NAME

6       Crypt::RSA::ES::OAEP - Plaintext-aware encryption with RSA.
7

SYNOPSIS

9           my $oaep = new Crypt::RSA::ES::OAEP;
10
11           my $ct = $oaep->encrypt( Key => $key, Message => $message ) ||
12                       die $oaep->errstr;
13
14           my $pt = $oaep->decrypt( Key => $key, Cyphertext => $ct )   ||
15                       die $oaep->errstr;

DESCRIPTION

18       This module implements Optimal Asymmetric Encryption, a plaintext-aware
19       encryption scheme based on RSA. The notion of plaintext-aware implies
20       it's computationally infeasible to obtain full or partial information
21       about a message from a cyphertext, and computationally infeasible to
22       generate a valid cyphertext without knowing the corresponding message.
23       Plaintext-aware schemes, such as OAEP, are semantically secure, non-
24       malleable and secure against chosen-ciphertext attack. For more
25       information on OAEP and plaintext-aware encryption, see [3], [9] &
26       [13].

METHODS

29   new()
30       Constructor.
31
32   version()
33       Returns the version number of the module.
34
35   encrypt()
36       Encrypts a string with a public key and returns the encrypted string on
37       success. encrypt() takes a hash argument with the following mandatory
38       keys:
39
40       Message
41           A string to be encrypted. The length of this string should not
42           exceed k-42 octets, where k is the octet length of the RSA modulus.
43           If Message is longer than k-42, the method will fail and set
44           $self->errstr to "Message too long." This means the key must be at
45           least _336_ bits long if you are to use OAEP.
46
47       Key Public key of the recipient, a Crypt::RSA::Key::Public object.
48
49   decrypt()
50       Decrypts cyphertext with a private key and returns plaintext on
51       success. $self->errstr is set to "Decryption Error." or appropriate
52       error on failure. decrypt() takes a hash argument with the following
53       mandatory keys:
54
55       Cyphertext
56           A string encrypted with encrypt(). The length of the cyphertext
57           must be k octets, where k is the length of the RSA modulus.
58
59       Key Private key of the receiver, a Crypt::RSA::Key::Private object.
60
61       Version
62           Version of the module that was used for creating the Cyphertext.
63           This is an optional argument. When present, decrypt() will ensure
64           before proceeding that the installed version of the module can
65           successfully decrypt the Cyphertext.
