Custom security Algorithms (General questions)

by AlexDirk, Thursday, April 01, 2010, 23:43 (5348 days ago)

Hi i want to make a VPN where i can give Users a choice to use custom algorithms and password protection . Something like truecrypt where a drop down lets you select blowfish , two fish aes etc etc.

If i buy your Devloper License with source , will i be able to do so ? Willi be able to add/remove default AES in the implementation . Also does the full source version include virtual adapter driver source ? . I would like it to rename it for my application.

Hi,

If you purchase wodVPN component with source, you still wouldn't be allowed to make shanges to the source. However, we can add additional Encrption algorithms if needed. Currently we have AES128, AES192 and AES256 implemented.

As for the network adapter, we don't provide it along with the source. However wodVPN also works with OpenVPN's network adapter. You can use it's source to customize and recompile it to your needs.

Thax for answering, I will look into Open VPN adapter.

What if it is used for non commercial use, Actually im doing a college project where i wanted to show it is possible to put in my own custom Crypto and compare it with Off the shelf solutions.

If you are giving source and we cant modify it , what can we do with the sources.

Hi,

As per our License Agreement (http://www.weonlydo.com/VPN/Help/License.html), Source code is provided for your storage and protection, and it allows you to modify it if i.e. we go out of business.

In that case , would it be possible for you to give me a plugin based approach where i can just plugin my algorithm and your software uses it ? Plugin would basically be able to call code from external dll/library which will have the crypto algorithm. This would intialize and give encrypt decrypt functionality and be able to handle different block/key sizes for different algorithms.

I will just add and edit my custom crypto to this dll/library. I would have done it myself , but according to your licensing its not allowed as im not allowed to modify source.

Would the above be possible.

PS: Also this is a personal/research project and not a commercial one and there will be no release of source or binary of what i do.

Alex,

Unfortunately, we cannot add that into the existing ActiveX dll.

However, since this is a single research/edu project, if you would purchase source license, we could allow you to make the required changes yourself.

Please note that in that case, you wouldn't be allowed to distribute such binaries.

Hello

Thank you, yes there will be no releases from my side of any kind.

I will talk to my project guide and will probably will purchase coming week.
