Net::DNS::SEC::RSA(3)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Net::DNS::SEC::RSA(3) page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation universe. This module is literally the DNSSEC RSA digital signature algorithm, and it's giving crypto bestie energy.

Net::DNS::SEC::RSA — DNSSEC RSA digital signature algorithm.

---

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

here's the group-chat cheat sheet, copy-paste exact:

        require Net::DNS::SEC::RSA;

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

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

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

It's the implementation of RSA digital signature generation and verification procedures. Two main-character methods run this show:

✨ sign ✨

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

Generates the wire-format signature from the sigdata octet string and the appropriate private key object. That's the tea.

✨ verify ✨

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

Verifies the signature over the sigdata octet string using the specified public key resource record. Slay.

Thanks are due to Eric Young and the many developers and contributors to the OpenSSL cryptographic library. iconic behavior, honestly 💅
