NAME

Crypt::ECDSA::PEM -- ECDSA PEM file management for elliptic key DSA cryptography

DESCRIPTION

  These are for use with Crypt::ECDSA and require Math::BigInt::GMP.

METHODS

new

  Constructor.  Takes the following named pair arguments:
  
  filename =>  $file_name
  
  Open and parse a PEM key file at initialization of the object.
  
  password => $passwd
  
  Use $passwd as a key to and encrypted PEM file.
  
  

read_PEM

  $pem->read_PEM( filename => $filename, password => $password );

  Read and parse a PEM file.  The password is optional.
  

read_PEM_fh

    $pem->read_PEM_fh( filename => $fname );
    
    Read from an open file handle.  Otherwise like read_PEM().
    

write_PEM

  $pem->write_PEM( filename => $outfile, private => 1, 
    Password => $pwrd, cipher => 'Rijndael' );
  
  Write a PEM file.  The private parameter indicates to write out the 
  private key.  Otherwise the public key only is wriiten to the file.
  The Password is for encryption if desired. cipher => $cipher is for the
  cipher method: 'Rijndael' (AES) is suggested, but if your installation has them,
  the module can use DES_EDE3 and Blowfish as well.
  
  

key_to_private_pem

    my $pem_text = $pem->key_to_private_pem( $key, $password );
    print $pem_text;
    
    Create and return a PEM file containing the pirvate and public keys as 
    a scalar.  The second, password parameter is optional.
