|
MIRACL is a Big Number Library which implements all of the primitives
|
|
necessary to design Big Number Cryptography into your real-world
|
|
application. It is primarily a tool for cryptographic system
|
|
implementors. RSA public key cryptography, Diffie-Hellman Key
|
|
exchange, DSA digital signature, they are all just a few procedure
|
|
calls away. Support is also included for even more esoteric Elliptic
|
|
Curves and Lucas function based schemes. The latest version offers
|
|
full support for Elliptic Curve Cryptography over GF(p) and GF(2m).
|
|
Less well-known techniques can also be implemented as MIRACL allows
|
|
you to work directly and efficiently with the big numbers that are
|
|
the building blocks of number-theoretic cryptography. Although
|
|
implemented as a C library, a well-thought out C++ wrapper is
|
|
provided, which greatly simplifies program development. Most example
|
|
programs (25+ of them) are provided in both C and C++ versions.
