What encryption and hashing api is used in cocoa?

Apple's documentation: <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Security-date.html>
3rd-party CDSA-based framework: <http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/keychain/> (disclaimer: mine)
CDSA Open Group spec: <http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009608599/start.htm>
OpenSSL: <http://www.openssl.org/>
3rd-party OpenSSL-based framework: <http://septicus.com/products/opensource/>

Take your pick - although that's not an exhaustive list by any means. I'd personally recommend using Apple's API's where possible (meaning, their CDSA implementation) as these are well supported, and support all the extra Mac things that users expect (like keychains and so forth). My Keychain framework (2nd item above) implements a nice ObjC interface on top of Apple's stuff, if you prefer a higher-level.

I have not examined these in detail yet. Im planning to add SDSI. It might require extensive changes in the certificate and auth code.

Is it Legal to port this to other platforms like linux, windows and the bsd's?
