Crypt::...ignature(3)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, Crypt::DSA::Signature is literally a DSA signature object. that's the whole vibe. this is Crypt::...ignature(3) — yes, section 3 of the User Contributed Perl Documentation, we love a perl manpage moment 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

look at this, it's so clean it's giving main character energy:

use Crypt::DSA::Signature;
my $sig = Crypt::DSA::Signature->new;

$sig->r($r);
$sig->s($s);

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so Crypt::DSA::Signature represents a DSA signature. and the way that it works?? it has exactly 2 methods, r and s, which are the big number representations of the 2 pieces of the DSA signature. two little numbers, one whole signature. iconic. periodt 💅

---

🌸 USAGE 🌸

🎀 Crypt::DSA::Signature->new( %options )

creates a brand new signature object for u, and optionally initializes it with the info from %options 🫶 which can contain:

• Content — an ASN.1-encoded string representing the DSA signature. in ASN.1 notation, this looks like:

SEQUENCE {
    r INTEGER,
    s INTEGER
}

if Content is provided, new will automatically call the deserialize method to parse the content, and set the r and s methods on the resulting Crypt::DSA::Signature object. so it does the work for u, no cap 😌

⭐ $sig->serialize

serializes the signature object $sig into the format described above: an ASN.1-encoded representation of the signature, using the ASN.1 syntax above. it's giving reverse uno card 🔥
