Hi, I'm working on an application that requires RSA and RC5 cryptography but need some help. Before describing the problem, I must confess that I'm quite a newbie in digital security, so please be patient. According to the Palm OS Reference, there's only one cryptography algorithm available in the OS: RC4. So I obviously need to find the ones I need somewhere else. Searching the Internet and this forum's archives I found some alternatives: 1) pilotSSLeay (http://www.isaac.cs.berkeley.edu/pilot/). It supports RSA but does not support RC5. Also, it's GPL'd. By the way, linking to a GPL'd shared library means that my application is GPL? I'm sure it does for desktops, but is this true also for the kind of linking used in Palm OS? 2) RSA SecurID for Palm (http://downloads.zdnet.com/download.aspx?&docid=77351&promo=100511). According to this link, "It also offers shared APIs for developers", but I didn't find any reference to this API. 3) Find an open implementation and port to Palm OS.
Any suggestion? Any tip on #1 or #2? Could one of them solve my problem? I'd really like to avoid option #3, but if there's no other way, can someone suggest an implementation easily portable for Palm OS? Has anyone on the list already done that?
