Next: , Up: AC Interface


6.6.1 Available asymmetric algorithms

Libgcrypt supports the RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) algorithms as well as DSA (Digital Signature Algorithm) and Elgamal. The versatile interface allows to add more algorithms in the future.

— Data type: gcry_ac_id_t

The following constants are defined for this type:

GCRY_AC_RSA
Rivest-Shamir-Adleman
GCRY_AC_DSA
Digital Signature Algorithm
GCRY_AC_ELG
Elgamal
GCRY_AC_ELG_E
Elgamal, encryption only.
