As far as I could figure out, no support for public-key cryptography
is supplied
by cocoa. Searching Apple's website, only links to javax and openssl
could be found.
But since I'm new to cryptography, openssl is a bit hard at this
moment...
Does someone already implemented a public-key algorithm to be
integrated in
a ObjC/cocoa project? A simplified interface to DH or RSA or something
would
be fine as well.
You could use my Keychain framework, found at
<
http://sourceforge.net/projects/keychain>.
Despite the name, it handles all sorts of cryptographic operations via
the CDSA. It's still under heavy construction, but it handles all
generic keypair operations, for all the algorithms provided by Apple
(RSA, DSA, FEE, etc).
I haven't done anything with regards to DH specifically, so you might
not have everything you need for that there (I'm vaguely aware of the
need for some specialist functionality). The framework's under the BSD
license though, so you're welcome to contribute any additions you like.
I'll be posting an updated version in the next few days, which for your
particular use probably won't change anything, but which you should
probably grab anyway for the patched memory leaks and other
miscellanea. I've also added more documentation here and there.
