From: varma potthuri Date: 2011-11-08T16:14:11+09:00 Subject: ruby encryption & decryption using rsa Concept: I want to encrypt a string(hello) should give say xxx(private key) and again encrypting xxx should give say yyy(public key) and decrypting yyy should give xxx and decrypting xxx should give my original string(hello). Two way process using ruby. I was tried this using RSA in ruby (as shown below) but it was not getting my decrypted public key as similar as private key. require 'openssl' include OpenSSL require 'base64' class Generatekey def keygeneration_and_encryption_decryption(txt) rsa = PKey::RSA.generate(512) cipher_text_with_priv = rsa.private_encrypt(txt) string=Base64.encode64(cipher_text_with_priv); puts "encrypted string with the private key" puts "#{string}" cipher_text_with_pub = rsa.public_encrypt(txt) string1=Base64.encode64(cipher_text_with_pub); puts "encrypted string with the public key " puts "#{string1}" pt_with_pub = rsa.public_decrypt(cipher_text_with_priv) puts "decrypted string with the public key" puts "#{pt_with_pub}" pt_with_priv = rsa.private_decrypt(cipher_text_with_pub) puts "decrypted string with the private key" puts "#{pt_with_priv}" end end generatekey=Generatekey.new generatekey.keygeneration_and_encryption_decryption('hello') I am new to ruby if i am wrong pleae suggest me . can anyone help me please............... -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
