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.

Constants

Public Class Methods

generate(size, exponent = 65537) → RSA click to toggle source

Generates an RSA keypair.

See also OpenSSL::PKey.generate_key.

size

The desired key size in bits.

exponent

An odd Integer, normally 3, 17, or 65537.

# File ext/openssl/lib/openssl/pkey.rb, line 343
def generate(size, exp = 0x10001, &blk)
  OpenSSL::PKey.generate_key("RSA", {
    "rsa_keygen_bits" => size,
    "rsa_keygen_pubexp" => exp,
  }, &blk)
end
new → rsa click to toggle source
new(encoded_key [, password ]) → rsa
new(encoded_key) { password } → rsa
new(size [, exponent]) → rsa

Generates or loads an RSA keypair.

If called without arguments, creates a new instance with no key components set. They can be set individually by set_key, set_factors, and set_crt_params.

If called with a String, tries to parse as DER or PEM encoding of an RSA key. Note that if password is not specified, but the key is encrypted with a password, OpenSSL will prompt for it. See also OpenSSL::PKey.read which can parse keys of any kind.

If called with a number, generates a new key pair. This form works as an alias of RSA.generate.

Examples:

OpenSSL::PKey::RSA.new 2048
OpenSSL::PKey::RSA.new File.read 'rsa.pem'
OpenSSL::PKey::RSA.new File.read('rsa.pem'), 'my password'

Public Instance Methods

export([cipher, password]) → PEM-format String click to toggle source

Serializes a private or public key to a PEM-encoding.

When the key contains public components only

Serializes it into an X.509 SubjectPublicKeyInfo. The parameters cipher and password are ignored.

A PEM-encoded key will look like:

-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----
[...]
-----END PUBLIC KEY-----

Consider using public_to_pem instead. This serializes the key into an X.509 SubjectPublicKeyInfo regardless of whether the key is a public key or a private key.

When the key contains private components, and no parameters are given

Serializes it into a PKCS #1 RSAPrivateKey.

A PEM-encoded key will look like:

-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
[...]
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
When the key contains private components, and cipher and password are given

Serializes it into a PKCS #1 RSAPrivateKey and encrypts it in OpenSSL’s traditional PEM encryption format. cipher must be a cipher name understood by OpenSSL::Cipher.new or an instance of OpenSSL::Cipher.

An encrypted PEM-encoded key will look like:

-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
Proc-Type: 4,ENCRYPTED
DEK-Info: AES-128-CBC,733F5302505B34701FC41F5C0746E4C0

[...]
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

Note that this format uses MD5 to derive the encryption key, and hence will not be available on FIPS-compliant systems.

This method is kept for compatibility. This should only be used when the PKCS #1 RSAPrivateKey format is required.

Consider using public_to_pem (X.509 SubjectPublicKeyInfo) or private_to_pem (PKCS #8 PrivateKeyInfo or EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo) instead.

Parameters ↑

digest

A String containing the message digest algorithm name.

A String. The data to be signed.
