Bronze IModern Encryption: Demonstrate Your Skills
Hi there,
I have completed all questions except for Q.10 which involves the decryption of an RSA-encrypted file.
To the best of my knowledge, a private key is required to decrypt this asymmetrically encrypted file, but I only see a public "public.pem" key in the "~/Desktop/Lab-Files" directory.
Am I missing something? I have completed all the other questions so I believe all necessary files/tokens should have already been generated.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Pete

Hi pete 👋 Thank you for posting this in the community!
I have tested this lab on my side and can confirm that everything is working as expected.
In this case, this lab is one of our Demonstrate Labs. This lab type serves as one final challenge in a series to test and consolidate your learning. For that reason, the hints I am able to provide here are a bit limited.However, I can confirm for you that the public.pem key you are seeing was generated in a previous task within the lab, and this is the key you are intended to use to complete this final task!
While I cannot provide more hints here, I do hope this is helpful in getting you in the right direction 😊

pete - any luck completing the lab after MaxCucchi's hint?
