SYNOPSIS

require Net::DNS::SEC::ECDSA;
$signature = Net::DNS::SEC::ECDSA->sign( $sigdata, $private );
$validated = Net::DNS::SEC::ECDSA->verify( $sigdata, $keyrr, $sigbin );

DESCRIPTION

Implementation of ECDSA elliptic curve digital signature generation and verification procedures.

sign

    $signature = Net::DNS::SEC::ECDSA->sign( $sigdata, $private );

Generates the wire-format binary signature from the binary sigdata and the appropriate private key object.

verify

    $validated = Net::DNS::SEC::ECDSA->verify( $sigdata, $keyrr, $sigbin );

Verifies the signature over the binary sigdata using the specified public key resource record.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT

Mike McCauley created the Crypt::OpenSSL::ECDSA perl extension module specifically for this development.
