OpenSSL ::PKey ::EC

ruby latest stable - Superclass: cPKey

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

Constants

EXPLICIT_CURVE = INT2NUM(OPENSSL_EC_EXPLICIT_CURVE)

NAMED_CURVE = INT2NUM(OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE)
