NAME

XML::Compile::WSS::Sign::RSA - WSS Signing with RSA

INHERITANCE

 XML::Compile::WSS::Sign::RSA
   is a XML::Compile::WSS::Sign

SYNOPSIS

  # either
  use XML::Compile::WSS::Util qw/DSIG_RSA_SHA1/;
  my $sign = XML::Compile::WSS::Sign->new(type => DSIG_RSA_SHA1);

  # or
  use XML::Compile::WSS::Sign::RSA;
  my $token = XML::Compile::WSS::Sign::RSA->new(
     hashing => 'SHA1', ...);

METHODS

Constructors

XML::Compile::WSS::Sign::RSA->fromConfig(CONFIG, [PRIVKEY])

See "Constructors" in XML::Compile::WSS::Sign

XML::Compile::WSS::Sign::RSA->new(OPTIONS)
 -Option     --Defined in             --Default
  hashing                               <derived from type>
  private_key                           undef
  public_key                            <from private key>
  type         XML::Compile::WSS::Sign  DSIG_RSA_SHA1
hashing => STRING

For instance, SHA1.

private_key => OBJECT|STRING|FILENAME

Required if you want to use this object to sign(). See privateKey()

public_key => OBJECT|STRING|FILENAME

Required if you want to use this object to check(). See publicKey() Usually, you need either the public or the private key, not both. However, when you specify a private key, you can ask for the public key as well: it is included.

type => TYPE

Attributes

$obj->hashing()
$obj->privateKey([KEY, [HASHING]])

The private key must be set with new(private_key) or this method before you can sign(). This method will return the text of the key.

  • an Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA object

  • PEM formatted key, as accepted by Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA method new_private_key()

  • a filename which contains such bytes.

$obj->privateKeyRSA()

Returns the private key wrapped in a Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA object.

$obj->publicKey([KEY])

Set the public key. You can pass a KEY, which is one of

$obj->publicKeyRSA()

Returns the Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA-wrapped public key.

$obj->publicKeyString('PKCS1'|'X509')
$obj->type()

See "Attributes" in XML::Compile::WSS::Sign

Handlers

$obj->check(ref-BYTES, SIGNATURE)

Use TOKEN to check whether the BYTES (passed by reference) match the SIGNATURE.

For RSA signing, the token can be

$obj->sign(ref-BYTES)

See "Handlers" in XML::Compile::WSS::Sign

Signing with RSA

Limitations

The signing algorithm uses Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA. According to its manual-page, the current implementation is limited to

  • sign_method

       DSIG_RSA_SHA1     DSIGM_RSA_MD5     DSIGM_RSA_SHA256
       DSIGM_RSA_SHA384  DSIGM_RSA_SHA512

    It could support some RSA_RIPEMD160, however there is no official constant for that in the standards.

  • token_type

      XTP10_X509         XTP10_X509PKI
