Introduction

So what is implemented in CryptAda?

At this time, and beyond some support functionality, CryptAda provides:

• Text encoders that allow to encode binary information into text and to decode the text into the corresponding binary data. The text encoders currently implemented in CryptAda are:

  • Hexadecimal text encoder. Encodes binary data into sequences of hexadecimal digits.
  • Base16 text encoder. Implemented according the RFC 4648
  • Base64 text encoder. Implemented according the RFC 4648
  • MIME encoder. Implemented according the RFC 2045

• Cryptographic hash functions that map data of arbitrary length into fixed length hashes. These functions are also known as message digests.

  • MD2 (Wikipedia). Implemented according RFC 1319
  • MD4 (Wikipedia). Implemented according RFC 1320
  • MD5 (Wikipedia). Implemented according RFC 1321
  • SHA-1 (Wikipedia)
  • SHA-2 (224, 256, 384, and 512-bit hashes) (Wikipedia)
  • SHA-3 (224, 256, 384, and 512-bit hashes) (Wikipedia)
  • RIPEMD (128, 160, 256, and 320-bit hashes) (Wikipedia)
  • Snefru (128, and 256-bit hashes with security level 4 or 8) (Wikipedia)
