Comet Cryptographic Capabilities

Supported Encryption Algorithms

• RC4 - Rivest Cipher 4: Wiki
  • Key Length: Typically 40-256 bits (5-32 bytes)
  • This is the simplest and fastest of the supported algorithms and is the algorithm currently used by Comet-16 and is the default algorithm used by Comet-32. See Encrypt/Decrypt

• 3DES - Triple Data Encryption Standard: Wiki
  • Key Length: 168 bits although 192 bits (24 bytes) must be supplied (parity bits are discarded).
  • Block Size: 8 Bytes

• AES - Advanced Encryption Standard: Wiki
  • Key Length: 128, 192, 256 bits
  • Block Size: 16 Bytes

Supported Hash Algorithms

• SHA1 - Secure Hash Algorithm 1: Wiki
• MD5 - Message Digest 5: Wiki

• Encrypt
• Decrypt
• CryptoSetKeyInfo
• CryptoGenerateRandom
• CryptoCreateHash
