Scooter Software is looking for a short-term contractor experienced with encryption to update some legacy SHA1/TwoFish code. Using Delphi XE with a C bignum library. Remote workers welcome. Email support@scootersoftware.com if interested.
Eugene Mayevski We have existing source code that already does some sort of public key encryption . It's written in Delphi, but uses a C bignum library for some portion of the math. Unfortunately, it appears to have a hard coded key length of 96 bits, which we need increased, hopefully without breaking the ability to use the smaller key size when necessary. I think it would be a relatively easy task for someone who knows the algorithms involved, but I don't, and getting up to speed would take long enough we'd just like to farm it out.
The updates don't have to use that library, and we already have licenses for SecureBlackBox, so if switching would make the change easier/more maintainable, I wouldn't object. Does Eldos still do cryptography consulting?

Yes, we can help you to at least refine the requirements and choose the right way to upgrade your code.
ReplyDeleteGreat! I'll post through the Eldos Helpdesk to get the ball rolling.
