Where E is the public exponent, N is public modulus and D is the private exponent. The longer key format contains redundant information that will make the calculation faster. P1,P2 are first and second prime factors. E1,E2 are first and second exponents. C is the CRT coefficient. Terminology is taken from RFC 3447.

badarg: an argument is of wrong type or has an illegal value, low_entropy: the random generator failed due to lack of secure "randomness", computation_failed: the computation fails of another reason than low_entropy.

RSA key generation is only available if the runtime was built with dirty scheduler support. Otherwise, attempting to generate an RSA key will throw exception error:notsup.

 hash(Type, Data) -> Digest Type = md4 | hash_algorithms() Data = iodata() Digest = binary()

Computes a message digest of type Type from Data.

May throw exception notsup in case the chosen Type is not supported by the underlying OpenSSL implementation.

 hash_init(Type) -> Context Type = md4 | hash_algorithms()

Initializes the context for streaming hash operations. Type determines which digest to use. The returned context should be used as argument to hash_update.

May throw exception notsup in case the chosen Type is not supported by the underlying OpenSSL implementation.

 hash_update(Context, Data) -> NewContext Data = iodata()

Updates the digest represented by Context using the given Data. Context must have been generated using hash_init or a previous call to this function. Data can be any length. NewContext must be passed into the next call to hash_update or hash_final.

 hash_final(Context) -> Digest Digest = binary()

Finalizes the hash operation referenced by Context returned from a previous call to hash_update. The size of Digest is determined by the type of hash function used to generate it.

 hmac_update(Context, Data) -> NewContext Context = NewContext = binary() Data = iodata()

Updates the HMAC represented by Context using the given Data. Context must have been generated using an HMAC init function (such as hmac_init). Data can be any length. NewContext must be passed into the next call to hmac_update or to one of the functions hmac_final and hmac_final_n

Do not use a Context as argument in more than one call to hmac_update or hmac_final. The semantics of reusing old contexts in any way is undefined and could even crash the VM in earlier releases. The reason for this limitation is a lack of support in the underlying OpenSSL API.

 hmac_final(Context) -> Mac Context = Mac = binary()

Finalizes the HMAC operation referenced by Context. The size of the resultant MAC is determined by the type of hash function used to generate it.

 hmac_final_n(Context, HashLen) -> Mac Context = Mac = binary() HashLen = non_neg_integer()

Finalizes the HMAC operation referenced by Context. HashLen must be greater than zero. Mac will be a binary with at most HashLen bytes. Note that if HashLen is greater than the actual number of bytes returned from the underlying hash, the returned hash will have fewer than HashLen bytes.

 cmac(Type, Key, Data) -> Mac cmac(Type, Key, Data, MacLength) -> Mac Calculates the Cipher-based Message Authentication Code. Type = block_cipher() Key = iodata() Data = iodata() MacLength = integer() Mac = binary()

MacLength will limit the size of the resultant Mac.

From OTP R16 the numeric version represents the version of the OpenSSL header files (openssl/opensslv.h) used when crypto was compiled. The text variant represents the OpenSSL library used at runtime. In earlier OTP versions both numeric and text was taken from the library.

mod_pow(N, P, M) -> Result Computes the function: N^P mod M N, P, M = binary() | integer() Result = binary() | error

Computes the function N^P mod M.
