I am trying to sign a file with the private key and the hash algorithm read from a certificate and I cannot find a way to do it programmatically:
public byte[] SignFile(string filePath, X509Certificate2 certificate)
{
using var rsaPrivateKey = certificate.GetRSAPrivateKey();
using var fileStream = this.fileSystem.OpenFile(filePath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
var hashAlgorithmFromTheCertificate = HashAlgorithmName.SHA1; // <== How to get this from the certificate instead of hard-coding it?
return rsaPrivateKey!.SignData(fileStream, hashAlgorithmFromTheCertificate, RSASignaturePadding.Pss);
}
I have seen the Reflection-based solution here:
How to retrieve the Signature hash algorithm friendly name using c# cryptography?
Is there a clean way to do it or are we stuck with Reflection?
I am using:
BouncyCastle.Cryptography Version=”2.4.0″
Thanks in advance
I have tried to use:
var algoName = HashAlgorithmName.FromOid(certificate.SignatureAlgorithm.Value!);
But it throws:
The specified OID (XXXXXXXXXXXX) does not represent a known hash algorithm
