Bill, Sorry, I understand some of them were very basic questions. I was in little hurry to wrap up this issue. I did not realize the complexity involved in the "openSSL" on VxWorks.
I appreciate your help, so far .. Let me do my home work .. .. thanks again.. -Praveen -----Original Message----- From: Bill Pringlemeir [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 11, 2002 7:07 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Praveen Dulam Subject: Re: VxWorks and OPEN SSL questions - Praveen> Bill I am trying to figure out which of the Dirctories I Praveen> need to compile and link to generate a min size Praveen> cryptographic binary.

The Praveen> point for me , I need a small vxworks image. Riddle me this, why would you compile files name `md4_XXXX.c' when you have used a define to say "-DNO_MD4"? Do you see a problem? Can you see a `compiling methodlogy' that might work? This is somewhat scary to me. Your product won't be secure if you don't understand things. This seems to be a pretty basic concept that might occur to a person, don't compile code that you don't need. Once you actually get the product to build, you will need to do several things to vxWorks to make the product secure. There is more than just encryption that goes into this. Anyways, I am dissuaded from providing any further help to you. You must understand some basic concepts about how the OpenSSL library works. You should look at the code and study the problem a bit more... It does not help you if I feed you answers like this. fwiw, Bill Pringlemeir. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
