SecretAgent^® API/CLI

Overview

The SecretAgent API/CLI is a development toolkit with highlevel encryption functionality, giving you the tool to add FIPS 140 validated encryption to your own applications.
Supplied functions include:

• RSA, DSA, or ECDSA key generation (with optional PKCS#10 certificate request output)
• file sign, encrypt, or sign and encrypt (encryption uses a hybrid cipher in which random symmetric keys are wrapped with specified users' public keys; RSA, DSA, and ECDSA signature schemes are supported; supplied symmetric ciphers include AES, DES, TDES, DESX, and EA2)
• file inspect, validate, or decrypt and validate
• secure file erasure
• X.509 version 3 certificate parsing and chain validation (with optional CRL checking)
• PKCS#12 import (conversion of an RSA/DSA PKCS#12 file into a certificate file and TDES-encrypted PKCS#8 private key file)
• a growing list of CA functions (e.g., issue/revoke certificates, etc.)

Whether you are a systems integrator wishing to add confidentiality, data integrity, and authentication to your custom solutions or an applications programmer needing to add encryption and digital signature functions to a new document management system or e-mail client, the SecretAgent API/CLI can provide the security features you need.

API/CLI packages are available in the following formats:

• command line executables for Windows, UNIX, or Mac OS X
• dynamic load libraries (DLLs) for Windows or static libraries for UNIX and Mac OS X
• COM interfaces for VisualBASIC applications
• a Java JNI interface for Windows and UNIX platforms (including Mac OS X)
