Hi everyone, I wonder if anyone here could point me in the right direction. My question isn't directly Crypto++ related, but I may end up using it to solve my problem. I'm not a cryptography expert.
I'd like to implement a secure communication over TCP/IP or UDP between two of my applications within a local network. I got the client/server part all written and working, talking back and forth. However, I need to encrypt the contents of these messages to make them tamper-proof. Typically these are just a few bytes every few minutes. Setting up an SSL connection is not an option, so I need to encrypt them at the source level. I'm willing to read up on this, but before I choose an algorithm and implementation, can you comment on how to do this in a secure and effective way? Thanks in advance, Fafa
