In this chapter, we will focus on step wise implementation of RSA algorithm using Python.

Generating RSA keys

The following steps are involved in generating RSA keys −

  • Create two large prime numbers namely p and q. The product of these numbers will be called n, where n= p*q

  • Generate a random number which is relatively prime with (p-1) and (q-1). Let the number be called as e.

  • Calculate the modular inverse of e. The calculated inverse will be called as d.

Algorithms for generating RSA keys

We need two primary algorithms for generating RSA keys using Python − Cryptomath module and Rabin Miller module.

Cryptomath Module

The source code of cryptomath module which follows all the basic implementation of RSA algorithm is as follows −

RabinMiller Module

Openssl Generate Rsa Private Key

The source code of RabinMiller module which follows all the basic implementation of RSA algorithm is as follows −

The complete code for generating RSA keys is as follows −

Output

The public key and private keys are generated and saved in the respective files as shown in the following output.

Get started with the Azure Key Vault client library for Python. Follow the steps below to install the package and try out example code for basic tasks.

Azure Key Vault helps safeguard cryptographic keys and secrets used by cloud applications and services. Use the Key Vault client library for Python to:

  • Increase security and control over keys and passwords.
  • Create and import encryption keys in minutes.
  • Reduce latency with cloud scale and global redundancy.
  • Simplify and automate tasks for TLS/SSL certificates.
  • Use FIPS 140-2 Level 2 validated HSMs.

Prerequisites

  • An Azure subscription - create one for free.
  • Python 2.7, 3.5.3, or later
  • Azure CLI or Azure PowerShell

This quickstart assumes you are running Azure CLI in a Linux terminal window.

Setting up

Install the package

From the console window, install the Azure Key Vault keys library for Python.

For this quickstart, you will need to install the azure.identity package as well:

Create a resource group and key vault

This quickstart uses a pre-created Azure key vault. You can create a key vault by following the steps in the Azure CLI quickstart, Azure PowerShell quickstart, or Azure portal quickstart. Alternatively, you can run the Azure CLI commands below.

Important

Each key vault must have a unique name. Replace with the name of your key vault in the following examples.

Create a service principal

The simplest way to authenticate a cloud-based .NET application is with a managed identity; see Use an App Service managed identity to access Azure Key Vault for details. For the sake of simplicity however, this quickstart creates a .NET console application. Authenticating a desktop application with Azure requires the use of a service principal and an access control policy.

Create a service principle using the Azure CLI az ad sp create-for-rbac command:

This operation will return a series of key / value pairs.

Take note of the clientId and clientSecret, as we will use them in the Set environmental variable step below.

Give the service principal access to your key vault

Create an access policy for your key vault that grants permission to your service principal by passing the clientId to the az keyvault set-policy command. Give the service principal get, list, and create permissions for keys.

Set environmental variables

The DefaultAzureCredential method in our application relies on three environmental variables: AZURE_CLIENT_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET, and AZURE_TENANT_ID. Set these variables to the clientId, clientSecret, and tenantId values you noted in the Create a service principal step using the export VARNAME=VALUE format. (This method only sets the variables for your current shell and processes created from the shell; to permanently add these variables to your environment, edit your /etc/environment file.)

You will also need to save your key vault name as an environment variable called KEY_VAULT_NAME.

Object model

The Azure Key Vault client library for Python allows you to manage keys and related assets such as certificates and secrets. The code samples below will show you how to create a client, create a key, retrieve a key, and delete a key.

Code examples

Add directives

Add the following directives to the top of your code:

Authenticate and create a client

Authenticating to your key vault and creating a key vault client depends on the environmental variables in the Set environmental variables step above. The name of your key vault is expanded to the key vault URI, in the format 'https://.vault.azure.net'.

Save a key

Now that your application is authenticated, you can put a key into your keyvault

You can verify that the key has been set with the az keyvault key show command:

Retrieve a key

You can now retrieve the previously created key

Your key is now saved as retrieved_key.

Delete a key

Python Rsa.generate

Finally, let's delete the key from your key vault

You can verify that the key is gone with the az keyvault key show command:

Openssl Generate Rsa Key Pair

Clean up resources

When no longer needed, you can use the Azure CLI or Azure PowerShell to remove your key vault and the corresponding resource group.

Sample code

Next steps

In this quickstart you created a key vault, stored a key, and retrieved that key. To learn more about Key Vault and how to integrate it with your applications, continue on to the articles below.
