If you found this post via Google, I am sure this is the final link you click. Your problem will be solved with a single function without any dependency!
You may have read these posts:
The first post helps, but it is too old, and it doesn’t provide the full code, the author is so mean!
The second is nonsense, because you people finding this post must have the exact need as me: iOS RSA encrypt with ONLY the public key. NO .der file, NO CA, NO bullshit!
OK, lets go on.
You generate RSA public key and private key with PHP
$config = array( "digest_alg" => "sha512", "private_key_bits" => 1024, "private_key_type" => OPENSSL_KEYTYPE_RSA, ); $res = openssl_pkey_new($config); openssl_pkey_export($res, $privKey); $pubKey = openssl_pkey_get_details($res); $pubKey = $pubKey["key"]; var_dump($privKey, $pubKey); // now you get keys in plain text
It is like:
-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- MIICdwIBADANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAASCAmEwggJdAgEAAoGBAMQKGp7zSUktNOQk PdfcvJ3sWP7O46ENmSO4s0+iDdhHbR7klyt2oj0gXM1sAJj8ZBWFudu8GpiDKqXw N88IZemfT5c1LEQshTD1WHfZC6EY2vf9MGl5yGtV5WkU8vDJpg0STUJrCAcJ5Cp/ m5qqJqgEM5Op6jHzwtzWV3syx+CBAgMBAAECgYEApSzqPzE3d3uqi+tpXB71oY5J cfB55PIjLPDrzFX7mlacP6JVKN7dVemVp9OvMTe/UE8LSXRVaFlkLsqXC07FJjhu wFXHPdnUf5sanLLdnzt3Mc8vMgUamGJl+er0wdzxM1kPTh0Tmq+DSlu5TlopAHd5 IqF3DYiORIen3xIwp0ECQQDj6GFaXWzWAu5oUq6j1msTRV3mRZnx8Amxt1ssYM0+ JLf6QYmpkGFqiQOhHkMgVUwRFqJC8A9EVR1eqabcBXbpAkEA3DQfLVr94vsIWL6+ VrFcPJW9Xk28CNY6Xnvkin815o2Q0JUHIIIod1eVKCiYDUzZAYAsW0gefJ49sJ4Y iRJN2QJAKuxeQX2s/NWKfz1rRNIiUnvTBoZ/SvCxcrYcxsvoe9bAi7KCMdxObJkn hNXFQLav39wKbV73ESCSqnx7P58L2QJABmhR2+0A5EDvvj1WpokkqPKmfv7+ELfD HQq33LvU4q+N3jPn8C85ZDedNHzx57kru1pyb/mKQZANNX10M1DgCQJBAMKn0lEx QH2GrkjeWgGVpPZkp0YC+ztNjaUMJmY5g0INUlDgqTWFNftxe8ROvt7JtUvlgtKC XdXQrKaEnpebeUQ= -----END PRIVATE KEY----- -----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY----- MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQDEChqe80lJLTTkJD3X3Lyd7Fj+ zuOhDZkjuLNPog3YR20e5JcrdqI9IFzNbACY/GQVhbnbvBqYgyql8DfPCGXpn0+X NSxELIUw9Vh32QuhGNr3/TBpechrVeVpFPLwyaYNEk1CawgHCeQqf5uaqiaoBDOT qeox88Lc1ld7MsfggQIDAQAB -----END PUBLIC KEY-----
Then you send the public key to iOS app
So, your Objective-C gets only this data(no other bullshit!):

You need a function to do RSA encryption
+ (NSString *)encryptString:(NSString *)str publicKey:(NSString *)pubKey;
YES! No SecRef, No Security.h, with exactly one function, of two arguments.
Now your code is as clean as
NSString *pubkey = get_public_key_string_with_http(); NSString *ret = [RSA encryptString:@"hello world!" publicKey:pubkey]; NSLog(@"encrypted: %@", ret);
Screw 100% percent security!
Many Apps don’t need 100% percent security, it only needs encryption, with RSA public key only!
