CDSA Sample Code Info
last update 4/24/02 dmitch
Introduction
------------
This directory contains three programs which demonstrate how to
write code using the Common Data Security Architecture (CDSA)
API.
Building
--------
To build all of the examples, open a Terminal window, cd to the
CDSA_Examples directory, and type 'make'. If the LOCAL_BUILD_DIR
environment variable is set, the executables are placed there;
otherwise they are built in place in the respective directories.
Source code
-----------
There are four directories in this package. Three contain the
source for three executables themselves - rsatool, dhTest, and
cryptTool. The fourth is utilLib, which contains a superset of
the code which the three examples need to link against. The only
two files in utilLib of interest for the purpose of these example are:
common.c - setup and initialize CSSM and CSP (see cspDlDbStartup())
cspwrap.c - wrapper functions for some of the crypto operations,
like generate key pair (cspGenKeyPair()), encryption
(cspEncrypt()), and decryption (cspDecrypt()).
See the README files in the respective directories for more
information.
