Crypt::Perl::ECDSA::PublicKey - object representation of ECDSA public key
#Use Parse.pm or a private key’s get_public_key()
#rather #than instantiating this class directly.
#This works even if the object came from a key file that doesn’t
#contain the curve name.
$pbkey->get_curve_name();
if ($payload > ($pbkey->max_sign_bits() / 8)) {
die "Payload too long!";
}
$pbkey->verify($payload, $sig) or die "Invalid signature!";
#For JSON Web Algorithms (JWT et al.), cf. RFC 7518 page 8
#This verifies against the appropriate SHA digest rather than
#against the original message.
$pbkey->verify_jwa($payload, $sig) or die "Invalid signature!";
#----------------------------------------------------------------------
#Includes “kty”, “crv”, “x”, and “y”.
#Add in whatever else your application needs afterward.
#
#This will die() if you try to run it with a curve that
#doesn’t have a known JWK “crv” value.
#
my $pub_jwk = $pbkey->get_struct_for_public_jwk();
#Useful for JWTs
my $jwt_alg = $pbkey->get_jwa_alg();
The SYNOPSIS above should be illustration enough of how to use this class.
