ECDSA and ECICS with OpenSSL

2007-09-19 Thread Markus Schaber
Hi, Is it possible to implement ECDSA and ECICS using OpenSSL? I did not find anything in the documentation or the man pages, although I was told that OpenSSL is capable of elliptic curve cryptography which had been donated by sun. Btw, are there any patent implications? Thanks, Markus -- Mar

Hi Marek, I am sorry to write you directly but I have posted my question twice on the openssl site and for some reason it never get published. I would like to use only the ECDSA, is there any simple way to compile it alone (ofcourse with the modules it's using). I have tried doing it manually, but

Hi Marek, First I would like to thank you for your quick reply. I just have one more small question :) As far as I could see the ASN.1 is used basically to calculate the size of the signature (at least on the ecdsa side). So if I know exactly the size of the signatures then I can only remove the u

Hi Marek, As I mentioned before, I am using the openSSL directory for its support for the ECDSA. Which I need to implement the AACS standard. I am not sure you are familiar with it, but in short the problem I am encountering right now is that in the AACS Std the signatures are represented as 40 by
