Introduction

• public key algorithms: RSA, DSA/ECDSA, DH/ECDH
  (digital signatures, encryption/decryption, key agreement)
• symmetric ciphers: AES, TDES/DES/DESX, EES, RC2, RC4
  (most FIPS-approved modes of operation are supported)
• message digests: SHA-1, SHA-256/384/512, MD2, MD5, CRC-32
• keyed hash functions: HMAC-SHA1, HMAC-MD5
• pseudorandom number generation; primality testing
• high-precision arithmetic (rings of integers, finite fields, elliptic curves)

Among the CDK's more advanced features are:

• X.509v3 certificate/CRL parsing and creation
• PKCS#7/#8/#10/#12 PDU parsing and creation
  (including support for the parsing and creation of S/MIME CMS PDUs)
• an OCSP client
• a simple SSL/TLS client

CDK 7.0 is available on a wide range of platforms:

• Windows 9x/ME/NT/2000/XP, PocketPC 2002/ARM, Windows Mobile 5
• Solaris/SPARC, Solaris/Intel, SunOS/SPARC
• HP-UX 10/11
• IBM AIX (32- and 64-bit versions)
• Linux i86
• Mac OS X
• SGI IRIX 6.x
• Compaq Tru64
