"One of those alternatives would be a full-blown library, perhaps something like Bouncy Castle, or Keyczar, or cryptlib."
.. none of which are (easily) usable from Ruby. Would anyone have any recommendations for the gem of programming languages?
- tptacek 17y agoIf you can't write Keyczar bindings for Ruby, maybe cryptography is a little ambitious for you too. Note: Bouncy Castle is not a recommended high-level crypto library. More grevious errors are committed in the name of Bouncy Castle than almost anything but OpenSSL.
- sho 17y agoOf course I have the technical ability to write C bindings (or whatever it is) for $arbitrary_library. Your whole thesis, however, is "crypto is hard, so don't try to do it yourself", so I asked for suggestions on how not to do it myself. And I only mentioned "Bouncy Castle" because it was suggested in the article.
