Generates a new random private and public key.
See also the OpenSSL
documentation for EC_KEY_generate_key()
ec = OpenSSL::PKey::EC.new("prime256v1") p ec.private_key # => nil ec.generate_key! p ec.private_key # => #<OpenSSL::BN XXXXXX>
Outputs this keypair in DER encoding.
Encrypt string with the public key. padding defaults to PKCS1_PADDING. The encrypted string output can be decrypted using private_decrypt
.
Decrypt string, which has been encrypted with the private key, with the public key. padding defaults to PKCS1_PADDING.
Encrypt string with the private key. padding defaults to PKCS1_PADDING. The encrypted string output can be decrypted using public_decrypt
.
Decrypt string, which has been encrypted with the public key, with the private key. padding defaults to PKCS1_PADDING.
Verifies data using the Probabilistic Signature Scheme (RSA-PSS).
The return value is true
if the signature is valid, false
otherwise. RSAError
will be raised if an error occurs.
See sign_pss
for the signing operation and an example code.
A String
containing the message digest algorithm name.
A String
. The data to be signed.
The length in octets of the salt. Two special values are reserved: :digest
means the digest length, and :auto
means automatically determining the length based on the signature.
The hash algorithm used in MGF1.
Sets n, e, d for the RSA
instance.
Returns the security level for the context.
See also OpenSSL::SSL::SSLContext#security_level=
.
Sets the security level for the context. OpenSSL
limits parameters according to the level. The “parameters” include: ciphersuites, curves, key sizes, certificate signature algorithms, protocol version and so on. For example, level 1 rejects parameters offering below 80 bits of security, such as ciphersuites using MD5 for the MAC or RSA keys shorter than 1024 bits.
Note that attempts to set such parameters with insufficient security are also blocked. You need to lower the level first.
This feature is not supported in OpenSSL
< 1.1.0, and setting the level to other than 0 will raise NotImplementedError
. Level 0 means everything is permitted, the same behavior as previous versions of OpenSSL
.
See the manpage of SSL_CTX_set_security_level(3) for details.
A non-blocking version of sysread
. Raises an SSLError
if reading would block. If “exception: false” is passed, this method returns a symbol of :wait_readable, :wait_writable, or nil, rather than raising an exception.
Reads length bytes from the SSL
connection. If a pre-allocated buffer is provided the data will be written into it.
Writes string to the SSL
connection in a non-blocking manner. Raises an SSLError
if writing would block.
Returns the result of the peer certificates verification. See verify(1) for error values and descriptions.
If no peer certificate was presented X509_V_OK is returned.
Returns the protocol string that was finally selected by the client during the handshake.
Converts the name to DER encoding
Returns the error string corresponding to the error code retrieved by error
.
