README for Crypt::RSA

Introduction

Crypt::RSA is a pure-perl, cleanroom implementation of the RSA public-key cryptosystem. It uses Math::Pari(3), a perl interface to the blazingly fast PARI library, for big integer arithmetic and number theoretic computations.

Crypt::RSA provides arbitrary size key-pair generation, plaintext-aware encryption (OAEP) and digital signatures with appendix (PSS). For compatibility with SSLv3, RSAREF2, PGP and other applications that follow the PKCS #1 v1.5 standard, it also provides PKCS #1 v1.5 encryption and signatures.

Documentation

Crypt::RSA has extensive POD documentation. Start at

        "perldoc lib/Crypt/RSA.pm"
     or "perldoc Crypt::RSA"

Stability

Crypt::RSA is considered to be stable, production quality code.
