Introduction
The Free Cryptographic Library (FCL) is a cryptographic library with source code. This source code can be used for demo or test purposes on PCs, on or with embedded platforms. Implemented algorithms are currently: ECDSA signature and verification for P192, P256, P384, P521, BP256, BP384, BP512, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512 and SIA256. AES encryption, decryption in ECB, CBC modes and CBC-MAC, for 128-bit, 192-bit and 256-bit keys. SHA3 is also available.
For more robust or specific cryptographic needs, see the Universal Cryptographic Library (UCL).
- Warning
- The FCL contains confidential documentation and code. It can be delivered as source code, even externally to Maxim. However, delivery to customers requires an NDA.
- This software is only here for test and demo purposes.
- This implementation is not secure and does not protect the ECC private/AES secret keys.
- The random number generator is not robust and will generate the same numbers at each startup (PRNG).
Pre-requisites
Install Cygwin or MSYS2 with the adequate gcc compiler.
How to build the FCL
on a x86-cygwin PC or MSYS2, just run build_fcl_x86
