DESCRIPTION

Since: CryptX-0.067

METHODS

new

my $pk = Crypt::PK::Ed25519->new();
#or
my $pk = Crypt::PK::Ed25519->new($priv_or_pub_key_filename);
#or
my $pk = Crypt::PK::Ed25519->new(\$buffer_containing_priv_or_pub_key);

Support for password protected PEM keys

my $pk = Crypt::PK::Ed25519->new($priv_pem_key_filename, $password);
#or
my $pk = Crypt::PK::Ed25519->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 => "ed25519",
     pub   => "A05D1AEA5830AC9A65CDFB384660D497E3697C46B419CF2CEC85DE8BD245459D",
     priv  => "45C109BA6FD24E8B67D23EFB6B92D99CD457E2137172C0D749FE2B5A0C142DAD",
});

# or a hash with items corresponding to JWK (JSON Web Key)
$pk->import_key({
      kty => "OKP",
      crv => "Ed25519",
      d   => "RcEJum_STotn0j77a5LZnNRX4hNxcsDXSf4rWgwULa0",
      x   => "oF0a6lgwrJplzfs4RmDUl-NpfEa0Gc8s7IXei9JFRZ0",
});

Supported key formats:

# all formats can be loaded from a file
my $pk = Crypt::PK::Ed25519->new($filename);

# or from a buffer containing the key
my $pk = Crypt::PK::Ed25519->new(\$buffer_with_key);

#or
my $jwk_hash = $pk->export_key_jwk('public', 1);

BEWARE: For JWK support you need to have JSON module installed.

export_key_raw

Export raw public/private key

my $private_bytes = $pk->export_key_raw('private');
#or
my $public_bytes = $pk->export_key_raw('public');

sign_message

my $signature = $priv->sign_message($message);

verify_message

my $valid = $pub->verify_message($signature, $message)

is_private

my $rv = $pk->is_private;
# 1 .. private key loaded
# 0 .. public key loaded
# undef .. no key loaded

key2hash

my $hash = $pk->key2hash;

# returns hash like this (or undef if no key loaded):
{
  curve => "ed25519",
  # raw public key as a hexadecimal string
  pub   => "A05D1AEA5830AC9A65CDFB384660D497E3697C46B419CF2CEC85DE8BD245459D",
