Encrypting Files for Storage

The BlackDog SDK provides the OpenSSL package, which includes a libcrypto library for encrypting any type of file for storage on the BlackDog device. Any process can store encrypted files in any writeable location on the device.

The libcrypto consists of several sub-libraries that implement the individual algorithms:

• symmetric encryption (blowfish, cast, des, idea, rc2, rc4, rc5)
• public key cryptography and key agreement (dsa, dh, rsa)
• certificate handling (x509, x509v3)
• cryptographic hash functions (hmac, md2, md4, md5, mdc2, ripemd, sha)
• cryptographic pseudo-random number generator

For information on how to use the libcrypto library to encrypt files for storage on the BlackDog, please refer to the Third-Party Documentation link in the SDK at OpenSSL crypto or at: http://www.openssl.org/docs/crypto/crypto.htm.
