The need for authentication and encryption is constantly increasing as more people gain access to the Internet and more people use it to conduct their daily business. As more people conduct financial transactions over the Internet, the potential for breach of privacy and fraud is enormous. The demand for secure network applications is set to explode. Architecture Like the rest of the library, the security support in Karma is built on a layered approach. The various packages in the Karma library which provide security support are listed below.
International patents are pending.
There is no license fee required for noncommercial use. Ordinary random number generators are not suited to cryptographic applications. The cen package provides an encrypting filter mechanism for Channels. Once a channel is created, the data transfer may be secured by pushing an encryption filter onto the channels converter stack. Currently, only IDEA encryption is supported.
