# class OpenSSL::PKey::RSA

`RSA` is an asymmetric public key algorithm that has been formalized in RFC 3447. It is in widespread use in public key infrastructures (PKI) where certificates (cf. `OpenSSL::X509::Certificate`) often are issued on the basis of a public/private `RSA` key pair. `RSA` is used in a wide field of applications such as secure (symmetric) key exchange, e.g. when establishing a secure TLS/SSL connection. It is also used in various digital signature schemes.

Generates or loads an RSA keypair.

If called without arguments, creates a new instance with no key components set. They can be set individually by `set_key`, `set_factors`, and `set_crt_params`. This form is not compatible with `OpenSSL` 3.0 or later.

If called with a `String`, tries to parse as DER or PEM encoding of an RSA key. Note that if password is not specified, but the key is encrypted with a password, OpenSSL will prompt for it. See also `OpenSSL::PKey.read` which can parse keys of any kind.

If called with a number, generates a new key pair. This form works as an alias of `RSA.generate`.

Examples:

    OpenSSL::PKey::RSA.new 2048
    OpenSSL::PKey::RSA.new File.read 'rsa.pem'
    OpenSSL::PKey::RSA.new File.read('rsa.pem'), 'my password'

    static VALUE
    ossl_rsa_export(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE self)

        if (can_export_rsaprivatekey(self))

        else
            return ossl_pkey_export_spki(self, 0);
    }

Serializes a private or public key to a PEM-encoding.

When the key contains public components only

  Serializes it into an X.509 SubjectPublicKeyInfo. The parameters cipher and password are ignored.

  A PEM-encoded key will look like:

      -----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----
      [...]
      -----END PUBLIC KEY-----

  Consider using `public_to_pem` instead. This serializes the key into an X.509 SubjectPublicKeyInfo regardless of whether the key is a public key or a private key.

When the key contains private components, and no parameters are given

  Serializes it into a PKCS #1 RSAPrivateKey.

  A PEM-encoded key will look like:

      -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
      [...]
      -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

When the key contains private components, and cipher and password are given

  Serializes it into a PKCS #1 RSAPrivateKey and encrypts it in OpenSSL’s traditional PEM encryption format. cipher must be a cipher name understood by `OpenSSL::Cipher.new` or an instance of `OpenSSL::Cipher`.

  An encrypted PEM-encoded key will look like:

      -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
      Proc-Type: 4,ENCRYPTED
      DEK-Info: AES-128-CBC,733F5302505B34701FC41F5C0746E4C0

      [...]
      -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

  Note that this format uses MD5 to derive the encryption key, and hence will not be available on FIPS-compliant systems.

This method is kept for compatibility. This should only be used when the PKCS #1 RSAPrivateKey format is required.

Consider using `public_to_pem` (X.509 SubjectPublicKeyInfo) or `private_to_pem` (PKCS #8 PrivateKeyInfo or EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo) instead.

      %w{n e d p q dmp1 dmq1 iqmp}.map { |name|
        [name, send(name)]

Stores all parameters of key to a `Hash`.

The hash has keys ‘n’, ‘e’, ‘d’, ‘p’, ‘q’, ‘dmp1’, ‘dmq1’, and ‘iqmp’.

      decrypt(data, {
        "rsa_padding_mode" => translate_padding_mode(padding),
      })
    end

Decrypt `string`, which has been encrypted with the public key, with the private key. `padding` defaults to `PKCS1_PADDING`, which is known to be insecure but is kept for backwards compatibility.

Deprecated in version 3.0. Consider using `PKey::PKey#encrypt` and `PKey::PKey#decrypt` instead.

private_encrypt(string) → String
private_encrypt(string, padding) → String

    # File ext/openssl/lib/openssl/pkey.rb, line 411

      sign_raw(nil, string, {
        "rsa_padding_mode" => translate_padding_mode(padding),
      })
    end

Encrypt `string` with the private key. `padding` defaults to `PKCS1_PADDING`, which is known to be insecure but is kept for backwards compatibility. The encrypted string output can be decrypted using `public_decrypt`.

Deprecated in version 3.0. Consider using `PKey::PKey#sign_raw` and `PKey::PKey#verify_raw`, and `PKey::PKey#verify_recover` instead.

public? → true
Source

         */
        (void)rsa;
        return Qtrue;
    }

The return value is always `true` since every private key is also a public key.

      verify_recover(nil, string, {
        "rsa_padding_mode" => translate_padding_mode(padding),
      })
    end

Decrypt `string`, which has been encrypted with the private key, with the public key. `padding` defaults to `PKCS1_PADDING` which is known to be insecure but is kept for backwards compatibility.

Deprecated in version 3.0. Consider using `PKey::PKey#sign_raw` and `PKey::PKey#verify_raw`, and `PKey::PKey#verify_recover` instead.

      encrypt(data, {
        "rsa_padding_mode" => translate_padding_mode(padding),
      })
    end

Encrypt `string` with the public key. `padding` defaults to `PKCS1_PADDING`, which is known to be insecure but is kept for backwards compatibility. The encrypted string output can be decrypted using `private_decrypt`.

Deprecated in version 3.0. Consider using `PKey::PKey#encrypt` and `PKey::PKey#decrypt` instead.

public_key → rsanew
Source

    # File ext/openssl/lib/openssl/pkey.rb, line 353
    def public_key
      OpenSSL::PKey.read(public_to_der)
    end

Returns a new `RSA` instance that carries just the public key components.

This method is provided for backwards compatibility. In most cases, there is no need to call this method.

For the purpose of serializing the public key, to PEM or DER encoding of X.509 SubjectPublicKeyInfo format, check `PKey#public_to_pem` and `PKey#public_to_der`.

set_crt_params(dmp1, dmq1, iqmp) → self

Sets dmp1, dmq1, iqmp for the `RSA` instance. They are calculated by `d mod (p - 1)`, `d mod (q - 1)` and `q^(-1) mod p` respectively.

set_factors(p, q) → self

Sets p, q for the `RSA` instance.

set_key(n, e, d) → self

Sets n, e, d for the `RSA` instance.

Signs data using the Probabilistic Signature Scheme (RSA-PSS) and returns the calculated signature.

`PKeyError` will be raised if an error occurs.

See `verify_pss` for the verification operation.

### Parameters

digest

  A `String` containing the message digest algorithm name.

data

  A `String`. The data to be signed.

salt_length

  The length in octets of the salt. Two special values are reserved: `:digest` means the digest length, and `:max` means the maximum possible length for the combination of the private key and the selected message digest algorithm.

mgf1_hash

  The hash algorithm used in MGF1 (the currently supported mask generation function (MGF)).

### Example

    data = "Sign me!"
    pkey = OpenSSL::PKey::RSA.new(2048)
    signature = pkey.sign_pss("SHA256", data, salt_length: :max, mgf1_hash: "SHA256")
    pub_key = OpenSSL::PKey.read(pkey.public_to_der)
    puts pub_key.verify_pss("SHA256", signature, data,

Verifies data using the Probabilistic Signature Scheme (RSA-PSS).

The return value is `true` if the signature is valid, `false` otherwise. `PKeyError` will be raised if an error occurs.

See `sign_pss` for the signing operation and an example code.

### Parameters

digest

  A `String` containing the message digest algorithm name.

data

  A `String`. The data to be signed.

salt_length

  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.

mgf1_hash

  The hash algorithm used in MGF1.
