Command-Line Demo User’s Guide

•BDEMOEC can use ECDSA to create and verify digital signatures for a file, and it can use the Elliptic Curve Authenticated Encryption Scheme (ECAES) to seal and open a digital envelope, placing the output in another file. These demo programs support input files of arbitrary length. As with BDEMO, the file to be sealed with the digital envelope is encrypted using the DES algorithm; however, in BDEMOEC, the DES key is encrypted using ECAES instead of RSA encryption.

This appendix has three sections. “Command-Line Demo User’s Guide” on page 328 shows how to use the BDEMO, BDEMODSA, and BDEMOEC Command-Line Demos. “File Reference” on page 335 explains the files used in these applications. “BSLite” on page 336 describes the BSLite routines.

Command-Line Demo User’s Guide

The three command-line demos are menu-driven applications that demonstrate basic cryptographic operations. Each demo prompts you for commands; you type the responses. The various commands and expected responses are explained in the sections for the individual demos.

BDEMO

Use BDEMO to create and verify an RSA digital signature for a DES-encrypted file. Use it also to seal and open an RSA digital envelope, placing the encrypted output in another file. The signature and envelope methods used by Crypto-C are compatible with the Public-Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS).

Starting BDEMO

Command Line mode

To start BDEMO, enter the following after the system prompt:

>bdemo

Input Redirection mode

You may also run BDEMO in input redirection mode where your responses to the menu prompts are read from a file. For example, to read commands from a file named testin, enter the following after the system prompt:

3 2 8 R S A B S A F E C r y p t o - C D e v e l o p e r ’s G u i d e
