NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

### OO interface

#Encryption: Alice
my $pub = Crypt::PK::RSA->new('Bob_pub_rsa1.der');
my $ct = $pub->encrypt("secret message");
#
#Encryption: Bob (received ciphertext $ct)
my $priv = Crypt::PK::RSA->new('Bob_priv_rsa1.der');
my $pt = $priv->decrypt($ct);

#Signature: Alice
my $priv = Crypt::PK::RSA->new('Alice_priv_rsa1.der');
my $sig = $priv->sign_message($message);
#
#Signature: Bob (received $message + $sig)
my $pub = Crypt::PK::RSA->new('Alice_pub_rsa1.der');
$pub->verify_message($sig, $message) or die "ERROR";

#Key generation
my $pk = Crypt::PK::RSA->new();
$pk->generate_key(256, 65537);
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 = rsa_encrypt('Bob_pub_rsa1.der', "secret message");
#Encryption: Bob (received ciphertext $ct)
my $pt = rsa_decrypt('Bob_priv_rsa1.der', $ct);

#Signature: Alice
my $sig = rsa_sign_message('Alice_priv_rsa1.der', $message);
#Signature: Bob (received $message + $sig)
rsa_verify_message('Alice_pub_rsa1.der', $sig, $message) or die "ERROR";
