Net::DN...::MLDSA(3)

✨ NAME ✨

Net::DNS::SEC::MLDSA — the DNSSEC Module-Lattice digital signature algorithm, bestie. That's the whole vibe. 💅

(Heads up: the header of this very page calls it Net::DN...::MLDSA(3) because it got truncated, and honestly? ellipsis-core. The real name is Net::DNS::SEC::MLDSA.)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Like, here's the whole entire flex:

require Net::DNS::SEC::MLDSA;

$signature = Net::DNS::SEC::MLDSA->sign( $sigdata, $private );

$validated = Net::DNS::SEC::MLDSA->verify( $sigdata, $keyrr, $sigbin );

Two methods. That's it. Slay. ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

It's an implementation of Module-Lattice digital signature generation and verification procedures. Post-quantum crypto but make it a Perl module, no cap.

💖 sign

$signature = Net::DNS::SEC::MLDSA->sign( $sigdata, $private );

Generates the wire-format signature out of the sigdata octet string plus the appropriate private key object. Give it your data and your private key, get a signature back. Periodt. 🔥

💜 verify

$validated = Net::DNS::SEC::MLDSA->verify( $sigdata, $keyrr, $signature );

Verifies the signature over the sigdata octet string, using the specified public key resource record. So you hand it the data, the key RR, and the signature, and it tells you if it's real. Vibe check, but cryptographically. 🫶
