In my day job I currently need to deal with a lot of cryptographic processing.
For the tests I need to perform various cryptographic functions in haskell.
these include:
* AES Encryption/Decryption (CBC-Mode)
* RSA Public Key Encryption/Decryption
* Certificate Handling
I'm having some difficulties finding the libraries to use and using them
correctly.
Performance is /not/ my primary concern...rather *correctness* and*ease of use*.
Haskell has some great cryptographic libs but for me it seems hard to judge
what to use. The ones that seem appropriate are:
* The AES package (for symmetric encryption)
* The RSA package (for public key cryptography)
certificate handling is s.th. I haven't found out about
* how to deal with Certificates (e.g. extract the public key from X.509
certificates)
is there a recommended package (packages) that suite my purpose?
Hi,
[this is going to a be shameless self advertising reply :) ...]
for AES, i'ld recommend you to read a recent post of mine "building a better
haskell aes" [1].
for RSA, to have something compatible my next suggestion for x509, you got
either RSA or cryptocipher [2].
for X509, everything you need is available in the certificate package [3]
While you mentioned performance is not your primary concern, I found that even
with medium use of crypto it becomes a significant bottleneck when using some
well established implementations.
