Introduction
This manual is a reference guide for developers who use RSA BSAFE
®
Crypto-C
(Crypto-C), a core-cryptography SDK.
To familiarize yourself with Crypto-C, you may wish to read the
Crypto-C User’s
Manual
before referencing this manual. In particular, you may be interested in the
“Introductory Example” in Chapter 1. The
User’s Manual
also describes cryptographic
concepts and shows how to successfully add Crypto-C to your application.
After you have read the
User’s Manual
and understand the steps involved in creating a
Crypto-C application, you can turn to this reference manual. The algorithm
information types (AIs) carry the underlying cryptography, so we put this essential
information up front (Chapter 2). Next, the key information types (KIs) provide the
values for those AIs that require keys (Chapter 3). The last chapter (Chapter 4)
contains the application programming interface (API) itself. Make sure to read this
chapter, as it provides a review of the Crypto-C components.
