Thanks a lot guys for helping me ... @ Wojciech I went though the document and will use PBKDF1 from PKCS #5 for key derivation,its also supported in cryptopp so its great.
I would seek if it is possible to do what i am trying to do with crypto ++ in a better way,all ideas are welcome. My task is to securely store some keys which my software uses on the pc, so in case the Client forgets these keys ( he types them to access data and can change them ) then a administrator can recover them.But these keys should not be recoverable by anyone other than the admin. Symmetric Cryptography requires the key to be stored somewhere so i choose Asymmetric cryptography ( RSA 2048 ) , where in the administrator has the private key while all clients have public key for encryption.But as i do not store the private key anywhere i needed a deterministic way of generating it incase it is required again for recovering the public key encrypted keys. So can the above be achieved in crypto++ ... Thank you in advance ... On Aug 4, 6:37 pm, "Wojciech S.
