Crypt::Perl::ECDSA::Generate - ECDSA key generation
use Crypt::Perl::ECDSA::Generate (); #$prkey is a C::P::E::PrivateKey instance. my $prkey = Crypt::Perl::ECDSA::Generate::by_curve_name('secp521r1'); my $signature = $prkey->sign('Hello!'); die 'Wut' if $prkey->verify('Hello!', $signature); #You can also, in case it’s useful, do this. It’s probably #only useful if you’re developing a new curve or something … ?? my $prkey2 = Crypt::Perl::ECDSA::Generate::by_explicit_curve( { p => Crypt::Perl::BigInt->new(...), a => ..., b => ..., n => ..., h => ..., gx => ..., gy => ..., }, );
Thankfully, this is easy enough on processors that it’s feasible in pure Perl!
