Synopsis
========

```lua
    # nginx.conf:

    server {
        location = /test {
            content_by_lua_file conf/test.lua;
        }
    }

    -- conf/test.lua:

    local resty_rsa = require "resty.rsa"
    local rsa_public_key, rsa_priv_key, err = resty_rsa:generate_rsa_keys(2048)
    if not rsa_public_key then
        ngx.say('generate rsa keys err: ', err)
    end

Methods
=======

To load this library,

1. you need to specify this library's path in ngx_lua's [lua_package_path](https://github.com/openresty/lua-nginx-module#lua_package_path) directive. For example, `lua_package_path "/path/to/lua-resty-rsa/lib/?.lua;;";`.
2. you use `require` to load the library into a local Lua variable:

```lua
    local rsa = require "resty.rsa"
```

generate_rsa_keys
---
`syntax: public_key, private_key, err = rsa:generate_rsa_keys(bits, in_pkcs8_fmt)`

 Generate rsa public key and private key by specifying the number of `bits`.
 The `in_pkcs8_fmt` is optional. If `in_pkcs8_fmt` is true, the generated priviate key is in PKCS#8 format and
 the public key is in PKIX format, which start with `-----BEGIN PUBLIC` or `-----BEGIN PRIVATE`.
 Otherwise the generated keys are in PKCS#1 format, which start with `-----BEGIN RSA`.

new
---
`syntax: obj, err = rsa:new(opts)`

Creates a new rsa object instance by specifying an options table `opts`.

The options table accepts the following options:

* `public_key`
Specifies the public rsa key.
* `private_key`
Specifies the private rsa key.
* `password`
Specifies the password to read rsa key.
* `key_type`
Specifies the type of given key.
By default the type will be detected from the value of the key.

| `key_type` value | meaning |
| ------------------- | ------ |
| rsa.KEY_TYPE.PKCS1 | The input key is in PKCS#1 format(usually starts with `-----BEGIN RSA PUBLIC`). |
| rsa.KEY_TYPE.PKIX | The input key is in PKIX format(usually starts with `-----BEGIN PUBLIC`). |

```lua
-- creates a rsa object with PKIX format of public key
local resty_rsa = require "resty.rsa"
local pub, err = resty_rsa:new({
    public_key = RSA_PKCS8_PUB_KEY,
    key_type = resty_rsa.KEY_TYPE.PKIX,
})

-- creates a rsa object with pkcs#8 format of private key
local priv, err = resty_rsa:new({
    private_key = RSA_PKCS8_PASS_PRIV_KEY,
    key_type = resty_rsa.KEY_TYPE.PKCS8,
    -- you need to specify the password if the pkey is encrypted
    -- password = "foobar",
})
```

* `padding`
Specifies the padding mode when you want to encrypt/decrypt.
* `algorithm`
Specifies the digest algorithm when you want to sign/verify.

| `algorithm` value | meaning |
| ------------------- | ------ |
| md4/MD4/RSA-MD4/md4WithRSAEncryption | digest with `md4` |
| md5/MD5/RSA-MD5/md5WithRSAEncryption/ssl3-md5 | digest with `md5` |
| ripemd160/RIPEMD160/RSA-RIPEM160/ripemd160WithRSA/rmd160 | digest with `ripemd160` |
| sha1/SHA1/RSA-SHA1/sha1WithRSAEncryption/ssl3-sha1 | digest with `sha1` |
| sha224/SHA224/RSA-SHA224/sha224WithRSAEncryption | digest with `sha224` |
| sha256/SHA256/RSA-SHA256/sha256WithRSAEncryption | digest with `sha256` |
| sha384/SHA384/RSA-SHA384/sha384WithRSAEncryption | digest with `sha384` |
| sha512/SHA512/RSA-SHA512/sha512WithRSAEncryption | digest with `sha512` |

encrypt
----
`syntax: encrypted, err = obj:encrypt(str)`

decrypt
------
`syntax: decrypted, err = obj:decrypt(encrypted)`


sign
----
`syntax: signature, err = obj:sign(str)`

verify
------
`syntax: ok, err = obj:verify(str, signature)`


Performance
========

I got the result:
```
encrypt for 50000 times cost : 2.4110000133514s
decrypt for 50000 times cost : 57.196000099182s
sign for 50000 times cost : 59.169999837875s
verify for 50000 times cost : 1.8230001926422s
```

when I run this script.
```
local resty_rsa = require "resty.rsa"
local algorithm = "SHA256"

local rsa_public_key, rsa_priv_key, err = resty_rsa:generate_rsa_keys(2048)
if not rsa_public_key then
    ngx.say("generate rsa keys err: ", err)
    return
end

local pub, err = resty_rsa:new({
    public_key = rsa_public_key,
    padding = resty_rsa.PADDING.RSA_PKCS1_PADDING,
    algorithm = algorithm,
})
if not pub then
    ngx.say("new rsa err: ", err)
    return
end

local priv, err = resty_rsa:new({
    private_key = rsa_priv_key,
    padding = resty_rsa.PADDING.RSA_PKCS1_PADDING,
    algorithm = algorithm,
})
if not priv then
    ngx.say("new rsa err: ", err)
    return
end


local num = 5 * 10000

local str = "hello test"

local encrypted, decrypted, err, sig, verify

ngx.update_time()
local now = ngx.now()

local function timer(operation)
    ngx.update_time()
    local t = ngx.now()

    ngx.say(operation, " for ", num, " times cost : ", t - now, "s")
    now = t
end

for _ = 1, num do
    encrypted, err = pub:encrypt(str)
    if not encrypted then
        ngx.say("failed to encrypt: ", err)
        return
    end
end

timer("encrypt")

for _ = 1, num do
    decrypted = priv:decrypt(encrypted)
    if decrypted ~= str then
        ngx.say("decrypted not match")
        return
    end
end

timer("decrypt")

for _ = 1, num do
    sig, err = priv:sign(str)
    if not sig then
        ngx.say("failed to sign:", err)
        return
    end
end

timer("sign")

for _ = 1, num do
    verify, err = pub:verify(str, sig)
    if not verify then
        ngx.say("verify err: ", err)
        return
    end
end

timer("verify")
```
