Public Key Infrastructure Lab

RSA Encryption & Signature Lab

Assignment – 2
Public Key Infrastructure Lab:

1) Pre-requisite Tasks

 Simple update through sudo command

 Installing docker

 Checking if images pulled


 Checking pulled containers

 Docker hello world. Running docker. Docker running fine


2) Becoming a certificate authority

 Accessing directory along with initial setups

 Generating RSA private key and infosetting


3) Generating a certificate request for your web server

 Generating RSA (pass set to dees)


 Encrypting the server key (in last 3 pictures)
 Configuring server key through given commands

Note: We could not solve this lab (Lab 1) any further


RSA Encryption and Signature Lab:

1) Implementing BIGNUM example

 Compiled & executed the given code

2) Deriving the private key

 Used the given values of p, q & e to derive the private key


3) Encrypting a message

 Encrypted the message “A top secret!” using the public keys and private key

4) Decrypting a message

 Decrypted the ciphertext to the following using the public and private key in the previous tasks
5) Signing a message

 Successfully created a signature using public and private key.


 Different values of the amount of money lead to a completely different signature, highlighting the effect
that the change of even one character can have

6) Verifying a signature

 Correct signature = correct message. Incorrect signature = incorrect message


 Verified signature through message output
7) Manually verifying an X.509 certificate

 Downloaded a certificate from a real web server

 After creating c0.pem & c1.pem, extracted public key from issuer’s certificate
 Extracted signature from the server’s certificate with the following given command

 Extracted the body of the server certificate through the given command

 Calculating hash of the certificate body through the given command


 Hash value calculated through command and pre-computed hash value match, verifying signature
