How to recover a RSA public key from a byte[] array?

Question

I'm wondering if it's possible to recover a RSA public key that I have converted to byte array previously.

byte[] keyBytes = publicKey.getEncoded(); 

Thanks for the help.

Answer 1

PublicKey publicKey =      KeyFactory.getInstance("RSA").generatePublic(new X509EncodedKeySpec(bytes)); 

For more info see this tutorial

Answer 2

For others who want to get private key instead of public key from byte array:

PrivateKey privateKey = KeyFactory.getInstance("RSA").generatePrivate(new PKCS8EncodedKeySpec(privateKeyBytes));
