class OpenSSL::PKey::RSA

RSA is an asymmetric public key algorithm that has been formalized in RFC 3447. It is in widespread use in public key infrastructures (PKI) where certificates (cf. OpenSSL::X509::Certificate) often are issued on the basis of a public/private RSA key pair. RSA is used in a wide field of applications such as secure (symmetric) key exchange, e.g. when establishing a secure TLS/SSL connection. It is also used in various digital signature schemes.

Public Class Methods

generate(size) → RSA instance click to toggle source

generate(size, exponent) → RSA instance

Generates an RSA keypair. 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.

static VALUE
ossl_rsa_s_generate(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE klass)
{
/* why does this method exist?  why can't initialize take an optional exponent? */
    RSA *rsa;
    VALUE size, exp;
    VALUE obj;

    rb_scan_args(argc, argv, "11", &size, &exp);

    rsa = rsa_generate(NUM2INT(size), NIL_P(exp) ? RSA_F4 : NUM2ULONG(exp)); /* err handled by rsa_instance */
    obj = rsa_instance(klass, rsa);

    if (obj == Qfalse) {
        RSA_free(rsa);
        ossl_raise(eRSAError, NULL);
    }

    return obj;
}

new(key_size) → RSA instance click to toggle source

new(encoded_key) → RSA instance

new(encoded_key, pass_phrase) → RSA instance

Generates or loads an RSA keypair. If an integer key_size is given it represents the desired key size. Keys less than 1024 bits should be considered insecure.

A key can instead be loaded from an encoded_key which must be PEM or DER encoded. A pass_phrase can be used to decrypt the key. If none is given OpenSSL will prompt for the pass phrase.
