README for Crypt::RSA

Introduction

   Crypt::RSA is a pure-perl, cleanroom implementation of the RSA
   public-key cryptosystem. It uses Math::Pari(3), a perl interface to the
   blazingly fast PARI library, for big integer arithmetic and number
   theoretic computations.

   Crypt::RSA provides arbitrary size key-pair generation, plaintext-aware
   encryption (OAEP) and digital signatures with appendix (PSS). For
   compatibility with SSLv3, RSAREF2, PGP and other applications that
   follow the PKCS #1 v1.5 standard, it also provides PKCS #1 v1.5
   encryption and signatures.

Documentation

   Crypt::RSA has extensive POD documentation. Start at

       "perldoc lib/Crypt/RSA.pm"
    or "perldoc Crypt::RSA"

Stability

   Crypt::RSA is considered to be stable, production
   quality code.
