What crypto standards are there?
US govt standards for DES, SHA, DSA, AES, and others are here: [url]http://csrc.nist.gov/[/url] IEEE-1363 and forthcoming amendments cover various public key algorithms, and have a lot of practical implementation information. [url]http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/1363/[/url] For network security protocols, see SSH, IPSEC, SSL (TLS), and S/MIME. These are widely available, and it is nearly always better to use one of these, than to reinvent the wheel.
