Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA is an XS perl module designed to provide basic RSA functionality. It does this by providing a glue to the RSA functions in the OpenSSL library. In particular, it provides the following functions: new_public_key, new_private_key - create a key from a string generate_key - make a new key get_private_key_string - save key to a string get_public_key_string - save public portion of key to a string get_public_key_x509_string - save public portion of key to a string, using format compatibe with OpenSSL's command-line rsa tool encrypt, decrypt, private_encrypt, public_decrypt, sign, verify, use_pkcs1_oaep_padding, use_pkcs1_padding, use_sslv23_padding, use_no_padding use_md5_hash, use_sha1_hash, use_ripemd160_hash size - Returns the size, in bytes, of the key. check_key - checks the validity of a key. Bugs: There is no Crypt::CBC support. Copyright (c) 2001-2005 Ian Robertson. Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA is free software; you may redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.
