generate - Convertir una cadena con formato PEM en un java.security.cert.X509Certificate

read x509 certificate java

Question

¿Cómo se crea una instancia java.security.cert.X509Certificate desde una cadena con formato PEM? La cadena con formato PEM es un valor de encabezado "SSL_CLIENT_CERT" de solicitud HTTP.

RESPUESTA : Basado en la respuesta de mgaert, esto es lo que escribí en Scala :

val cert = factory.generateCertificate(
    new ByteArrayInputStream(
      Base64.decodeBase64(
        cert.stripPrefix("-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----").stripSuffix("-----END CERTIFICATE-----")
      )
    ).asInstanceOf[X509Certificate]

Answer 1

Decodifica la Base64 a binario, con algunos InputStream leyendo, luego intenta

CertificateFactory cf = CertificateFactory.getInstance("X.509");
Certificate cert = cf.generateCertificate(is);

Answer 2

Los pasos en la conversión de la cadena con formato PEM son opuestos a cómo se llevó a cabo (x509 -> Cadena).

-----END CERTIFICATE-----

Aquí están los pasos:

1. Remove headers from PEM formatted String
Headers are : ---- BEGIN CERTIFICATE ----- and ----- END CERTIFICATE ------
2. Decode the rest of the part using Base64 to byte array
3. Then you can use CertificateFactory to convert byte stream to x509Certificate object

Código de muestra para hacer arriba (con PEM Writer):

  /**
     * Converts a PEM formatted String to a {@link X509Certificate} instance.
     *
     * @param pem PEM formatted String
     * @return a X509Certificate instance
     * @throws CertificateException 
     * @throws IOException
     */
    public X509Certificate convertToX509Certificate(String pem) throws CertificateException, IOException {
        X509Certificate cert = null;
        StringReader reader = new StringReader(pem);
        PEMReader pr = new PEMReader(reader);
        cert = (X509Certificate)pr.readObject();
        return cert;
    }

Answer 3

Otra muestra,

public static X509Certificate convertToX509Cert(String certificateString) throws CertificateException {
    X509Certificate certificate = null;
    CertificateFactory cf = null;
    try {
        if (certificateString != null && !certificateString.trim().isEmpty()) {
            certificateString = certificateString.replace("-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----/n", "")
                    .replace("-----END CERTIFICATE-----", ""); // NEED FOR PEM FORMAT CERT STRING
            byte[] certificateData = Base64.getDecoder().decode(certificateString);
            cf = CertificateFactory.getInstance("X509");
            certificate = (X509Certificate) cf.generateCertificate(new ByteArrayInputStream(certificateData));
        }
    } catch (CertificateException e) {
        throw new CertificateException(e);
    }
    return certificate;
}

Answer 4

Tengo un problema similar, también estoy pegando aquí el código java que funcionó para mí en caso de que alguien lo haya leído:

import java.util.Base64;

public static X509Certificate parseCertificate(String _headerName, HttpServletRequest _request) throws CertificateException {
    String certStr = _request.getHeader("x-clientcert");
    //before decoding we need to get rod off the prefix and suffix
    byte [] decoded = Base64.getDecoder().decode(certStr.replaceAll(X509Factory.BEGIN_CERT, "").replaceAll(X509Factory.END_CERT, ""));

    return (X509Certificate) CertificateFactory.getInstance("X.509").generateCertificate(new ByteArrayInputStream(decoded));
}
