Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA is an XS perl module designed to provide basic RSA
functionality. It does this by providing a glue to the RSA functions
in the OpenSSL library. In particular, it provides the following functions:
new_public_key, new_private_key - create a key from a string
generate_key - make a new key
get_private_key_string - save key to a string
get_public_key_string - save public portion of key to a string
get_public_key_x509_string - save public portion of key to a string,
using format compatibe with OpenSSL's
command-line rsa tool
encrypt, decrypt, private_encrypt, public_decrypt, sign, verify,
use_pkcs1_oaep_padding, use_pkcs1_padding,
use_sslv23_padding, use_no_padding
use_md5_hash, use_sha1_hash, use_ripemd160_hash
size - Returns the size, in bytes, of the key.
check_key - checks the validity of a key.
