Programmatically input data in X509 Certificate using OpenSSL - c

I am trying to create a ecdsa certificate but I would like to generate it programatically. I am using openssl and C programming.
When I generate a certificate from the command line multiple questions are asked me to answer in other to use in the certificate.
I would like to know how to define this questions, input this data programatically.
This is what I have found on the web, but I don't understand how to insert more information and this really works:
X509 *x;
x=X509_new();
X509_NAME *name = X509_get_subject_name(x);
X509_set_version(x, 2);
ASN1_INTEGER_set(X509_get_serialNumber(x), 3);
X509_gmtime_adj(X509_get_notBefore(x), 0);
X509_gmtime_adj(X509_get_notAfter(x), (long) 60 * 60 * 24 * 365);
X509_set_pubkey(x, pk);
X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(name, "C", MBSTRING_ASC, (const unsigned char*) "PT", -1, -1, 0);
The X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt function I realise it's the answer to the country, but what does this "C" means? How is this function composed? Can I put whatever I want in the place of "C" and in the place of "PT"?

The C is the standard way of denoting the country and PT is the correct selection for Portugal (see this list for other country options).
You can use the X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt function to set other values in the distinguished name, using the correct prefix:
C = country
ST = state
L = locality
O = organisation
OU = organisational unit
CN = common name
Only the country field has a fixed range of choices.

using lookup tables to plot a ggplot and table

I'm creating a shiny app and i'm letting the user choose what data that should be displayed in a plot and a table. This choice is done through 3 different input variables that contain 14, 4 and two choices respectivly.
ui <- dashboardPage(
dashboardHeader(),
dashboardSidebar(
selectInput(inputId = "DataSource", label = "Data source", choices =
c("Restoration plots", "all semi natural grasslands")),
selectInput(inputId = "Variabel", label = "Variable", choices =
choicesVariables)),
#choicesVariables definition is omitted here, because it's very long but it
#contains 14 string values
selectInput(inputId = "Factor", label = "Factor", choices = c("Company
type", "Region and type of application", "Approved or not approved
applications", "Age group" ))
),
dashboardBody(
plotOutput("thePlot"),
tableOutput("theTable")
))
This adds up to 73 choices (yes, i know the math doesn't add up there, but some choices are invalid). I would like to do this using a lookup table so a created one with every valid combination of choices like this:
rad1<-c(rep("Company type",20), rep("Region and type of application",20),
rep("Approved or not approved applications", 13), rep("Age group", 20))
rad2<-choicesVariable[c(1:14,1,4,5,9,10,11, 1:14,1,4,5,9,10,11, 1:7,9:14,
1:14,1,4,5,9,10,11)]
rad3<-c(rep("Restoration plots",14),rep("all semi natural grasslands",6),
rep("Restoration plots",14), rep("all semi natural grasslands",6),
rep("Restoration plots",27), rep("all semi natural grasslands",6))
rad4<-1:73
letaLista<-data.frame(rad1,rad2,rad3, rad4)
colnames(letaLista) <- c("Factor", "Variabel", "rest_alla", "id")
Now its easy to use subset to only get the choice that the user made. But how do i use this information to plot the plot and table without using a 73 line long ifelse statment?
I tried to create some sort of multidimensional array that could hold all the tables (and one for the plots) but i couldn't make it work. My experience with these kind of arrays is limited and this might be a simple issue, but any hints would be helpful!
My dataset that is the foundation for the plots and table consists of dataframe with 23 variables, factors and numerical. The plots and tabels are then created using the following code for all 73 combinations
s_A1 <- summarySE(Samlad_info, measurevar="Dist_brukcentrum",
groupvars="Companytype")
s_A1 <- s_A1[2:6,]
p_A1=ggplot(s_A1, aes(x=Companytype,
y=Dist_brukcentrum))+geom_bar(position=position_dodge(), stat="identity") +
geom_errorbar(aes(ymin=Dist_brukcentrum-se,
ymax=Dist_brukcentrum+se),width=.2,position=position_dodge(.9))+
scale_y_continuous(name = "") + scale_x_discrete(name = "")
where summarySE is the following function, burrowed from cookbook for R
summarySE <- function(data=NULL, measurevar, groupvars=NULL, na.rm=TRUE,
conf.interval=.95, .drop=TRUE) {
# New version of length which can handle NA's: if na.rm==T, don't count them
length2 <- function (x, na.rm=FALSE) {
if (na.rm) sum(!is.na(x))
else length(x)
}
# This does the summary. For each group's data frame, return a vector with
# N, mean, and sd
datac <- ddply(data, groupvars, .drop=.drop,
.fun = function(xx, col) {
c(N = length2(xx[[col]], na.rm=na.rm),
mean = mean (xx[[col]], na.rm=na.rm),
sd = sd (xx[[col]], na.rm=na.rm)
)
},
measurevar
)
# Rename the "mean" column
datac <- rename(datac, c("mean" = measurevar))
datac$se <- datac$sd / sqrt(datac$N) # Calculate standard error of the mean
# Confidence interval multiplier for standard error
# Calculate t-statistic for confidence interval:
# e.g., if conf.interval is .95, use .975 (above/below), and use df=N-1
ciMult <- qt(conf.interval/2 + .5, datac$N-1)
datac$ci <- datac$se * ciMult
return(datac)
}
The code in it's entirety is a bit to large but i hope this may clarify what i'm trying to do.
Well, thanks to florian's comment i think i might have found a solution my self. I'll present it here but leave the question open as there is probably far neater ways of doing it.
I rigged up the plots (that was created as lists by ggplot) into a list
plotList <- list(p_A1, p_A2, p_A3...)
tableList <- list(s_A1, s_A2, s_A3...)
I then used subset on my lookup table to get the matching id of the list to select the right plot and table.
output$thePlot <-renderPlot({
plotValue<-subset(letaLista, letaLista$Factor==input$Factor &
letaLista$Variabel== input$Variabel & letaLista$rest_alla==input$DataSource)
plotList[as.integer(plotValue[1,4])]
})
output$theTable <-renderTable({
plotValue<-subset(letaLista, letaLista$Factor==input$Factor &
letaLista$Variabel== input$Variabel & letaLista$rest_alla==input$DataSource)
skriva <- tableList[as.integer(plotValue[4])]
print(skriva)
})

How to append or change data within a file

Hiya i have made a program that stores the player name and strength..Here is the code:
data = {
"PLAYER":name2,
"STRENGTH":str(round(strength, 2)),
}
with open("data2.txt", "w", encoding="utf-8") as file:
file.write(repr(data))
file.close()
So this stores the data so what to i do if i wanna append/change the value after a certain action usch as a 'BATTLE'
Is it possible the get the variable of 'STRENGTH' and then change the number?
At the moment to read data from the external file 'DATA1.txt'i am using this code:
with open("data1.txt", "r", encoding="utf-8") as file:
data_string = file.readline()
data = eval(data_string)
# (data["STRENGTH"])
S1 = (float(data["STRENGTH"]))
file.close()
Now i can do something with the variable --> 'S1'
Here is the external text file 'data1.txt'
{'PLAYER': 'Oreo', 'STRENGTH': '11.75'}
... But i wanna change the strength value after a "battle" many thanks
Maybe you're not understanding Python dict semantics?
Seems to me you're doing a lot of unnecessary things like S1 = (float(data['STRENGTH'])) to try to manipulate and change values when you could be doing really simple stuff.
>>> data = {'PLAYER': 'Oreo', 'STRENGTH': '11.75'}
>>> data['STRENGTH'] = float(data['STRENGTH'])
>>> data
{'PLAYER': 'Oreo', 'STRENGTH': 11.75}
>>> data['STRENGTH'] += 1
>>> data
{'PLAYER': 'Oreo', 'STRENGTH': 12.75}
Maybe you should give Native Data Types -- Dive Into Python 3 a read to see if it clears things up.

Matlab string manipulation

I need help with matlab using 'strtok' to find an ID in a text file and then read in or manipulate the rest of the row that is contained where that ID is. I also need this function to find (using strtok preferably) all occurrences of that same ID and group them in some way so that I can find averages. On to the sample code:
ID list being input:
(This is the KOIName variable)
010447529
010468501
010481335
010529637
010603247......etc.
File with data format:
(This is the StarData variable)
ID>>>>Values
002141865 3.867144e-03 742.000000 0.001121 16.155089 6.297494 0.001677
002141865 5.429278e-03 1940.000000 0.000477 16.583748 11.945627 0.001622
002141865 4.360715e-03 1897.000000 0.000667 16.863406 13.438383 0.001460
002141865 3.972467e-03 2127.000000 0.000459 16.103060 21.966853 0.001196
002141865 8.542932e-03 2094.000000 0.000421 17.452007 18.067214 0.002490
Do not be mislead by the examples I posted, that first number is repeated for about 15 lines then the ID changes and that goes for an entire set of different ID's, then they are repeated as a whole group again, think [1,2,3],[1,2,3], the main difference is the values trailing the ID which I need to average out in matlab.
My current code is:
function Avg_Koi
N = evalin('base', 'KOIName');
file_1 = evalin('base', 'StarData');
global result;
for i=1:size(N)
[id, values] = strtok(file_1);
result = result(id);
result = result(values)
end
end
Thanks for any assistance.
You let us guess a lot, so I guess you want something like this:
load StarData.txt
IDs = { 010447529;
010468501;
010481335;
010529637;
010603247;
002141865}
L = numel(IDs);
values = cell(L,1);
% Iteration through all arrays and creating an cell array with matrices for every ID
for ii=1:L;
ID = IDs{ii};
ID_first = find(StarData(:,1) == ID,1,'first');
ID_last = find(StarData(:,1) == ID,1,'last');
values{ii} = StarData( ID_first:ID_last , 2:end );
end
When you now access the index ii=6 adressing the ID = 002141865
MatrixOfCertainID6 = values{6};
you get:
0.0038671440 742 0.001121 16.155089 6.2974940 0.001677
0.0054292780 1940 0.000477 16.583748 11.945627 0.001622
0.0043607150 1897 0.000667 16.863406 13.438383 0.001460
0.0039724670 2127 0.000459 16.103060 21.966853 0.001196
0.0085429320 2094 0.000421 17.452007 18.067214 0.002490
... for further calculations.

Read from text file and assign data to new variable

Python 3 program allows people to choose from list of employee names.
Data held on text file look like this: ('larry', 3, 100)
(being the persons name, weeks worked and payment)
I need a way to assign each part of the text file to a new variable,
so that the user can enter a new amount of weeks and the program calculates the new payment.
Below is my code and attempt at figuring it out.
import os
choices = [f for f in os.listdir(os.curdir) if f.endswith(".txt")]
print (choices)
emp_choice = input("choose an employee:")
file = open(emp_choice + ".txt")
data = file.readlines()
name = data[0]
weeks_worked = data[1]
weekly_payment= data[2]
new_weeks = int(input ("Enter new number of weeks"))
new_payment = new_weeks * weekly_payment
print (name + "will now be paid" + str(new_payment))
currently you are assigning the first three lines form the file to name, weeks_worked and weekly_payment. but what you want (i think) is to separate a single line, formatted as ('larry', 3, 100) (does each file have only one line?).
so you probably want code like:
from re import compile
# your code to choose file
line_format = compile(r"\s*\(\s*'([^']*)'\s*,\s*(\d+)\s*,\s*(\d+)\s*\)")
file = open(emp_choice + ".txt")
line = file.readline() # read the first line only
match = line_format.match(line)
if match:
name, weeks_worked, weekly_payment = match.groups()
else:
raise Exception('Could not match %s' % line)
# your code to update information
the regular expression looks complicated, but is really quite simple:
\(...\) matches the parentheses in the line
\s* matches optional spaces (it's not clear to me if you have spaces or not
in various places between words, so this matches just in case)
\d+ matches a number (1 or more digits)
[^']* matches anything except a quote (so matches the name)
(...) (without the \ backslashes) indicates a group that you want to read
afterwards by calling .groups()
and these are built from simpler parts (like * and + and \d) which are described at http://docs.python.org/2/library/re.html
if you want to repeat this for many lines, you probably want something like:
name, weeks_worked, weekly_payment = [], [], []
for line in file.readlines():
match = line_format.match(line)
if match:
name.append(match.group(1))
weeks_worked.append(match.group(2))
weekly_payment.append(match.group(3))
else:
raise ...

Way to assign multiple files to set variable names?

Is there a way to assign file names to set varibles using a GUI? Say I have 6 file sets which contain 4 colors each (blue, green, nir, red). There are 24 files in total, so i'd need 24 variables. And I want the set varialbes to be something like
blue1
green1
nir1
red1
blue2
green2
nir2
red2
etc...
Currently I'm trying to use GUIDE to creat a custom GUI that will allow the user to select the files they wish and have them assigned to certain variables. I am thinking something along the lines of having 24 popupmenus that are attached to a file directory and allows the user to select which file they want, and then it will assign that file and it's path to a variable (blue1 for example) I also want 24 check boxes to associate with an if statement
Let's say popupmenu1 is associated with the variable blue1 and checkbox1
if checkbox1 == checked
do import
elseif checkbox1 == unchecked
fill with zeros
I have the basic frame of the GUI created, I am just unclear on how to apply the file select and then associate the if statements, etc...
If you know the variable files in advance, it's bad practice (look also here and here) to use string defined variable names like this:
var1name = 'blue';
var2name = 'red';
% etc.
% load data
datablue=rand(4,1);
datared =rand(4,1);
% assign
eval([var1name '1 = datablue(1);']);
eval([var2name '1 = datared (1);']);
% etc.
eval([var1name '2 = datablue(2);']);
eval([var2name '1 = datared (2);']);
% etc
It's much easier and better to just use an ordinary array, given the variable name is not changing or application dependend, which in my example I already have as datablue and datared.
Another option if you'd like user defined variable names is to use an array of structs:
var1name = 'blue';
var2name = 'red';
sample(1).(var1name) = datablue(1);
sample(1).(var2name) = datared (1);
% ...
sample(2).(var1name) = datablue(2);
sample(2).(var2name) = datared (2);
Try some of these out, and only if you have a very good reason, resort to eval!
for k = 1:6
blue(k) = sprintf('blue%d', k);
green(k) = sprintf('green%d', k);
nir(k) = sprintf('nir%d', k);
red(k) = sprintf('red%d', k);
end
This will create the variable names for you. Then you can use assignin (i believe) or eval to set the values to the variable names.
