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.
