DESCRIPTION
Since: CryptX-0.067
METHODS
new
my $pk = Crypt::PK::X25519->new();
#or
my $pk = Crypt::PK::X25519->new($priv_or_pub_key_filename);
#or
my $pk = Crypt::PK::X25519->new(\$buffer_containing_priv_or_pub_key);
Support for password protected PEM keys
my $pk = Crypt::PK::X25519->new($priv_pem_key_filename, $password);
#or
my $pk = Crypt::PK::X25519->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 => "x25519",
pub => "EA7806F721A8570512C8F6EFB4E8D620C49A529E4DF5EAA77DEC646FB1E87E41",
priv => "002F93D10BA5728D8DD8E9527721DABA3261C0BB1BEFDE7B4BBDAC631D454651",
});
# or a hash with items corresponding to JWK (JSON Web Key)
$pk->import_key({
kty => "OKP",
crv => "X25519",
d => "AC-T0Qulco2N2OlSdyHaujJhwLsb7957S72sYx1FRlE",
x => "6ngG9yGoVwUSyPbvtOjWIMSaUp5N9eqnfexkb7HofkE",
});
Supported key formats:
# all formats can be loaded from a file
my $pk = Crypt::PK::X25519->new($filename);
# or from a buffer containing the key
my $pk = Crypt::PK::X25519->new(\$buffer_with_key);
