Net::SSH::Perl::Key::DUser)Contributed Perl DocumenNet::SSH::Perl::Key::DSA(3)NAMENet::SSH::Perl::Key::DSA - DSA key object
SYNOPSIS
use Net::SSH::Perl::Key;
my $key = Net::SSH::Perl::Key->new('DSA');
DESCRIPTIONNet::SSH::Perl::Key::DSA subclasses Net::SSH::Perl::Key to implement a
key object, SSH style. This object provides all of the methods needed
for a DSA key object; the underlying implementation is provided by
Crypt::DSA, and this class wraps around that module to provide SSH-
specific functionality (eg. taking in a Net::SSH::Perl::Buffer blob and
transforming it into a key object).
USAGENet::SSH::Perl::Key::DSA implements the interface described in the
documentation for Net::SSH::Perl::Key. Any differences or additions are
described here.
$key->sign($data)
Wraps around Crypt::DSA::sign to sign $data using the private key
portions of $key, then encodes that signature into an SSH-compatible
signature blob.
Returns the signature blob.
$key->verify($signature, $data)
Given a signature blob $signature and the original signed data $data,
attempts to verify the signature using the public key portion of $key.
This wraps around Crypt::DSA::verify to perform the core verification.
$signature should be an SSH-compatible signature blob, as returned from
sign; $data should be a string of data, as passed to sign.
Returns true if the verification succeeds, false otherwise.
