The seccure toolset implements a selection of asymmetric algorithms
|
|
based on elliptic curve cryptography (ECC). In particular it offers
|
|
public key encryption / decryption, signature generation /
|
|
verification and key establishment.
|
|
|
|
ECC schemes offer a much better key size to security ratio than
|
|
classical systems (RSA, DSA). Keys are short enough to make direct
|
|
specification of keys on the command line possible (sometimes this
|
|
is more convenient than the management of PGP-like key rings).
|
|
seccure builds on this feature and therefore is the tool of choice
|
|
whenever lightweight asymmetric cryptography -- independent of key
|
|
servers, revocation certificates, the Web of Trust or even
|
|
configuration files -- is required.
