new ECParameterSpec(ec , g , n, h.intValue());
try {
// get keypair
KeyPairGenerator kg = KeyPairGenerator.getInstance("ECDSA");
kg.initialize(ecps, new SecureRandom());
KeyPair kp = kg.generateKeyPair();
Log.d("SECLIENT"+type,kp.getPublic().toString());
Log.d("SECLIENT"+type,kp.getPrivate().toString());
}catch (Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
At this point, the code compiles. But it is trying_ Failed in catch block, it must generate keypair
The error message is:
Java.lang.runtimeexception: cannot create EC keyfactory: unhandled field class java.security.spec.ecfieldf2m
Does anyone have this question? How can I solve this problem?
resolvent:
I didn't encounter the same problem you encountered, but because you use EC in Android and have a strange runtimeException, I'll leave you 2 cents. I hope it can help you
I have another strange error (OEM related)
java.lang.RuntimeException: error:0f06707b:elliptic curve routines:EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name:UNKNowN_GROUP
When trying to use
KeyAgreement.getInstance("ECDH);
What happened to me was that I added spongycast as a securityprovider by doing the following:
Security.addProvider(new BouncyCastleProvider());
For some devices, everything works as expected, but for others (i.e. LGE nexus 5), I get exactly the same exception
The way to fix it for me is to change the way I add spongycast and do:
Security.insertProviderAt(new BouncyCastleProvider(), 1);
