OpenBSD Cryptography

The Export Control List of Canada places no restriction on the export of cryptographic software, and is in fact even more explicit about the free export of freely-available cryptographic software. Marc Plumb has also done a fair bit of research to test the cryptographic laws.

Hence the OpenBSD project has cryptography into numerous places in the operating system:

• Strong blowfish based password entries.
• KerberosIV fully integrated.
• IPSEC with 10+ cyphers integrated into the OS.
• IPSEC Photuris daemon
• Strong random number components used in numerous places.
• All the normal DES code in libc, where it belongs.
• (What have I missed?)
