DESCRIPTION

Since: CryptX-0.067

METHODS

new

 my $pk = Crypt::PK::Ed25519->new();
 #or
 my $pk = Crypt::PK::Ed25519->new($priv_or_pub_key_filename);
 #or
 my $pk = Crypt::PK::Ed25519->new(\$buffer_containing_priv_or_pub_key);

Support for password protected PEM keys

 my $pk = Crypt::PK::Ed25519->new($priv_pem_key_filename, $password);
 #or
 my $pk = Crypt::PK::Ed25519->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;

import_key

Loads private or public key in DER or PEM format.

 $pk->import_key($filename);
 #or
 $pk->import_key(\$buffer_containing_key);

Support for password protected PEM keys:

 $pk->import_key($filename, $password);
 #or
 $pk->import_key(\$buffer_containing_key, $password);

Loading private or public keys form perl hash:

 $pk->import_key($hashref);
 # the $hashref is either a key exported via key2hash
 $pk->import_key({
      curve => "ed25519",
      pub   => "A05D1AEA5830AC9A65CDFB384660D497E3697C46B419CF2CEC85DE8BD245459D",
      priv  => "45C109BA6FD24E8B67D23EFB6B92D99CD457E2137172C0D749FE2B5A0C142DAD",
 });
 # or a hash with items corresponding to JWK (JSON Web Key)
 $pk->import_key({
       kty => "OKP",
       crv => "Ed25519",
       d   => "RcEJum_STotn0j77a5LZnNRX4hNxcsDXSf4rWgwULa0",
       x   => "oF0a6lgwrJplzfs4RmDUl-NpfEa0Gc8s7IXei9JFRZ0",
 });

Supported key formats:

 # all formats can be loaded from a file
 my $pk = Crypt::PK::Ed25519->new($filename);
 # or from a buffer containing the key
 my $pk = Crypt::PK::Ed25519->new(\$buffer_with_key);

import_key_raw

Import raw public/private key - can load raw key data exported by export_key_raw.

 $pk->import_key_raw($key, 'public');
 $pk->import_key_raw($key, 'private');

export_key_der

 my $private_der = $pk->export_key_der('private');
 #or
 my $public_der = $pk->export_key_der('public');

export_key_pem

 my $private_pem = $pk->export_key_pem('private');
 #or
 my $public_pem = $pk->export_key_pem('public');

Support for password protected PEM keys

 my $private_pem = $pk->export_key_pem('private', $password);
 #or
 my $private_pem = $pk->export_key_pem('private', $password, $cipher);
 # supported ciphers: 'DES-CBC'
 #                    'DES-EDE3-CBC'
 #                    'SEED-CBC'
 #                    'CAMELLIA-128-CBC'
 #                    'CAMELLIA-192-CBC'
 #                    'CAMELLIA-256-CBC'
 #                    'AES-128-CBC'
 #                    'AES-192-CBC'
 #                    'AES-256-CBC' (DEFAULT)

export_key_jwk

Exports public/private keys as a JSON Web Key (JWK).

 my $private_json_text = $pk->export_key_jwk('private');
 #or
 my $public_json_text = $pk->export_key_jwk('public');

Also exports public/private keys as a perl HASH with JWK structure.

 my $jwk_hash = $pk->export_key_jwk('private', 1);
 #or
 my $jwk_hash = $pk->export_key_jwk('public', 1);

BEWARE: For JWK support you need to have JSON module installed.

export_key_raw

Export raw public/private key

 my $private_bytes = $pk->export_key_raw('private');
 #or
 my $public_bytes = $pk->export_key_raw('public');

sign_message

 my $signature = $priv->sign_message($message);

verify_message

 my $valid = $pub->verify_message($signature, $message)

is_private

 my $rv = $pk->is_private;
 # 1 .. private key loaded
 # 0 .. public key loaded
 # undef .. no key loaded

key2hash

 my $hash = $pk->key2hash;
 # returns hash like this (or undef if no key loaded):
 {
   curve => "ed25519",
   # raw public key as a hexadecimal string
   pub   => "A05D1AEA5830AC9A65CDFB384660D497E3697C46B419CF2CEC85DE8BD245459D",
   # raw private key as a hexadecimal string. undef if key is public only
   priv  => "45C109BA6FD24E8B67D23EFB6B92D99CD457E2137172C0D749FE2B5A0C142DAD",
