Starting with libgrypt

[Warren, Tony]

Ralf,

The documentation is greatly improved in 1.1.12. (I don't know why the
source page only has 1.1.11 on it - I got version 1.1.12 from this link
in the announce list:
http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-announce/2003q1/000265.html

And there are some test programs that give a general idea of the process
in:
tests/ and src/benchmark.c  

Essentially, the path goes:  data -> MPI -> SEXP -> pk encryption
(still in SEXP)...  The decryption process is basically the same in
reverse.

Certainly there are people on this list who can help you with specific
problems much better than I, but it would be worth your time to browse
through this list, as many common problems have been asked and resolved
already.

Good luck!

Hi,

I'm currently starting with libgrypt. I want to use the public key
algorithms 
(DSA 1024 bit). I looked into the docs (version 1.1.11), but did not
find any 
info about the public key functions.

Are there any examples on how to generate the keys and how to
en-/decrypt 
texts/files?

I would like to know:
How can I tell the lib which pk algorithm to use?
Is there no open function for the pk algorithms?
How does the GcrySexp struct work?

Best regards,
Ralf.
