bethra | Ok, so I was looking at iago's SRP.java and saw the use of several classes that are come with Java. java.util.Random; java.math.BigInteger; java.security.MessageDigest; Now, converting code between languages is something totally new to me. I've never really done something like this before. I thought it would be fairly easy to convert Java code to C++, however the use of these classes that come with Java really make the job harder than I thought. I must now somehow find a way to do what these classes are doing in iago's code using C++. What I need to know is, does C++ have libraries that do what these Java classes do so that converting this code will be not as hard as I think? The MessageDigest class looks like it will prove to be a huge problem. | November 3, 2005, 4:04 AM |
Quarantine | You need to find your own BigInteger library. | November 3, 2005, 4:08 AM |

iago | GMP library is GNU, though, so if you use it then your code is automatically also GNU. Random is just a normal random library. Just use rand()/srand() or whatever your libraries provide. BigInteger is an implementation of arbitrary precision integers. In other words, integers that can expand to any length. There are several implementations out there, I can't say what's better or worse. The MessageDigest I use is just for a simple implementation of SHA1. Find any SHA1 library or class, and you're set. | November 3, 2005, 4:53 AM |

[/quote] Well I was about to suggest thumbing through BNCSUtil's source, but of course I believe that's GPL'd too. Actually, it's LGPL'd. *shrug* http://bncsutil.ionws.com/ | November 3, 2005, 4:58 AM |
