CYPHERNET

encryption and decryption procedures of the session key encrypt_local_key and decrypt_remote_key


The procedures for encrypting and decrypting the session key encrypt_local_key and decrypt_remote_key are called in the get_common_key module. Both of these operations are performed in Extra Systems Cypher Net via the same long_power_mod function (modulo exponentiation), but they use different RSA keys: encryption is performed with one's own private key, and decryption is performed with the partner's public key.

typedef struct session_key_item
{
	unsigned char packed[PACKED_VALUE_LENTH];
	unsigned char unpacked[VALUE_LENTH];
} SESSIONKEYITEM;

SESSIONKEYITEM local_key, remote_key, common_key;

unsigned char crypted_local_key[PACKED_VALUE_LENTH], crypted_remote_key[PACKED_VALUE_LENTH];

void encrypt_local_key(void)
{
	unsigned char crypted_value[VALUE_LENTH];
	long_power_mod(local_key.unpacked, encrypt_rsa_key.exponent, encrypt_rsa_key.modulus, crypted_value);
	pack_value(crypted_value, crypted_local_key);
}

void decrypt_remote_key(void)
{
	unsigned char crypted_value[VALUE_LENTH];
	unpack_value(crypted_remote_key, crypted_value);
	long_power_mod(crypted_value, decrypt_rsa_key.exponent, decrypt_rsa_key.modulus, remote_key.unpacked);
	pack_value(remote_key.unpacked, remote_key.packed);
}

The algorithm for the pack_value and unpack_value procedures can be found here.
