r-openssl
Toolkit for encryption, signatures and certificates
This package provides R bindings to OpenSSL libssl and libcrypto, plus custom SSH pubkey parsers. It supports RSA, DSA and NIST curves P-256, P-384 and P-521. Cryptographic signatures can either be created and verified manually or via x509 certificates. AES block cipher is used in CBC mode for symmetric encryption; RSA for asymmetric (public key) encryption. High-level envelope functions combine RSA and AES for encrypting arbitrary sized data. Other utilities include key generators, hash functions (md5, sha1, sha256, etc), base64 encoder, a secure random number generator, and bignum math methods for manually performing crypto calculations on large multibyte integers.
