Problems in Cross Platform Enryption?
-
Hi, Iam trying to implement a cross-platform encryption system. i.e, in windows i will encrypt a file and in Linux will try to decrypt it and viceversa. The same encryption algorithm can be used on both platforms. NET has Cryptography namespace in which all this algo are implemented and API's available. But when we go in to linux , we cannot use this .NET API's. so, some libraries muist be available to implement this algo in both platforms. I got some info on using OPENSSL libraries which i can use for implementing encryption algo. But some problems is ther when it comes to cross platform. So, need some guidelines and ideas for this. Please mail me if u had come across similar situation and help in the same. Thanks. Mani

Can u be more specific abt the problems u faced. For cross platform code usability,the general practice is to make code in c/c++,STL. Then compile/link it on diffrent platforms which ever is required. There are lots of free source code available on net which compiles with both Microssoft CL.exe and the unix/linux GCC. cheers...milton.
