Asymetrix keys

[ale870]

Hello,
I'm creating an application that requires an asymmetric algorithm (public-key and private-key concept). I have RunRev enterprise edition. Is there any built-in capability to implement it (cross-platform)?

I noticed that every encryption algorithm inside RunRev is a symmetric one.

Thank you for your help!

Hi ale870,
have a look at
http://marksmith.on-rev.com/revstuff/index.html
there is a, asymmetric, Runtime Revolution sha-1 encryption routine for download. It was programmed by Mark Smith, the webpage says. I have not testet it yet, but the author says in another post (http://forums.runrev.com/phpBB2/viewtop ... a.1#p10430) that it might be a tad slow on big inputs but quite useable on smaller inputs (e.g. a few kilobytes).

ale870,

did that work for you? Could you use the sha-1 routine in your code? What did you do with it? What are you trying to accomplish?
Just curious...

Well,
I didn't use that link since it seems related only to Mac version (I work on Windows and Linux

About usage: I'm creating a single sign-on environment for the company where I work. The user will authenticate himself, then he will be able to access to internal infrastructure, including web application, client/server programs, etc...
I need to use asymmetric keys to manage secure login. I need sha-1 to check digitally sign documents and programs, etc...

SInce I haven't those tools in runrev, I decided to use openssl executable program, that I will distribute with the program self (an auto-updating signed client program).

Are you only curious or are you planning to make something more with asymmetric keys?

Only curious, but one of my major (hobbyist) interests lies in cryptography, so I am always curious as to what people encrypt, why and how

Good luck with your efforts!

Interesting! Have you ever tried to write something with runrev (sha-1, asymmetric keys, etc...)?
