A Javascript library to perform OpenSSL RSA Encryption, Decryption, and Key Generation.
http://travistidwell.com/jsencrypt
When browsing the internet looking for a good solution to RSA Javascript encryption, there is a whole slew of libraries that basically take the fantastic work done by Tom Wu @ http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~tjw/jsbn/ and then modify that code to do what they want.
What I couldn't find, however, was a simple wrapper around this library that basically uses the library practically untouched, but adds a wrapper to provide parsing of actual Private and Public key-pairs generated with OpenSSL.
This library is the result of these efforts.
This library should work hand-in-hand with openssl. With that said, here is how to use this library.
openssl genrsa -out rsa_1024_priv.pem 1024
cat rsa_1024_priv.pem
openssl rsa -pubout -in rsa_1024_priv.pem -out rsa_1024_pub.pem
cat rsa_1024_pub.pem

This is a test!
Look at how http://www.travistidwell.com/jsencrypt/demo works to get a better idea.
Signing and verification works in a similar way.
// Sign with the private key... var sign = new JSEncrypt(); sign.setPrivateKey($('#privkey').val()); var signature = sign.sign($('#input').val(), CryptoJS.SHA256, "sha256");// Verify with the public key... var verify = new JSEncrypt(); verify.setPublicKey($('#pubkey').val()); var verified = verify.verify($('#input').val(), signature, CryptoJS.SHA256);
// Now a simple check to see if the round-trip worked. if (verified) { alert('It works!!!'); } else { alert('Something went wrong....'); }
signmethod. Possible values are:
md2,
md5,
sha1,
sha224,
sha256,
sha384,
sha512,
ripemd160.
This library heavily utilizes the wonderful work of Tom Wu found at http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~tjw/jsbn/.
This jsbn library was written using the raw variables to perform encryption. This is great for encryption, but most private keys use a Private Key in the PEM format seen below.

This library simply takes keys in the following format, and translates it to those variables needed to perform the encryptions used in Tom Wu's library.
Here are some good resources to investigate further. - http://etherhack.co.uk/asymmetric/docs/rsakeybreakdown.html - http://www.di-mgt.com.au/rsa_alg.html - https://polarssl.org/kb/cryptography/asn1-key-structures-in-der-and-pem
With this information, we can translate a private key format to the variables required with the jsbn library from Tom Wu by using the following mappings.
modulus => n public exponent => e private exponent => d prime1 => p prime2 => q exponent1 => dmp1 exponent2 => dmq1 coefficient => coeff
