[xmlsec] xmlsec problem with decrypting EncryptedData using rsa 1.5 encrypted key for symmetric aes256-cbc algorithm key

[Dolf Andringa]

Hi Everyone.

I am trying to decrypt an xml message in python using XMLSec in python
(PyXMLSec) and run into an error message that seems to come from the C
xmlsec library.
I have found the examples on
http://pyxmlsec.labs.libre-entreprise.org/index.php?section=examples&id=11and
accordingly did the following, but am receiving errors, which I really
don't understand.
The xml seems to be fine, since I can read the xml file and find the
EncryptedData node.
The private key file is an RSA private key, which is valid and I can
successfully use it in other cryptographic libraries.
I hope anyone can help. Thanks in advance for the effort.

Cheers,

Dolf.

The python code:

private_key_file='my.private.key'
xmlstring=open('temp.xml','rb').read()

import libxml2
import xmlsec

libxml2.initParser()
libxml2.substituteEntitiesDefault(1)
xmlsec.init()
xmlsec.cryptoAppInit(None)
xmlsec.cryptoInit()

doc=libxml2.parseMemory(xmlstring,len(xmlstring))
node=xmlsec.findNode(doc.getRootElement(),xmlsec.NodeEncryptedData,xmlsec.EncNs)
node.get_name()
'''EncryptedData'''
print(node.children)
'''<EncryptionMethod Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#aes256-cbc
"/>'''
key=xmlsec.keyReadBinaryFile(xmlsec.keyDataRsaId(),private_key_file)
