DESCRIPTION Crypt::OpenSSL::PKCS10 provides the ability to create PKCS10 certificate requests using RSA key pairs. Class Methods new Create a new Crypt::OpenSSL::PKCS10 object by generating a new key pair. There are two optional arguments, the key size which defaults to 1024, and a hash of options which can be used to customize options. Crypt::OpenSSL::PKCS10->new() # Defaults to a 1024-bit RSA private key Crypt::OpenSSL::PKCS10->new(2048) # Specify a 2048-bit RSA private key # With 2 arguements the keysize must be first Crypt::OpenSSL::PKCS10->new( 2048, # 2048-bit RSA keysize { type => 'rsa', # Private key type ('rsa' or 'ec') hash => 'SHA256', # Hash Algorithm name }); Crypt::OpenSSL::PKCS10->new( { type => 'ec', # Private key type ('rsa' or 'ec') curve => 'secp384r1', # Eliptic Curve type (secp384r1 default) hash => 'SHA256', # Hash Algorithm name }); new_from_rsa( $rsa_object ) Create a new Crypt::OpenSSL::PKCS10 object by using key information from a Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA object. Here is an example: my $rsa = Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA->generate_key(512); my $req = Crypt::OpenSSL::PKCS10->new_from_rsa($rsa); my $rsa = Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA->generate_key(1024); my $req = Crypt::OpenSSL::PKCS10->new_from_rsa($rsa, {type => 'rsa', hash => 'SHA384'}); OpenSSL 3.0 has deprecated the RSA object which Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA creates. new_from_rsa() is now a perl sub which obtains the private key as a string that is also passed to the _new_from_rsa() XS function. new_from_file( $filename ) Create a new Crypt::OpenSSL::PKCS10 object by reading the request and key information from a PEM formatted file. Here is an example: my $req = Crypt::OpenSSL::PKCS10->new_from_file("CSR.csr"); You can also specify the format of the PKCS10 file, either DER or PEM format. Here are some examples: my $req = Crypt::OpenSSL::PKCS10->new_from_file("CSR.csr", Crypt::OpenSSL::PKCS10::FORMAT_PEM()); my $req = Crypt::OpenSSL::PKCS10->new_from_file("CSR.der", Crypt::OpenSSL::PKCS10::FORMAT_ASN1()); Instance Methods set_subject($subject, [ $utf8 ]) Sets the subject DN of the request. Note: $subject is expected to be in the format /type0=value0/type1=value1/type2=... where characters may be escaped by \. If $utf8 is non-zero integer, $subject is interpreted as UTF-8 string. add_ext($nid, $extension) Adds a new extension to the request. The first argument $nid is one of the exported constants (see below). The second one $extension is a string (for more info read openssl(3)). $req->add_ext(Crypt::OpenSSL::PKCS10::NID_key_usage,"critical,digitalSignature,keyEncipherment"); $req->add_ext(Crypt::OpenSSL::PKCS10::NID_ext_key_usage,"serverAuth, nsSGC, msSGC, 1.3.4"); $req->add_ext(Crypt::OpenSSL::PKCS10::NID_subject_alt_name,"email:steve@openssl.org"); add_custom_ext($oid, $desc) Adds a new custom extension to the request. The value is added as a text string, using ASN.1 encoding rules inherited from the Netscape Comment OID. $req->add_custom_ext('1.2.3.3',"My new extension"); add_custom_ext_raw($oid, $bytes) Adds a new custom extension to the request. The value is added as a raw DER octet string. Use this if you are packing your own ASN.1 structures and need to set the extension value directly. $req->add_custom_ext_raw($oid, pack('H*','1E06006100620063')) # BMPString 'abc' add_ext_final() This must be called after all extensions has been added. It actually copies the extension stack to request structure. $req->add_ext(Crypt::OpenSSL::PKCS10::NID_subject_alt_name,"email:my@email.org"); $req->add_ext_final(); sign() This adds the signature to the PKCS10 request. $req->sign(); $req->sign("SHA256"); # Set the hash to use for the signature pubkey_type() Returns the type of the PKCS10 public key - one of (rsa|dsa|ec). $req->pubkey_type(); get_pubkey() Returns the PEM encoding of the PKCS10 public key. $req->get_pubkey(); get_pem_req() Returns the PEM encoding of the PKCS10 request. $req->get_pem_req(); write_pem_req($filename) Writes the PEM encoding of the PKCS10 request to a given file. $req->write_pem_req('request.pem'); get_pem_pk() Returns the PEM encoding of the private key. $req->get_pem_pk(); write_pem_pk($filename) Writes the PEM encoding of the private key to a given file. $req->write_pem_pk('request.pem'); subject() returns the subject of the PKCS10 request $subject = $req->subject(); keyinfo() returns the human readable info about the key of the PKCS10 request $keyinfo = $req->keyinfo(); EXPORT None by default. On request: NID_key_usage NID_subject_alt_name NID_netscape_cert_type NID_netscape_comment NID_ext_key_usage BUGS If you destroy $req object that is linked to a Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA object, the RSA private key is also freed, thus you can't use latter object anymore. Avoid this: my $rsa = Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA->generate_key(512); my $req = Crypt::OpenSSL::PKCS10->new_from_rsa($rsa); undef $req; print $rsa->get_private_key_string(); SEE ALSO "Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA", "Crypt::OpenSSL::X509".
