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";

DESCRIPTION

The module provides a full featured RSA implementation.

  #or
  my $pk = Crypt::PK::RSA->new($priv_or_pub_key_filename);
  #or
  my $pk = Crypt::PK::RSA->new(\$buffer_containing_priv_or_pub_key);

Support for password protected PEM keys

  my $pk = Crypt::PK::RSA->new($priv_pem_key_filename, $password);
  #or
  my $pk = Crypt::PK::RSA->new(\$buffer_containing_priv_pem_key, $password);

generate_key

Uses Yarrow-based cryptographically strong random number generator seeded with random data taken from /dev/random (UNIX) or CryptGenRandom (Win32).

 $pk->generate_key($size, $e);
 # $size .. key size: 128-512 bytes (DEFAULT is 256)
 # $e ..... exponent: 3, 17, 257 or 65537 (DEFAULT is 65537)

OpenSSL interoperability

 ### let's have:
 # RSA private key in PEM format - rsakey.priv.pem
 # RSA public key in PEM format  - rsakey.pub.pem
 # data file to be signed or encrypted - input.data

Encrypt by OpenSSL, decrypt by Crypt::PK::RSA

Create encrypted file (from commandline):

 openssl rsautl -encrypt -inkey rsakey.pub.pem -pubin -out input.encrypted.rsa -in input.data

Decrypt file (Perl code):

  use Crypt::PK::RSA;
  use File::Slurp 'read_file';

  my $pkrsa = Crypt::PK::RSA->new("rsakey.priv.pem");
  my $encfile = read_file("input.encrypted.rsa", binmode=>':raw');
  my $plaintext = $pkrsa->decrypt($encfile, 'v1.5');
  print $plaintext;

Encrypt by Crypt::PK::RSA, decrypt by OpenSSL

Create encrypted file (Perl code):

  use Crypt::PK::RSA;
  use File::Slurp 'write_file';

  my $plaintext = 'secret message';
  my $pkrsa = Crypt::PK::RSA->new("rsakey.pub.pem");
  my $encrypted = $pkrsa->encrypt($plaintext, 'v1.5');
  write_file("input.encrypted.rsa", {binmode=>':raw'}, $encrypted);

Decrypt file (from commandline):

 openssl rsautl -decrypt -inkey rsakey.priv.pem -in input.encrypted.rsa

Sign by OpenSSL, verify by Crypt::PK::RSA

Create signature (from commandline):

 openssl dgst -sha1 -sign rsakey.priv.pem -out input.sha1-rsa.sig input.data

Verify signature (Perl code):

 use Crypt::PK::RSA;
 use Crypt::Digest 'digest_file';
 use File::Slurp 'read_file';

 my $pkrsa = Crypt::PK::RSA->new("rsakey.pub.pem");
 my $signature = read_file("input.sha1-rsa.sig", binmode=>':raw');
 my $valid = $pkrsa->verify_hash($signature, digest_file("SHA1", "input.data"), "SHA1", "v1.5");
 print $valid ? "SUCCESS" : "FAILURE";

Sign by Crypt::PK::RSA, verify by OpenSSL

Create signature (Perl code):

 use Crypt::PK::RSA;
 use Crypt::Digest 'digest_file';
 use File::Slurp 'write_file';

 my $pkrsa = Crypt::PK::RSA->new("rsakey.priv.pem");
 my $signature = $pkrsa->sign_hash(digest_file("SHA1", "input.data"), "SHA1", "v1.5");
 write_file("input.sha1-rsa.sig", {binmode=>':raw'}, $signature);

Verify signature (from commandline):

 openssl dgst -sha1 -verify rsakey.pub.pem -signature input.sha1-rsa.sig input.data

Keys generated by Crypt::PK::RSA

Generate keys (Perl code):

 use Crypt::PK::RSA;
 use File::Slurp 'write_file';

 my $pkrsa = Crypt::PK::RSA->new;
 $pkrsa->generate_key(256, 65537);
 write_file("rsakey.pub.der",  {binmode=>':raw'}, $pkrsa->export_key_der('public'));
 write_file("rsakey.priv.der", {binmode=>':raw'}, $pkrsa->export_key_der('private'));
 write_file("rsakey.pub.pem",  $pkrsa->export_key_pem('public_x509'));
 write_file("rsakey.priv.pem", $pkrsa->export_key_pem('private'));
 write_file("rsakey-passwd.priv.pem", $pkrsa->export_key_pem('private', 'secret'));

Use keys by OpenSSL:

 openssl rsa -in rsakey.priv.der -text -inform der
 openssl rsa -in rsakey.priv.pem -text
 openssl rsa -in rsakey-passwd.priv.pem -text -inform pem -passin pass:secret
 openssl rsa -in rsakey.pub.der -pubin -text -inform der
 openssl rsa -in rsakey.pub.pem -pubin -text

Keys generated by OpenSSL

Generate keys:

 openssl genrsa -out rsakey.priv.pem 1024
 openssl rsa -in rsakey.priv.pem -out rsakey.priv.der -outform der
 openssl rsa -in rsakey.priv.pem -out rsakey.pub.pem -pubout
 openssl rsa -in rsakey.priv.pem -out rsakey.pub.der -outform der -pubout
 openssl rsa -in rsakey.priv.pem -passout pass:secret -des3 -out rsakey-passwd.priv.pem

Load keys (Perl code):

 use Crypt::PK::RSA;
 use File::Slurp 'write_file';

 my $pkrsa = Crypt::PK::RSA->new;
 $pkrsa->import_key("rsakey.pub.der");
 $pkrsa->import_key("rsakey.priv.der");
 $pkrsa->import_key("rsakey.pub.pem");
 $pkrsa->import_key("rsakey.priv.pem");
 $pkrsa->import_key("rsakey-passwd.priv.pem", "secret");
