Hi Gurus!
Please forgive me for my question. I'm very new to
BC for J2ME and this list. I've done quite a bit of
J2ME apps, but not crypto enabled ones. I have some
questions about using public key to encrypt data in
a MIDlet. Please point me to the right doc. I've
googled and found nothing precise.
Here's the deal. I'm working on MIDlet that needs to
encrypt a form field using the public key of a
third-party that will process the form when sent.
Using
symmetric key cipher is not an option. RSA encryption
is the required option.
I to want to hard code the public key into a variable
in the MIDlet.
My questions:
1. In what format should I receive the public key from
the third-party so I can include in my MIDlet
cut-and-paste?
Should it be as a certificate, or plain public key?
2. If I get it as a certificate, which includes other
components, what API's are there in BC to extract
just the public key part so I can use it to encrypt
my data?
I am using Sun's Wireless Tool Kit (WTK2.5.2) for the
development.
Thanks for your answers. I look forward to them.
