RSA Crypto ?

[Aaron Gray]

Hi,

 

Does native node.js have RSA encryption functions at all ?

 

I did a :-

 

    var ciphers = crypto.getCiphers();

 

but only get :-

 

[ 'CAST-cbc',

  'rc4-hmac-md5',

  'seed',

  'seed-cbc',

  'seed-ecb',

OpenSSL provides RSA.

 

I have found a third party library for RSA :-

 

    https://github.com/rzcoder/node-rsa

 

I really don't want to use a third party library, even if it is native.

Now I am am wondering why its not available directly from Node.js's crypto library functions ? The node library gives blowfish, why does it not give RSA ?

 

Many thanks in advance,

 

Aaron

etc. also, sign/verify

RSA is not a symmetric cipher, and cannot be used like one.

[eric]

great, do you know when will nodejs support rsa ?

stuck by rsa with nodejs now.

Do you mean supported by joyent/node instead of iojs/node? They're the same in this case:

https://nodejs.org/api/crypto.html#crypto_crypto_publicencrypt_public_key_buffer
