Im writing an integration in Elixir and as one part I need to create an encrypted login string. However I have zero experience with encryption and im not able to understand the Erlang docs well enogh to understand. I would rather use pure Erlang to do this that add some dependency to a Elexir wrapper if possible.
The Java code I need to write in Elixir looks as follows.
private String encryptAuthParameter(String user, String password)
throws NoSuchAlgorithmException, InvalidKeySpecException, IOException, NoSuchPaddingException,
InvalidKeyException, IllegalBlockSizeException, BadPaddingException {
// Construct the base for the auth parameter
String login =
Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(user.getBytes())
+ ":"
+ Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(password.getBytes())
+ ":"
+ Base64.getEncoder()
.encodeToString(String.valueOf(System.currentTimeMillis()).getBytes());
// RSA encrypt it using NNAPI public key
PublicKey pubKey = getKeyFromPEM(Main.PUBLIC_KEY_FILENAME);
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("RSA");
cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, pubKey);
byte[] encryptedBytes = cipher.doFinal(login.getBytes("UTF-8"));
// Encode the encrypted data in Base64
String encodedEncryptedBytes = Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(encryptedBytes);
return URLEncoder.encode(encodedEncryptedBytes, "UTF-8");
}
private static PublicKey getKeyFromPEM(String filename)
throws NoSuchAlgorithmException, InvalidKeySpecException, IOException {
BufferedReader reader = null;
try {
reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(filename));
String line = null;
String key = "";
while (true) {
line = reader.readLine();
if (line == null) break;
else if (line.startsWith("-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----")) continue;
else if (line.startsWith("-----END PUBLIC KEY-----")) continue;
else key += line.trim();
}
byte[] binary = Base64.getDecoder().decode(key);
X509EncodedKeySpec spec = new X509EncodedKeySpec(binary);
KeyFactory kf = KeyFactory.getInstance("RSA");
return kf.generatePublic(spec);
} finally {
if (reader != null) {
reader.close();
}
}
}
The only thing I have so far is:
def encryptAuthParameter(user, password) do
now = DateTime.utc_now() |> DateTime.to_unix(:millisecond) |> Integer.to_string()
# Convert to Base64
login = Base.encode64(user) <> ":" <> Base.encode64(password) <> ":" <> Base.encode64(now)
# Use public key to encode message
File.read!()
# Base 64 encode the encrypted string
login
end

Turns out it was not that hard. Here is the code that got it working.
