What’s New in Version 5.2.2?

Following is a list of RSA BSAFE Crypto-C features that are new in version 5.2.2:

Improved performance

With the new performance improvements, you’ll be able to use RSA BSAFE Crypto- C’s algorithms at unprecedented levels of speed and throughput across a wide range of hardware platforms. RSA BSAFE Crypto-C’s support for the Intel Itanium™ and Pentium™4 processors will allow developers the ability to take advantage of benefits of these powerful processors. Also, RSA Security’s implementation of Compaq’s patented MultiPrime technology is designed to process encryption/decryption tasks more than two times faster than previous methods. Typical tasks where customers will experience these performance enhancements are for SSL transactions (signing on the server or client side) and non-repudiation operations (verifying on the client side).

Hardware support

RSA BSAFE Crypto-C products include PKCS #11 hardware support to allow communication with hardware like smart cards (for secure key storage) and cryptographic accelerator cards (for performance improvements). PKCS #11 support is in addition to the BHAPI hardware support offered in previous versions of Crypto- C.

MultiPrime RSA

MultiPrime RSA functionality has been added to Crypto-C v5.2. Use this new function to generate RSA public/private key pairs. RSA MultiPrime key generation follows the same steps as standard RSA key generation with two exceptions: the use of a different AI, AI_RSAMultiPrimeKeyGen, and a different AM must be passed in during the B_GenerateInit call: AM_RSA_MULTI_PRIME_KEY_GEN.

Serialization for algorithm objects performing RC4, Diffie Hellman key exchange

A new algorithm information type, AI_RC4Serialize, has been added to Crypto-C
