I’m sorry, but I didn’t think that lifting the algorithms from one of=
these
opensource distros was that difficult. Perhaps I’m missing something =
here,
but at least to me it didn’t seem like much more additional work, esp=
ecially
the ciphering part.
Ciphering algorithms are designed to be implementation agnostic, so w=
hether
or not they were stuck in a DLL, an exe, or any other binary isn’t of=
issue
(especially since you have the source).
Could you please let us know what exactly is giving you trouble in th=
e
ciphering algorithm which makes it difficult for you to implement cip=
hering?
Regardless of the distro, if you don’t understand how the ciphering w=
orks in
the algorithm you choose, it may be difficult for you to implement th=
e
ciphering properly. In addition, chunking the datastream into the rig=
ht size
blocks for ciphering can be a bit of a pain. If that’s what you’re re=
ferring
to, then yes, ciphering is a bit of work, especially if you are doing=
it for
the first time in a NT driver.
