How to generate private/public keys using RSA

675865Sep 13 2010 — edited Sep 16 2010
Greetings,

A new policy has been issued, which will require that all documents are signed by the company and verified by a state authority.

This means that my company will have to generate a private key, which will be kept hidden in the database, and a public key which will be suplied to the state authority for verification purposes.

As an example www.openssl.org has been shown to us with a few examples. After downloading and installing this aplication i am able to generate keys and certificates from the windows command prompt.

However the company would prefer if no outside applications where added to the product so i am wondering if there is anyway to do is using pl sql?
I am aware of DBMS_CRYPTO and DBMS_OBFUSCATION but none of these support the generation like feature of RSA of public / private keys.
The state authority specifically demands the use of RSA algorithm.

I have read all the posts in the forum with "RSA" in them and found nothing useful.
We are considering implementing the RSA algorithm in a procedure but it would be the last option since we don t even know if it is possible.


Any help at all would be apreciated!

thanks
