NAME
Mail::DKIM::PrivateKey - a private key loaded in memory for DKIM signing
SYNOPSIS
my $key1 = Mail::DKIM::PrivateKey->load( File => "/path/to/private.key"); my $key2 = Mail::DKIM::PrivateKey->load( Data => $base64); # use the loaded key in a DKIM signing object my $dkim = Mail::DKIM::Signer->new( Key => $key2, );
CONSTRUCTOR
load() - loads a private key into memory my $key1 = Mail::DKIM::PrivateKey->load( File => "/path/to/private.key"); Loads the Base64-encoded key from the specified file. my $key2 = Mail::DKIM::PrivateKey->load(Data => $base64); Loads the Base64-encoded key from a string already in memory. my $key3 = Mail::DKIM::PrivateKey->load(Cork => $openssl_object); Creates a Mail::DKIM::PrivateKey wrapper object for the given OpenSSL key object. The key object should be of type Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA.
METHODS
cork() - access the underlying OpenSSL key object $openssl_object = $key->cork; The returned object is of type Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA. sign_digest() Cryptographically sign the given message digest. $key->sign_digest("SHA-1", sha1("my message text")); The first parameter is the name of the digest: one of "SHA-1", "SHA-256". The second parameter is the message digest as a binary string. The result should be the signed digest as a binary string.
