openssl_pkey_export

(PHP 4 >= 4.2.0, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

openssl_pkey_export — 将一个密钥的可输出表示转换为字符串

说明

openssl_pkey_export(
    #[\SensitiveParameter] OpenSSLAsymmetricKey|OpenSSLCertificate|array|string $key,
    string &$output,
    #[\SensitiveParameter] ?string $passphrase = null,
    ?array $options = null
): bool

openssl_pkey_export() 将 key 当作 PEM 编码字符串导出并且将之保存到output (通过引用传递的)中。

注意: 必须安装有效的 openssl.cnf 以保证此函数正确运行。参考有关安装的说明以获得更多信息。

参数

key
output
passphrase: 密钥可以通过 passphrase 来保护。
options: options 可以用来调整导出流程，通过指定或者覆盖openssl配置文件选项。参见 openssl_csr_new() 获取更多关于 options 的信息。

返回值

成功时返回 true，或者在失败时返回 false。

更新日志

Please take note that older versions of PHP/OpenSSL exports the RSA private key with '-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----' PEM tag, which includes just the privateKey field, thus omitting the version and privateKeyAlgorithm fields.

The effect of that would be that if you're converting it to DER, and then back to PEM, but using '-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----' PEM tag, that the openssl_pkey_get_privatekey() function will fail!

Senthryl's code can be used to prefix the PEM encoded data with the version and privateKeyAlgorithm fields again.

The newer PHP/OpenSSL versions exports the RSA private key with '-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----' PEM tag, which includes the version and privateKeyAlgorithm fields.

I noticed these differences between my two servers:
PHP Version 5.3.3 (OpenSSL 1.0.0a-fips 1 Jun 2010) on Fedora Core 12 x64
PHP Version 5.2.9 (OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007) on Fedora Core 10 x64

This function can be used to create a private key for use by JCE in Java.  For example, a private key could be generated by a PHP script and the result could be used in a Java client application.



Java requires the private key in DER format with some extra ASN.1 wrapping.  The function below can be used to convert the output of openssl_pkey_export into a format suitable for input into JCE:



<?php

    function derLength($length) {

        if ($length < 128) return str_pad(dechex($length), 2, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT);

        $output = dechex($length);

        if (strlen($output) % 2 != 0) $output = '0'.$output;

        return dechex(128 + strlen($output)/2) . $output;

    }

    function convertPemToDer($pem) {

        $matches = array();

        if (!preg_match('~^-----BEGIN ([A-Z ]+)-----\s*?([A-Za-z0-9+=/\r\n]+)\s*?-----END \1-----\s*$~D', $pem, $matches)) {

            die('Invalid PEM format encountered.'."\n");

        }

        $derData = base64_decode(str_replace(array("\r", "\n"), array('', ''), $matches[2]));

        $derData = pack('H*', '020100300d06092a864886f70d010101050004'.derLength(strlen($derData))) . $derData;

                $derData = pack('H*', '30'.derLength(strlen($derData))) . $derData;

                return $derData;

    }

?>



Example use:

<?php

    $keys = openssl_pkey_new(array('digest_alg' => 'sha1', 'private_key_type' => OPENSSL_KEYTYPE_RSA, 'private_key_bits' => 2048));

    if ($keys === false) die('Failed to generate key pair.'."\n");

    if (!openssl_pkey_export($keys, $privateKey)) die('Failed to retrieve private key.'."\n");

    $javaKey = convertPemToDer($privateKey);



    file_put_contents('key_for_java.der', $javaKey);

?>



Exporting a public key for use with JCE is trickier, since the Java libraries require the key to be input as a byte array.  In effect, the public key outputted by openssl_pkey_get_details() must be base64 decoded as above, and then parsed as ASN.1 to receive the actual key bytes (this can be done either on the PHP side or the Java side).



The following link is an invaluable resource to understanding the output from these functions:

Warning, this function is NOT capable of exporting PEM-encoded public keys. It can only export private keys.

Complete example to encrypt data...
=)
<pre>
<?php
// Create the keypair
$res=openssl_pkey_new();

// Get private key
openssl_pkey_export($res, $privkey, "PassPhrase number 1" );

// Get public key
$pubkey=openssl_pkey_get_details($res);
$pubkey=$pubkey["key"];
//var_dump($privkey);
//var_dump($pubkey);

// Create the keypair
$res2=openssl_pkey_new();

// Get private key
openssl_pkey_export($res2, $privkey2, "This is a passPhrase *µà" );

// Get public key
$pubkey2=openssl_pkey_get_details($res2);
$pubkey2=$pubkey2["key"];
var_dump($privkey2);
var_dump($pubkey2);

$data = "Only I know the purple fox. Trala la !";

openssl_seal($data, $sealed, $ekeys, array($pubkey, $pubkey2));

var_dump("sealed");
var_dump(base64_encode($sealed));
var_dump(base64_encode($ekeys[0]));
var_dump(base64_encode($ekeys[1]));

// decrypt the data and store it in $open
if (openssl_open($sealed, $open, $ekeys[1], openssl_pkey_get_private  ($privkey2  ,"This is a passPhrase *µà" ) ) ) {
    echo "here is the opened data: ", $open;
} else {
    echo "failed to open data";
}

?>
</pre>

I kept banging my head against the wall today trying to figure out why the RSA keys I was generating were encrypted (they have this stuff in them)
Proc-Type: 4,ENCRYPTED
DEK-Info: DES-EDE3-CBC,BEA1180EADE1524F

I finally realized that the issue was that I was passing a password into the "openssl_pkey_export" method inadvertently.

So the moral of the story is: you have to use NULL as the password. using an empty string will still cause the key to be encrypted.

you can get public key using openssl_pkey_get_details(resource $key ) function:

<?php

$pub_key = openssl_pkey_get_public(file_get_contents('./cert.crt'));
$keyData = openssl_pkey_get_details($pub_key);
fule_put_contents('./key.pub', $keyData['key']);

?>
