* Package name : r-cran-openssl Version : 0.9.2 Upstream Author : Jeroen Ooms <jeroen.o...@stat.ucla.edu> * URL : https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/openssl/ * License : MIT Programming Lang: GNU R Description : GNU R toolkit for encryption, signatures and certificates based on OpenSSL Bindings to OpenSSL libssl and libcrypto, plus custom SSH pubkey parsers. Supports RSA, DSA and NIST curves P-256, P-384 and P-521. Cryptographic signatures can either be created and verified manually or via x509 certificates. AES block cipher is used in CBC mode for symmetric encryption; RSA for asymmetric (public key) encryption. High- level envelope functions combine RSA and AES for encrypting arbitrary sized data. Other utilities include key generators, hash functions (md5, sha1, sha256, etc), base64 encoder, a secure random number generator, and 'bignum' math methods for manually performing crypto calculations on large multibyte integers. Remark: This package belongs to a pyramid of dependencies for r-cran-treescape and will be maintained by the Debian Med team at svn://anonscm.debian.org/debian-med/trunk/packages/R/r-cran-openssl/trunk/
