SSL, TLS, and a general cryptography library.
Utilizing the Open SSL 0. being unfaithful. 7c library, developers could write applications that benefit from Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3), Transport Layer Safety (TLS v1). The Start SSL library uses typically the included full-strength general-purpose cryptography library, which can end up being used by itself. Safety features such as typically the following can be executed:
· Data integrity: A great application can detect when data has been revised during transmission.
· Credibility: An application can validate the identity of typically the sender using certificates.
· Privacy: A credit card applicatoin can guarantee that no intermediary in between the sender and typically the recipient can understand typically the data.
Transport Layer Safety is an extension regarding SSL. It is today overseen by an global standards organization. It gives the same capabilities since SSL (data integrity, credibility, and privacy between consumer and server), but makes use of newer, more advanced cryptographic technology. It is back compatible with SSL.
Typically the cryptographic library has a wide variety of encryption algorithms. Typically the symmetric, or private major, encryption algorithms offered contain Rijndael (now officially typically the Advanced Encryption Standard, or perhaps AES, algorithm of typically the U. S. government), THOUGHT, DES, 3DES, RC2, RC4, and Blowfish. The uneven, or private/public key, security algorithms include RSA, DSA, and Diffie-Hellman. Also integrated are message digest codes such as MD2, MD5, MDC2, and SHA, whoever resulting hashes can be utilized by simply digital signature schemes to be able to digitally sign documents. Typically the Open SSL library makes use of some but not all these algorithms.
To compile for your Win32 platform, Perl or perhaps compiling under Cygwin is necessary. Some of the security routines/algorithms are covered by simply patents.
