You have done quite some work on the crypto front...cool! since you are the owner of cryptocipher and your new package cipher-aes: is cryptocipher now deprecated?
the certificate library fits my needs perfectly! so my current setup includes: cipher-aes (AES), by Vincent Hanquez certificate (for X509 certificates), by Vincent Hanquez The RSA package (RSA public key crypto), by Adam Wick, depends on The crypto-pubkey-types package by Vincent Hanquez so let's just hope you stick around for some time Vince, my code now fully depends on you ;) On Friday, August 24, 2012 3:31:45 PM UTC+2, Vincent Hanquez wrote: > > On 08/24/2012 01:47 PM, marcmo wrote: > > > > In my day job I currently need to deal with a lot of cryptographic > processing. > > For the tests I need to perform various cryptographic functions in > haskell. > > these include: > > > > * AES Encryption/Decryption (CBC-Mode) > > * RSA Public Key Encryption/Decryption > > * Certificate Handling > > > > I'm having some difficulties finding the libraries to use and using them > > correctly. > > Performance is /not/ my primary concern...rather *correctness* and*ease > of use*. > > > > Haskell has some great cryptographic libs but for me it seems hard to > judge > > what to use.
