5Introduction
6
7 Crypt::RSA is a pure-perl, cleanroom implementation of the RSA
8 public-key cryptosystem. It uses Math::Pari(3), a perl interface to the
9 blazingly fast PARI library, for big integer arithmetic and number
10 theoretic computations.
11
12 Crypt::RSA provides arbitrary size key-pair generation, plaintext-aware
13 encryption (OAEP) and digital signatures with appendix (PSS). For
14 compatibility with SSLv3, RSAREF2, PGP and other applications that
15 follow the PKCS #1 v1.5 standard, it also provides PKCS #1 v1.5
16 encryption and signatures.
