Almost ! RSA Javascript/Ruby

Ruby
1

Hi all,

back into the RSA Javascript/Ruby:

It looks that Javascript returns hex, while Ruby
PKey::RSA.private_decrypt(str) it takes bytes as argument. The little
documentation I found on PKey::RSA.private_decrypt, shows that it
takes string (str) as argument.

My questions:

  • What kind of argument does PKey::RSA.private_decrypt(str) take ?
    string, byte?
  • How to convert from Hex to bytes? what hex to string?
  • Where can I find more documentation on PKey::RSA
  • In case I decide to modify “src/ext/openssl/ossl_pkey_rsa.c” …
    should I compile that code? and store it where?

Some RSA crypt/verification hints with Ruby will be much appreciated.

thanks,

Jean

P.S.: Why almost?: I got to share the keys from the client to the
server, although I’m still not able to load the cryped pwd from the
client to the server … but very close :slight_smile:
