(tye)Re2: RSA encryption on Win32

Well, the usage you describe doesn't match the code. Try:

perl rsa.pl 3353bc7 6537b15 <text.out >text.enc
perl rsa.pl -d 1c07e37 6537b15 <text.enc >text.dec
[download]

Not that I think that will work (that is mostly what I tried), but at least it matches what the code appears to want. I've watched it go through its calculations and they appear to make sense.

Of course there are no error messages, there is no error checking. O-: There must be a "real" (as opposed to "cute") Perl-only implementation of RSA floating around (I only looked briefly).

- tye (but my friends call me "Tye")

Actually this isn't going to work, because rsa.pl relies on perl being executed with the -s switch, so if you execute the script like this perl never gets the -s switch. Either do `% perl -s rsa.pl ...` [download] Or make rsa.pl executable and run it like `% ./rsa.pl ...` [download] BTW, w/r/t to a "real" implementation of RSA: I think this'd be a great thing and I know that I've not really found much, so I think I'm going to do some work on this.

Question Answered The problem was the -s switch. Thanks very much.	[reply]
