Hello all, I know, it's not absolutely correct question for this mailing list, but I don't know any other places to send my message. I'm using an apache, mod_ssl and OpenSSL to make a SSL connections to my server. My main goal is to transfer some data to the server and return an answer. If I use an SSL - all ok,but not all potential clients of my server could establish an SSL connection. I'm going to make an additional service (write a Perl script) for such clients. This "extra" will crypt data at the client side, send it to my server and wait for the encrypted answer. Cipher I'm going to use is HCE_SHA1. There is a CGI::EncryptForm module on the CPAN, wich uses this algorithm. May be somebody know how reliable is HCE_SHA1 cipher? Or it only depends on the "reliableness" of the random generator it uses. Then how is it if it uses standard Perl rand() function ? Might me exists better solution within using of the Perl? Complicacy of the subject is that i can't install binaries to the client side. Maximum what i can install on the client side - my own script. Also client could have any OS and any web server. Perl seems to me the most multiplatform solution for the web, is it? Please, if somebody know a source of knowledges regarding my questions ( in the internet ), drop me a link. Please help ! Thanks in advance and best regards, Fedor ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
