string getKeyEncoded(const string& format, const PublicKey& key) const

Encodes the key using a format specified by format.

Throws:

Error if key is unitialized or unrecognized
SecurityException if format is unsupported or if the encoding fails

Returns:

encoding a string of bytes

Parameters:

format - string specifies the format to be used. Only DER for now.
key - PublicKey to be encoded

See Also:

PublicKey
PublicKeyImpl

string getKeyEncoded(const string& format, const PrivateKey& key) const

Encodes the key using a format specified by format.

Throws:

Error if key is uninitialized or unrecognized
SecurityException if format is unsupported or if the encoding fails

Returns:

encoding a string of bytes

Parameters:

format - string specifies the format to be used. Only DER for now.
key - PrivateKey to be encoded

PrivateKey
PrivateKeyImpl

PublicKey initPublicKey(const string& format, const string& type, const string& encoding) const

returns a PublicKey. The format specifies which format was used to encode the key (must be DER for now). The type specifies the kind of key we are decoding. Examples of types are DSA and RSA.

Throws:

SecurityException if either format or type is unsupported or if decoding fails

Returns:

a public key

Parameters:

format - string specifies the format used for encoding
type - the key's type
encoding - a string of bytes

See Also:

PublicKey
PublicKeyImpl

PrivateKey initPrivateKey(const string& format, const string& encoding) const

returns a PrivateKey. The format specifies which format was used to encode the key ( must be DER for now ) . The type specifies the kind of key we are decoding. Examples of types are DSA and RSA.

Throws:

SecurityException if either format or type is unsupported or if decoding fails

Returns:

a public key

Parameters:

format - string specifies the format used for encoding
type - the key's type
encoding - a string of bytes

PrivateKeyImpl

KeyPair generateRSAKeyPair(int size, unsigned long exponent) const

Generates an RSA key pair.

Throws:

SecurityException if genaration fails

Returns:

a KeyPair

Parameters:

size - int modulo in bytes (power of 2)
size - int exponent a prime number

KeyPair generateDSAKeyPair(int size, const string& seed) const

Generates a DSA key pair.

Throws:

SecurityException if genaration fails

Returns:

a KeyPair

Parameters:

size - int size of key in bytes
size - string used to seed the genrator

virtual ~OpenSSLKeyImpl()

Destructor

string privateDecrypt(const string &encrypted) const

string publicDecrypt(const string &encrypted) const

Uses the contained public RSA key to decrypt the input string.

Returns:

s the decyrpted sting. @throw SecurityException OpenSSLRSAPublicKeyImpl: decryption failure

Parameters:

string - encrypted the data to be decrypted.

string publicEncrypt(const string &data) const

Uses the contained public RSA key to encrypt the input string.

Returns:

s the encyrpted sting. @throw SecurityException OpenSSLRSAPublicKeyImpl: encryption failure

Parameters:

string - data the data to be encrypted.

int size() const

Returns ENV_PKey_size of the contained ENV_Pkey
