Hi All,
I'm new to Crypto++.
I'm looking for an algo to encrypt/decrypt file streams.
I saw there is a DefaultEncryptorWithMAC() and DefaultDecryptorWithMAC()
which uses DES-EDE2 and HMAC/SHA-1 and takes a passphrase as input.
I was considering using AES as the cipher and doing something similar to
the above. To test the idea, I simply edited default.h and changed the
Default_BlockCipher typedef to be AES (and included aes.h) , i.e.
typedef AES Default_BlockCipher;
Then rebuilt it and ran the test using this to encrypt and decrypt a
file. It seemed to work fine (based on minimal testing).
I haven't analyzed the code with a fine tooth comb to ascertain issues
in doing this...
I know I can always roll my own, handling iv/keys/mode/padding but this
seemed like a quick starting point.
Has anyone else done this? Are there gotchas that I should be aware of?
Thanks
E.
