6.6.1 Available asymmetric algorithms

Libgcrypt supports the RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) algorithms as well as DSA (Digital Signature Algorithm) and Elgamal. The versatile interface allows to add more algorithms in the future.

Data type: gcry_ac_id_t

The following constants are defined for this type:

GCRY_AC_RSA

Rivest-Shamir-Adleman

GCRY_AC_DSA

Digital Signature Algorithm

GCRY_AC_ELG

Elgamal

GCRY_AC_ELG_E

Elgamal, encryption only.
