Linux Version of CryptoSys API
Linux Version of CryptoSys API
This is a beta release of a Linux Version of CryptoSys API.
The API is provided as a static library diCryptoSys.a which can be compiled
with your own source code on compatible 32-bit Intel x86 systems, and a shared library libcryptosysapi.so.
There is a similar Linux version of its sister product CryptoSys PKI
available here.
We've compiled this on a on a Pentium 4 running Ubuntu GNU/Linux 2.6.15-55-386 with gcc version 4.0.3 (Ubuntu 4.0.3-lubuntu5) targeting i486-linux-gnu. We've tested it on an older i686 Red Hat Linux system with gcc version 2.9 without a problem. It is not compiled for use in a multi-threaded environment
We offer this Linux version free of charge and free of any responsibilities for performance or support. Please read the Copyright and terms below before using. If it works for you, please use it.
We do not have the facilities to recompile it for a different target machine. The source code is not available; well, not for free anyway.
If you are using this in a commercial environment or making money from it, please do the right thing and consider buying a developer's licence. We will gladly provide support in programming and showing how to use the functions correctly, but we can't help you make it work on different systems. It comes as is.
The download includes the static library, shared library, some test programs and a random number seed generator. Linux version last updated 27 January 2011 for version 4.5 of CryptoSys API. For more details, please see the readme file in the download.
