I also have the same problem, no beginners stuffs. ;-) please forward to me what you got, if there's any. thanks. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Mike Eldridge Sent: Wednesday, November 22, 2000 3:07 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Quick Start Guide (tm) As in I am looking for one ;) Anyhow, this is my first post to this list, so no harassment. :) I'm looking to include connection encryption and/or private/public key verification and what-not into a new version of a client/server application I have written. I will stress that I am not crypto-proficient. I know what DES is, I know what MD5 is, but that's about the extent of my fluency in various ciphers. DSA, blowfish, IDEA, these are all just names of ciphers to me. I've read most of the openssl documentation, which is a pretty good reference for the different functions available for particular ciphers, but there really is no beginner's guide. I'd love some pointers on what's the best cipher to use for a secure connection, some advantages and disadvantages to each cipher, and, probably most important, some sample code on how to *use* a particular cipher. Thanks in advance, Mike ----------------------------------------------------- Save the whales. Feed the hungry.
