Basic OpenSSL Question

2006-09-22 Thread Richard Conlan

I am considering OpenSSL for a project and needed some quick info.

Does the OpenSSL crypto library support AES? Which modes? From the
on-line documentation on the website this does not appear to be the
case (http://www.openssl.org/docs/crypto/crypto.html), but of course
typing openssl ciphers returns results including various forms of
AES. But I wasn't sure if this reflected support in the library itself
when not used for SSL/TLS. If the OpenSSL crypto library does not
support AES, any suggestions for similarly licensed libraries that do?

Can anybody provider a pointer to example code, etc., on using the
OpenSSL crypto library? good books on the subject?

Regards,

Richard M. Conlan

This message 
(http://www.mail-archive.com/openssl-users@openssl.org/msg29864.html)
at least suggests that CTR mode actually is supported? All I can
really find are threads basically saying Yup, AES is in there but
without any useful followup. =(

The underlying code includes the following
modes:

AES_ecb_encrypt
AES_cbc_encrypt
AES_cfb128_encrypt
AES_cfb1_encrypt
AES_cfb8_encrypt
AES_ofb128_encrypt
AES_ctr128_encrypt

So CTR is in, but CWC and GCM are not.
