Assignment 7

This lab assignment for CS302 focuses on exploring the OpenSSL library through two main tasks: RSA encryption and decryption, and Diffie-Hellman key exchange. Students are required to install OpenSSL, generate key pairs, and perform encryption and decryption of files, as well as securely generate a shared secret between two parties. The assignment includes specific OpenSSL commands and steps to complete each task.

This assignment is about exploring the OpenSSL library. Follow the below

instructions:

• Install OpenSSL Win64 OpenSSL v3.2.1 to your computer

using the following site:

https://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html • Run the

.exe file and install OpenSSL in the system. Open the command

prompt (cmd) and redirect the path to the bin folder.

Task 1: RSA Encryption and Decryption


Perform encryption and decryption of a file using the RSA public-key

encryption technique with OpenSSL commands.

Steps:
1. Generate a public and private key pair using

the following OpenSSL commands:

openssl genrsa -out private.key 512 openssl

rsa -in private.key -pubout -out public.key


2. Encrypt the file using the public key: openssl

rsautl -encrypt -inkey public.key -pubin -in file.txt -

out file.enc

3. Decrypt the file using the private key:

openssl rsautl -decrypt -inkey private.key -in

file.enc -out file.dec

Note: In OpenSSL 3.0 and later, rsautl has been deprecated, and you should
use pkeyutl instead.
Task 2: Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange
Use OpenSSL to perform a Diffie-Hellman (DH) key exchange to securely
generate a shared secret between two parties.
Steps:
1. Generate DH parameters:

openssl dhparam -out dhparam.pem 2048


2. Generate private and public keys for Party A:

openssl genpkey -paramfile dhparam.pem -out

privateA.pem openssl pkey -in privateA.pem -pubout -out

publicA.pem

3. Generate private and public keys for Party B:

openssl genpkey -paramfile dhparam.pem -out

privateB.pem openssl pkey -in privateB.pem -pubout -

out publicB.pem 4. Derive shared secret for Party A

(using Party B’s public key):


openssl pkeyutl -derive -inkey privateA.pem -peerkey

publicB.pem -out shared_secret_A.bin

5. Derive shared secret for Party B (using Party A’s public key):

openssl pkeyutl -derive -inkey privateB.pem -peerkey

publicA.pem -out shared_secret_B.bin

6. Verify that both shared secrets are the same:

Compare the contents of shared_secret_A.bin and shared_secret_B.bin.
