Hi everybody, I'm having trouble using stream ciphers in Crypto++ 5.5.1.
The FAQ says that the easiest way to use a stream cipher is to use ARC4, but ARC4 is in the Weak namespace and has vulnerabilities, so I don't want to use it. I'd like to use Panama or Salsa20, but my C++ knowledge is limited and I can't figure out how to use it from reading the source code. I know there are modes for standard block ciphers to make them like stream ciphers, but I'm trying to stick with a pure stream cipher for now. I've traced the test program to find the ObjectFactoryRegistry but it seems like a lot of code for one object. Are there any tutorials/examples on how to use the 'recommended' stream ciphers? Do I need to use the object factories used in the test programs? Also, is it time to update the FAQ (http:// www.cryptopp.com/fom-serve/cache/30.html) since its last update was nearly seven years ago and still seems to recommend the use of ARC4? My apologies if I missed some documentation or something really obvious.
