RSAREF is a free, portable software developer's library of popular
|
|
|
|
|
encryption and authentication algorithms. The name "RSAREF" means
|
|
|
|
|
"RSA reference." RSA Laboratories intends RSAREF to serve as a free,
|
|
|
|
|
educational reference implementation of modern public- and secret-key
|
|
|
|
|
cryptography.

If you are located outside the USA, you should use the security/librsaintl
|
|
|
|
|
port instead, which has better performance and fewer limitations.

RSAREF 2.0 supports the following algorithms:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o RSA encryption and key generation, as defined by RSA
|
|
|
|
|
Laboratories' Public-Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o MD2 and MD5 message digests
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o DES (Data Encryption Standard) in cipher-block chaining mode
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Diffie-Hellman key agreement
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o DESX, RSA Data Security's efficient, secure DES enhancement
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Triple-DES, for added security with three DES operations
