NAME

Crypt::PK::DSA - Public key cryptography based on DSA

SYNOPSIS

### OO interface

#Encryption: Alice
my $pub = Crypt::PK::DSA->new('Bob_pub_dsa1.der'); 
my $ct = $pub->encrypt("secret message");
#
#Encryption: Bob (received ciphertext $ct)
my $priv = Crypt::PK::DSA->new('Bob_priv_dsa1.der');
my $pt = $priv->decrypt($ct);
 
#Signature: Alice
my $priv = Crypt::PK::DSA->new('Alice_priv_dsa1.der');
my $sig = $priv->sign($message);
#
#Signature: Bob (received $message + $sig)
my $pub = Crypt::PK::DSA->new('Alice_pub_dsa1.der');
$pub->verify($sig, $message) or die "ERROR";

#Shared secret
my $priv = Crypt::PK::DSA->new('Alice_priv_dsa1.der');
my $pub = Crypt::PK::DSA->new('Bob_pub_dsa1.der'); 
my $shared_secret = $priv->shared_secret($pub);

#Key generation
my $pk = Crypt::PK::DSA->new();
$pk->generate_key(30, 256);
my $private_der = $pk->export_key_der('private');
my $public_der = $pk->export_key_der('public');
my $private_pem = $pk->export_key_pem('private');
my $public_pem = $pk->export_key_pem('public');

### Functional interface

#Encryption: Alice
my $ct = dsa_encrypt('Bob_pub_dsa1.der', "secret message");
#Encryption: Bob (received ciphertext $ct)
my $pt = dsa_decrypt('Bob_priv_dsa1.der', $ct);
 
#Signature: Alice
my $sig = dsa_sign('Alice_priv_dsa1.der', $message);
#Signature: Bob (received $message + $sig)
dsa_verify('Alice_pub_dsa1.der', $sig, $message) or die "ERROR";

#Shared secret
my $shared_secret = dsa_shared_secret('Alice_priv_dsa1.der', 'Bob_pub_dsa1.der');
