r-openssl 2.3.4

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.

Installation

Install r-openssl 2.3.4 as follows:

guix install r-openssl@2.3.4

Or install the latest version:

guix install r-openssl

You can also install packages in augmented, pure or containerized environments for development or simply to try them out without polluting your user profile. See the guix shell documentation for more information.
