Re: Encryption support in openssl

2010-11-20 Thread Brad House
Sounds like you want to look into the ocf-linux patchset. http://ocf-linux.sourceforge.net/ That said, you should realize that even if you have a hardware crypto accelerator, small encryption blocks will probably be faster in pure userland due to the penalty of kernel/userland context switches,

Does the release of 0.9.8j also include the FIPS module support? (i.e., is this a bug-fix only release, or does this include what you have been working on for the past few months as well?) The actual 0.9.8j release announcement stated: This is the first full release of OpenSSL that can link

Use RAND_egd(/var/opt/prngd/egd-pool) in whatever program you're compiling to use with OpenSSL. Just make sure you call that routine before doing any SSL functions. -Brad KING,RICHARD (HP-Boise,ex1) wrote: OS: HPUX 11 SSL VER: OpenSSL 0.9.6g 9 Aug 2002 Hello, I'm compiling SSL from source.

My company has had great success with PRNGd. It basically takes log files, and whatever else it can get its hands on to generate a pool of random characters... Anyhow, you can get it from here: http://www.aet.tu-cottbus.de/personen/jaenicke/postfix_tls/prngd.html It supports about any OS that

? I'm specifically considering this for Solaris 2.7. Also, do Apache and/or modSSL have to be compiled at the same bit level as openSSL or is that a separate decision? If anyone knows or can direct me to relevent info it is appreciated... -- - Brad House Sr

Re: openssl-0.9.6b-2 Install problem

2002-06-02 Thread Brad House
I don't think this is an appropriate question for this mailing list, though I will answer your question. The problem is with dependancies and RPMs ... The first error you got obviously was because you already had a previous version of OpenSSL installed. The second error occurred because there

Well, here it is... Works great for me, passed all tests. Creates a 64bit OpenSSL package for Solaris using the newly released GCC 3.1 Just patch and run ./Configure solaris64-sparcv9-gcc31 I'd recommend creating both 64bit and 32bit versions depending on your project, where for the 64bit

EVP and Blowfish key lengths

2002-05-24 Thread Brad House
Ok, I looked at the openssl documentation stating that blowfish accepts a variable key length. But it also says to use the EVP method of encryption for Applications because it provides a more generic way to use multiple algorithms, etc... Anyhow, I can't set a different key length for blowfish

Re: EVP and Blowfish key lengths

But when I comment out the key length line, and truncate the key so it's only 16 bytes instead of 32, it returns the same ciphertext. Is it not possible with EVP to change the key size?? I've checked the return code of EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length, and everything looks like it should be

2002-05-10 Thread Brad House
from my experience on Mac OS X, you have to move /usr/lib/*ssl.dylib* and /usr/lib/*crypto.dylib* out of the library path (because OpenSSL seems to try to link against those objects instead of the newly created ones) Then rebuild openssl ... anyhow, that has worked for me in the past ... Just
