Okay, I admit it I don't know everything. What does the perl script actually do. I saved to file, chmod 777 perly tried running the script and kept getting error line 3. What does it do, does it encrypt a file or what. What Have i done wrong?
The script, when supplied with a exponent (public or secret) and a modulus, encrypts standard input with the RSA algorithm and sends the result to standard output. You can get all the info on this from http://dcs.ex.ac.uk/ ~aba/rsa/. In response to why it doesn't work, did you check to see if you have a working copy of the UNIX program "dc"? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBMNTogrZc+sv5siulAQHqPQP+LDCv8cNmyQh0vxcF5hS+Mk96PgpygmL4 QLjcdHZTUKHxRD8/V0b84+JITqc8uPKy/aN6Vp9ZiihRb8VBxWQzbJt5w2YIglW0 jzh1IFiRQ1O2oJzNG+mNjJfrJYwXG88BcajOd7JrsPj0uC9oh5hkRMFgMtFSjNsm m5G+F4rLlBM= =D9LX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- finger markm@voicenet.com for Public Key http://www.voicenet.com/~markm/ Key-ID: 0xF9B22BA5 Fingerprint: bd24d08e3cbb53472054fa56002258d5 -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GAT d- s:- a?
