Class OpenSSL::PKey::RSA
In: ext/openssl/ossl_pkey.c
Parent: cPKey

let rdoc know about mOSSL and mPKey

Methods

export   generate   new   params   private?   private_decrypt   private_encrypt   public?   public_decrypt   public_encrypt   public_key   to_der   to_pem   to_s   to_text  

Public Class methods

RSA.generate(size [, exponent]) → rsa

Parameters

  • size is an integer representing the desired key size. Keys smaller than 1024 should be considered insecure.
  • exponent is an odd number normally 3, 17, or 65537.
RSA.new([size | encoded_key] [, pass]) → rsa

Parameters

  • size is an integer representing the desired key size.
  • encoded_key is a string containing PEM or DER encoded key.
  • pass is an optional string with the password to decrypt the encoded key.

Examples

Public Instance methods

rsa.to_pem([cipher, pass]) → aString

Parameters

  • cipher is a Cipher object.
  • pass is a string.

Examples

rsa.params → hash

Stores all parameters of key to the hash INSECURE: PRIVATE INFORMATIONS CAN LEAK OUT!!! Don’t use :-)) (I’s up to you)

rsa.public? → true

The return value is always true since every private key is also a public key.

rsa.public_key → aRSA

Makes new instance RSA PUBLIC_KEY from PRIVATE_KEY

to_pem(...)

Alias for export

to_s(...)

Alias for export

rsa.to_text → aString

Prints all parameters of key to buffer INSECURE: PRIVATE INFORMATIONS CAN LEAK OUT!!! Don’t use :-)) (It’s up to you)
