Hi! I am somewhat new to cryptography, so please bare with me.
I need to write a simple FTP client, that would send data in an encrypted format,
either using PGP or SSL. The machine the client would be located on, would be a stand
alone box with a modem that connects directly to a server with a commercial FTP server
with SSL incorporated into it. Both the client and server machines, are stand alone
boxes with no access to the internet.
The questions I have are as follows:
1) Can we get away with implementing the client to go without out using digital
certificates that have to be verified by a certificate authenticator ?
2) Would self generated key pairs suffice (using req for instance), or must the keys
be generated by a recognized issuer?
3) What libraries if any are required at run time? Or would the FTP client binary be
portable without having to install supporting libraries?
Thanks!
Hnau
