The Cryptokit library for Objective Caml provides a variety of
|
||
|
|
cryptographic primitives that can be used to implement cryptographic
|
||
|
|
protocols in security-sensitive applications. The primitives provided
|
||
|
|
include:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Symmetric-key cryptography: AES, DES, Triple-DES, ARCfour, in ECB,
|
||
|
|
CBC, CFB and OFB modes. Public-key cryptography: RSA encryption and
|
||
|
|
signature; Diffie-Hellman key agreement. Hash functions and MACs:
|
||
|
|
SHA-1, MD5, and MACs based on AES and DES. Random number generation.
|
||
|
|
Encodings and compression: base 64, hexadecimal, Zlib compression.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Additional ciphers and hashes can easily be used in conjunction
|
||
|
|
with the library. In particular, basic mechanisms such as chaining
|
||
|
|
modes, output buffering, and padding are provided by generic classes
|
||
|
|
that can easily be composed with user-provided ciphers. More
|
||
|
|
generally, the library promotes a "Lego"-like style of constructing
|
||
|
|
and composing transformations over character streams.
