Detailed Description

Implementation of RSA-based cryptographic schemes.

Code samples illustrating the use of class RSA can be found in the Cookbook section Handling Public and Private Keys.

The RSA public key cryptosystem is specified in:


Public Types

 pkcs1 = 1
 Perform PKCS#1 v1.5 compliant operations.
 x931 = 2
 Perform ANSI x9.31 compliant operations.
 pss = 3
 Use PSS (PKCS#1 v2.1).
enum  {
  pkcs1 = 1,
  x931 = 2,
  pss = 3
}
 Standards compliance flags. More...

Member Enumeration Documentation

anonymous enum

Standards compliance flags.

Enumerator:
pkcs1  Perform PKCS#1 v1.5 compliant operations.
x931  Perform ANSI x9.31 compliant operations.
pss  Use PSS (PKCS#1 v2.1).

Member Function Documentation

str asn1private (  )  const

Get this object's ASN.1 DER-encoded private key.

Returns:
a str containing this object's ASN.1 DER-encoded private key (in the clear!)

int check (  )  const

Check the consistency of the public and private key components in this object.

Returns:
0 (success, i.e., the key is OK)
CDK_NO_KEY
CDK_KEYPAIR_INCONSISTENT, if the public key doesn't match the private key

void clear ( void   )  [inline]

Clear this object.

Remarks:
Modifies: size and public key are zeroized; other components are zeroized by their own destructors when the object is destroyed.

int decrypt ( const num &  c,
num &  x 
) const

Decrypt a specified buffer.

Parameters:
c a num representing the ciphertext to decrypt
x a num to receive the plaintext output
Returns:
0 (success)
CDK_ERROR_STATE

int encrypt ( const num &  m,
num &  x 
) const

Encrypt a specified buffer.

Parameters:
m a num representing the message to encrypt
x a num to receive the ciphertext output
Returns:
0 (success)
CDK_ERROR_STATE

int genpub (  ) 

Generate a public key based on the private key in this object.

Returns:
0

bool hasPrivate (  )  const [inline]

Predicate used to test whether this object contains a private key.

Returns:
true, if this object contains a private key
false, otherwise

bool hasPublic (  )  const [inline]

Predicate used to test whether this object contains a public key.

Returns:
true, if this object contains a public key
false otherwise

int loadasn1private ( const str &  b1  ) 

Load an ASN.1 DER-encoded private key.

Parameters:
b1 the ASN.1 DER-encoded private key to be loaded
Returns:
0 (success)
CDK_PARSE_ERROR
CDK_INVALID_KEY_TOO_MANY_PRIMES
Remarks:
Only private keys containing 2, 3, or 4 primes are supported.

int loadpriv ( const num &  p1,
const num &  q1 
) [inline]

Parameters:
p1 the first prime
q1 the second prime
Returns:
0

int loadpriv ( const num &  p1  )  [inline]

Load (raw) RSA private key into this object (as a single prime factor of the modulus).

Parameters:
p1 the private key to load into this object.
Returns:
0
Remarks:
This call clears the object's public key.

int loadpub ( const str &  pubk  ) 

Load an ASN.1 DER-encoded public key.

Parameters:
pubk the ASN.1 DER-encoded RSA public key to be loaded
Returns:
0 (success)
