Hi everybody,
I've been trying to use Crypto++ 5.2.1 on OpenBSD. It compiles and
links properly using GNU Make. However, when I try to run the test
program, I get the following:
-bash-3.1$ ./cryptest.exe v
Using seed: 1147052991
Testing Settings...
passed: Your machine is little endian.
passed: sizeof(byte) == 1
passed: sizeof(word16) == 2
passed: sizeof(word32) == 4
passed: sizeof(word64) == 8
passed: sizeof(word) == 4, sizeof(dword) == 8
Testing operating system provided blocking random number generator...
CryptoPP::Exception caught: OS_Rng: read /dev/random operation failed
with error 5
I've tried changing the references in osrng.cpp to use /dev/srandom and
/dev/urandom as mentioned in the list archives and got a core dump after
cryptest.exe passes the DMAC test.
I have two questions:
1) Is this expected?
2) I am planning on using Crypto++ for a secure network communication
program that uses stream and block ciphers, digital signatures and
hashes. Will this be a problem? I suspect it will be for the stream
ciphers.
I've got a stack trace attached below and the GCC version output.
Thanks
