How To Install ghc-RSA on Fedora 36

In this tutorial we learn how to install ghc-RSA in Fedora 36. ghc-RSA is Implementation of RSA, using the padding schemes of PKCS#1 v2.1

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install ghc-RSA on Fedora 36.

What is `ghc-RSA`

This library implements the RSA encryption and signature algorithms for arbitrarily-sized ByteStrings. While the implementations work, they are not necessarily the fastest ones on the planet. Particularly key generation. The algorithms included are based of RFC 3447, or the Public-Key Cryptography Standard for RSA, version 2.1 (a.k.a, PKCS#1 v2.1).

We can use yum or dnf to install ghc-RSA on Fedora 36. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install ghc-RSA.
