Overview

OpenSSL::PKey::EC provides access to Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) and Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH).

Key exchange

ec1 = OpenSSL::PKey::EC.generate("prime256v1")
ec2 = OpenSSL::PKey::EC.generate("prime256v1")
# ec1 and ec2 have own private key respectively
shared_key1 = ec1.dh_compute_key(ec2.public_key)
shared_key2 = ec2.dh_compute_key(ec1.public_key)

p shared_key1 == shared_key2 #=> true

#dh_compute_key(pubkey) ⇒ Object

:call-seq:

ec.dh_compute_key(pubkey) -> string

Derives a shared secret by ECDH. pubkey must be an instance of OpenSSL::PKey::EC::Point and must belong to the same group.

This method is provided for backwards compatibility, and calls #derive internally.

#export([cipher, password]) ⇒ String #to_pem([cipher, password]) ⇒ String Also known as: to_pem

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 it is a public key or a private key.

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

Serializes it into a SEC 1/RFC 5915 ECPrivateKey.

A PEM-encoded key will look like:

-----BEGIN EC PRIVATE KEY-----
[...]
-----END EC PRIVATE KEY-----
When the key contains private components, and cipher and password are given

Serializes it into a SEC 1/RFC 5915 ECPrivateKey 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 EC PRIVATE KEY-----
Proc-Type: 4,ENCRYPTED
DEK-Info: AES-128-CBC,733F5302505B34701FC41F5C0746E4C0

[...]
-----END EC 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 SEC 1/RFC 5915 ECPrivateKey format is required.

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

#to_der ⇒ String

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

See #to_pem for details.

This method is kept for compatibility. This should only be used when the SEC 1/RFC 5915 ECPrivateKey format is required.

Consider using #public_to_der or #private_to_der instead.
