Recommended Algorithms
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This section is by no means the last word on selecting which
|
|
algorithms to use. However, botan includes a sometimes bewildering
|
|
array of possible algorithms, and unless you're familiar with the
|
|
latest developments in the field, it can be hard to know what is
|
|
secure and what is not. The following attributes of the algorithms
|
|
were evaluated when making this list: security, standardization,
|
|
patent status, support by other implementations, and efficiency (in
|
|
roughly that order).
|
|
|
|
It is intended as a set of simple guidelines for developers, and
|
|
nothing more. It's entirely possible that there are algorithms that
|
|
will turn out to be more secure than the ones listed, but the
|
|
algorithms listed here are (currently) thought to be safe.
|
|
|
|
* Block ciphers: AES or Serpent in CBC, CTR, or XTS mode
|
|
|
|
* Hash functions: SHA-256, SHA-512
|
|
|
|
* MACs: HMAC with any recommended hash function
|
|
|
|
* Public Key Encryption: RSA with "EME1(SHA-256)"
|
|
|
|
* Public Key Signatures: RSA with EMSA4 and any recommended hash, or
|
|
DSA or ECDSA with "EMSA1(SHA-256)"
|
|
|
|
* Key Agreement: Diffie-Hellman or ECDH, with "KDF2(SHA-256)"
