It also allows for decryption, signatures and signature verification. I: Many of the methods in this package can croak, so use eval, or Error.pm's try/catch mechanism to capture errors. Also, while some methods from earlier versions of this package return true on success, this (never documented) behavior is no longer the case. =head1 Class Methods =over =item new_public_key Create a new Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA object by loading a public key in from a string containing Base64/DER-encoding of either the PKCS1 or X.509 representation of the key. The string should include the -----BEGIN...----- and -----END...----- lines. The padding is set to PKCS1_OAEP, but can be changed with the use_xxx_padding methods =cut sub new_public_key { my ($proto, $p_key_string) = @_; if ($p_key_string =~ /^-----BEGIN RSA PUBLIC KEY-----/) { return $proto->_new_public_key_pkcs1($p_key_string); } elsif ($p_key_string =~ /^-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----/) { return $proto->_new_public_key_x509($p_key_string); } else { croak "unrecognized key format"; } } =item new_private_key Create a new Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA object by loading a private key in from an string containing the Base64/DER encoding of the PKCS1 representation of the key. The string should include the -----BEGIN...----- and -----END...----- lines. The padding is set to PKCS1_OAEP, but can be changed with use_xxx_padding. =item generate_key Create a new Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA object by constructing a private/public key pair. The first (mandetory) argument is the key size, while the second optional argument specifies the public exponent (the default public exponent is 65537). The padding is set to PKCS1_OAEP, but can be changed with use_xxx_padding methods. =item new_key_from_parameters Given Crypt::OpenSSL::Bignum objects for n, e, and optionally d, p, and q, where p and q are the prime factors of n, e is the public exponent and d is the private exponent, create a new Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA object using these values. If p and q are provided and d is undef, d is computed. Note that while p and q are not necessary for a private key, their presence will speed up computation. =cut sub new_key_from_parameters { my($proto, $n, $e, $d, $p, $q) = @_; return $proto->_new_key_from_parameters (map { $_ ? $_->pointer_copy() : 0 } $n, $e, $d, $p, $q); } =item import_random_seed Import a random seed from Crypt::OpenSSL::Random, since the OpenSSL libraries won't allow sharing of random structures across perl XS modules. =cut sub import_random_seed { until (_random_status()) { _random_seed(Crypt::OpenSSL::Random::random_bytes(20)); } } =back =head1 Instance Methods =over =item DESTROY Clean up after ourselves. In particular, erase and free the memory occupied by the RSA key structure. =item get_public_key_string Return the Base64/DER-encoded PKCS1 representation of the public key. This string has header and footer lines: -----BEGIN RSA PUBLIC KEY------ -----END RSA PUBLIC KEY------ =item get_public_key_x509_string Return the Base64/DER-encoded representation of the "subject public key", suitable for use in X509 certificates. This string has header and footer lines: -----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY------ -----END PUBLIC KEY------ and is the format that is produced by running C. =item get_private_key_string Return the DER-encoded PKCS1 representation of the private key. =item encrypt Encrypt a binary "string" using the public (portion of the) key. =item decrypt Decrypt a binary "string". Croaks if the key is public only. =item private_encrypt Encrypt a binary "string" using the private key. Croaks if the key is public only. =item public_decrypt Decrypt a binary "string" using the public (portion of the) key. =item sign Sign a string using the secret (portion of the) key. =item verify Check the signature on a text. =item use_no_padding Use raw RSA encryption. This mode should only be used to implement cryptographically sound padding modes in the application code. Encrypting user data directly with RSA is insecure. =item use_pkcs1_padding Use PKCS #1 v1.5 padding. This currently is the most widely used mode of padding. =item use_pkcs1_oaep_padding Use EME-OAEP padding as defined in PKCS #1 v2.0 with SHA-1, MGF1 and an empty encoding parameter. This mode of padding is recommended for all new applications. It is the default mode used by Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA. =item use_sslv23_padding Use PKCS #1 v1.5 padding with an SSL-specific modification that denotes that the server is SSL3 capable. =item use_md5_hash Use the RFC 1321 MD5 hashing algorithm by Ron Rivest when signing and verifying messages. =item use_sha1_hash Use the RFC 3174 Secure Hashing Algorithm (FIPS 180-1) when signing and verifying messages. This is the default. =item use_sha224_hash, use_sha256_hash, use_sha384_hash, use_sha512_hash These FIPS 180-2 hash algorithms, for use when signing and verifying messages, are only available with newer openssl versions (>= 0.9.8). =item use_ripemd160_hash Dobbertin, Bosselaers and Preneel's RIPEMD hashing algorithm when signing and verifying messages. =item size Returns the size, in bytes, of the key. All encrypted text will be of this size, and depending on the padding mode used, the length of the text to be encrypted should be: =over =item pkcs1_oaep_padding at most 42 bytes less than this size. =item pkcs1_padding or sslv23_padding at most 11 bytes less than this size. =item no_padding exactly this size. =back =item check_key This function validates the RSA key, returning a true value if the key is valid, and a false value otherwise. Croaks if the key is public only. =item get_key_parameters Return Crypt::OpenSSL::Bignum objects representing the values of n, e, d, p, q, d mod (p-1), d mod (q-1), and 1/q mod p, where p and q are the prime factors of n, e is the public exponent and d is the private exponent. Some of these values may return as undef; only n and e will be defined for a public key. The Crypt::OpenSSL::Bignum module must be installed for this to work. =item is_private Return true if this is a private key, and false if it is private only. =cut sub get_key_parameters { return map { $_ ? Crypt::OpenSSL::Bignum->bless_pointer($_) : undef } shift->_get_key_parameters(); } =back =head1 BUGS There is a small memory leak when generating new keys of more than 512 bits. =head1 AUTHOR Ian Robertson, iroberts@cpan.org.
