I want to sign the pdf using pdf digest. I have created the hash using below code,
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int numOfBytesRead =0;
MessageDigest md = null;
md = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA256","BC");
while((numOfBytesRead = content.read(buffer)) != -1 ){
md.update(buffer, 0, numOfBytesRead);
}
byte[] digest = md.digest();
At the end I need to attach this signature to my pdf. I have found one solution Create pkcs7 signature from file digest, but the algorithm used in the link is SHA256withRSA. My privatekey is genearted using EC algorithm and I need to use SHA256withECDSA.Is it possible to just sign the Hash using SHA256withECDSA and attach the signature to the pdf using PDFBox ExternalSigning Interface.
There are several situations in which Adobe calls a signer's certificate invalid even though apparently it is valid; in the case at hand in particular:
Key usage or Extended key usage values not appropriate
PAdES signature misses an ESS signing-certificate-v2 attribute
Key usage or Extended key usage values not appropriate
This is based on the information the OP first published as an answer
I tried below code still the pdf says Signature is invalid. Can you please check the code,
[...]
I have attached the pdf . Pdf file created
Indeed, Adobe Reader says the signature is invalid, but look more closely:
It says "Document has not been modified since this signature was applied" - This means that the signature is mathematically correct!
The issue is that the "Signer's certificate is invalid", and the reason for this can be seen when digging into the signature property dialogues:
Thus, the problem is that your signer certificate is Not valid for usage.
This is due to the highlighted attribute, while the Key Usage Digital Signature is ok, the "Extended key usage" 1.3.6.1.5.5.8.2.2 (OID for IPSEC Protection) is not!
According to the Adobe Digital Signatures Guide for IT, Adobe Acrobat accepts only
one or more of the following Key usage values (if any)
nonRepudiation
signTransaction (11.0.09 only)
digitalSignature (11.0.10 and later)
and one or more of the following Extended key usage values (if any)
emailProtection
codeSigning
anyExtendedKeyUsage
1.2.840.113583.1.1.5 (Adobe Authentic Documents Trust)
Due to its IPSEC Protection extended key usage value, therefore, your certificate is not considered valid for signing PDF documents.
This probably only is an issue in legacy ISO 32000-1 signatures, probably not in PAdES signatures.
PAdES signature misses an ESS signing-certificate-v2 attribute
This is based on the information the OP first published as an answer

PDFB
I think something is missing in the signing part of PDFA which I couldn't figure out.
Here the main difference is not whether you explicitly calculate the hash yourself or allow it to be calculated implicitly, the main difference is that the signature in PDFB includes an ESS signing-certificate-v2 attribute while the one in PDFA does not. This attribute is generated between
//PAdES - PDF Advanced Electronic Signature
and
//PAdES-end
As the comments already hint, this is only necessary for PAdES signatures, not for legacy ISO 32000-1 ones. The answer the OP took his original code from referred to creating a legacy ISO 32000-1 signature (and, therefore, works alright) while the OP creates a PAdES signature.
The presence of an ESS signing certificate attribute is required by the PAdES specification ETSI EN 319 142-1:
e) Generators shall use either the signing certificate or the signing-certificate v2 attribute, depending on the hash function, in accordance with ETSI EN 319 122-1.
(ETSI EN 319 142-1, section 6.3 PAdES baseline signatures)
It references the CAdES specification ETSI EN 319 122-1 which in turn requires
h) Requirement for SPO: ESS signing-certificate. The ESS signing-certificate attribute shall be used if the SHA-1 hash algorithm is used.
i) Requirement for SPO: ESS signing-certificate-v2. The ESS signing-certificate-v2 attribute shall be used when another hash algorithms than SHA-1 is used.
(ETSI EN 319 122-1, section 6.3 Requirements on components and services)

Hello I want to read SHA and MD5 fingerprint value of keystore programmatically of my app from which it was signed.
I'll take either SHA or MD5 value as key for security. This key I will use in the code to encrypt something and decrypt same at server end.
Is there any way to find this or is there any way to do same using different good approach. This should be in such a way nobody other can find this key.
Thanks in advance.

Find the path of your application's APK file by calling Context.getPackageCodePath()
Copy that APK to a writeable directory of your choice
Use apk-parser to get the information you need from the APK (see example below)
That library is able to decompress the APK file and parse all of its content. An example extracted from the apk-parser's Github page, tailored to your needs:
try {
ApkParser apkParser = new ApkParser(new File(filePath));
ApkSignStatus signStatus = apkParser.verifyApk(); // not needed
List<CertificateMeta> certs = apkParser.getCertificateMetas();
for (CertificateMeta certificateMeta : certs) {
System.out.println(certificateMeta.getCertMd5());
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Added below solution in-case if someone is looking for it for the first time, and don't know how to get it from studio as well.
Many times we search and get suggestion links.
Easiest Way
Open Android Studio
Open Your Project
Click on Gradle (From Right Side Panel, you will see Gradle Bar)
Click on Refresh (Click on Refresh from Gradle Bar, you will see List Gradle scripts of your Project)
Click on Your Project (Your Project Name form List (root))
Click on Tasks
Click on android
Double Click on signingReport (You will get SHA1 and MD5 in Run Bar)

And here is the code I am using for encrypt (encode) and decrypt (decode):
private String encryptString(String value){
byte[] encodedBytes = null;
try {
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("RSA/ECB/PKCS1Padding", "AndroidOpenSSL");
cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, privateKeyEntry );
encodedBytes = cipher.doFinal(value.getBytes());

}
private String decryptString(String value){
byte[] decodedBytes = null;
try {
Cipher c = Cipher.getInstance("RSA/ECB/PKCS1Padding", "AndroidOpenSSL");
c.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, privateKeyEntry );
decodedBytes = c.doFinal(Base64.decode(value, Base64.DEFAULT));
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return new String(decodedBytes);
}
The Encryption appears to work fine but when I try to decrypt it I get the following error:
javax.crypto.BadPaddingException: error:0407106B:rsa routines:RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_2:block type is not 02
Googling this seems to suggest that the private key used for decryption is different to the one used for decryption but in my code I use the exact same private key for both. I have also seen it suggested to set the key size manually but doing this in the KeyPairGenerator builder like this:
.setKeySize(1024);
Did not work and seems to be only available on API 19, I need to target API 18.
Can anyone help point me in the right direction as to a solution?
You are not using the public key for encryption.
When you are using asymmetric encryption algorithms, you need to use the public key to encrypt your data, and the private key only to decrypt it again.
Besides encryption, you can also use the private key for signing, but that's not what you want here, so let's forget about that for the moment.
If you take the public key from the generated pair, when you encrypt your string, and the private key when decrypting, you should get the desired result. The public key you can extract by accessing the certificate from the keystore-object that holds your private key.
Alternatively you could also use a symmetric algorithm like AES and by that make your work a lot easier. Plus, symmetric algorithms are usually much faster, which is why asymmetric algorithms are never used purely, but in conjunction with symmetric algorithms, building so-called hybrid algorithms.
Signature generation is not the same thing as encryption. You need to encrypt with the public key and decrypt with the private key if you want encryption. If you want signature generation, you need to sign with the private key and verify with the public key. This order cannot be reversed nor can it be mixed (securely).
How can i calculate the CheckSum of my APK file in android? I want to calculate the APK checksum and compare it everytime my app. executes to see if some one has modified the binary code? How can i calculate check sum and achieve this?
Updated in 2020 - Google Play can now optimise, repackage and re-sign uploaded .apks (and add security meta data to the .apk) so it's unlikely this tamper check is still valid. Better to use the SafetyNet attestation API to verify the device and in turn your app - just ensure you're verifying the signature offline on your server.
Here's some code to checksum your APK. I wrote and article on adding tamper detections to your apps (which ironically didn't include apk checksum).
private static long getApkFileChecksum(Context context) {
String apkPath = context.getPackageCodePath();
Long chksum = null;
try {
// Open the file and build a CRC32 checksum.
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(new File(apkPath));
CRC32 chk = new CRC32();
CheckedInputStream cis = new CheckedInputStream(fis, chk);
byte[] buff = new byte[80];
while (cis.read(buff) >= 0) ;
chksum = chk.getValue();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return chksum;
}
You could also use this to can the sha-256 of your apk...
public static String getApkFileDigest(Context context) {
String apkPath = context.getPackageCodePath();
try {
byte[] hashed= getDigest(new FileInputStream(apkPath), "SHA-256");
return Base64.encodeToString(hashed, Base64.DEFAULT);
} catch (Throwable throwable) {
throwable.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
public static final int BUFFER_SIZE = 2048;
public static byte[] getDigest(InputStream in, String algorithm) throws Throwable {
MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance(algorithm);
try {
DigestInputStream dis = new DigestInputStream(in, md);
byte[] buffer = new byte[BUFFER_SIZE];
while (dis.read(buffer) != -1) {
}
dis.close();
} finally {
in.close();
}
return md.digest();
}
Is there any way to get the private key that current APK was signed with?
The operation is completely safe, since any modification (injection) to app would need a new signing and new key pair. So if private key (that developer is aware of that) is accessible to the running code, it's only accessible to the original code not a malicious one.
X509Certificate allows access to PublicKey, but I need access to PrivateKey.
public static X509Certificate GetCertificate(Context context) {
PackageManager pm = context.getPackageManager();
String packageName = context.getPackageName();
PackageInfo packageInfo = null;
try {
packageInfo = pm.getPackageInfo(packageName, PackageManager.GET_SIGNATURES);
} catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Signature[] signatures = packageInfo.signatures;
byte[] cert = signatures[0].toByteArray();
InputStream input = new ByteArrayInputStream(cert);
CertificateFactory cf = null;
try {
cf = CertificateFactory.getInstance("X509");
} catch(CertificateException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
X509Certificate c = null;
try {
c = (X509Certificate) cf.generateCertificate(input);
} catch(CertificateException e) {
}
return c;
}
Edit:
A side question can be:
Is there any way to ensure that currently running code is running inside the APK with the original certificate?
(Everybody have access to public key, so it's not a good candidate to check against, but private key is only known by original developer which can protect it (in some way) and check package certification against that.)
The private key is used only for signing the APK and never (in theory) leaves the place of signing. So it's not possible to recover it from the APK.
Update: and no, the code itself can't check the validity of its own image. If the image has been altered, it's trivial to remove the check as well.
I would like to offer a md5 verifier in my android app which compares the server md5 and the just created one on the device.
The output should be like correct or incorrect and not that the user has to compare the hashes.
I already found out that it's possible to get the hash on android via
/system/xbin/busybox md5sum /sdcard/Download/FILENAME
. Of cause I can print the output of the command to screen but that's not what I want.
Because I don't want to reinvent the wheel is something like that already available? SHA1 would be possible too, both hashes are available.
Please help!
I have used this method to calculate md5 inside of Android Application
private String getMD5(String file){
String md5 = "";
try {
MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5");
FileInputStream is = this.openFileInput(file);
DigestInputStream dis = new DigestInputStream(is, md);
byte data[] = new byte[1024];
#SuppressWarnings("unused")
int count;
while ((count = dis.read(data)) != -1) {
}
byte[] digest = md.digest();
for (int i=0; i < digest.length; i++) {
md5 += Integer.toString( ( digest[i] & 0xff ) + 0x100, 16).substring( 1 );
}
return md5;
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return md5;
}
With "the server md5" I guess you mean another file on the server containing an md5 hash.
So you could just download the md5 file, open it and compare the string inside with your calculated md5.
