Get RSA256 private and public key using azure keyvault service
I am trying my hands on Azure Key Vault cloud service. I followed a few msdn articles to create a key in azure key vault.
Here is my code
public async Task<RSA256Key> GenerateRSAKey(string keyName)
{
using (KeyVaultClient client = new KeyVaultClient(new KeyVaultClient.AuthenticationCallback(GetToken))) //GetToken returns access token to connect to Azure key vault
{
var newKeyParams = new NewKeyParameters()
{
Kty = "RSA",
CurveName= "P-256",
KeySize = 2048
};
KeyBundle rsa = await client.CreateKeyAsync(_config.VaultUrl, keyName, newKeyParams);
}
}
This code works fine, it creates a key in azure keyvault. I want to get the public and private keys from the key generated using the above code. The KeyBundle response has a JsonWebKey property. I inspected this property and found that on N and E has values.
{ "kid": "https://xxxx.vault.azure.net/keys/yyyy/zzzz", "kty": "RSA", "n": "wt1SiRuybjkoVwgbUJgHJY9W1WFDMHOzhKx3ewISCINWFgiH5RHOhGDqoIfFVuwGMk0mmnNXdVCFFrATYUPT0EhXqCv_9IDXSh9WW1VvvsZBp0nW1v8e80Mz_nDZ1DVgC2KY8G97JVyfomm6nZRcBVkklimmZEDl_oPpFg68rfnEz4qou-4DNMoF2k9U95xXZfusrFpP5IJnHaMqsCQTozIWu65sWv3I5sW3zRmx93nQWAbf0_FEf70SQ8qgDtP8IVKS7xd05epQkbPsPtI8KwW4tVUsmP7EJYaMxCvT-Y_bpdliwEWxIMTp6cwo3l7AWvb8YyAhPC1Z02Cliweo5Q", "e": "AQAB" }
I want to use the RSA 256 private key to sign a JWT.
