Subject: | why is crypt package missing dsa, rsa, elgamal, etc? |

This is my first-ever query in this forum – please be
kind ! I’ve been poking around in the GRUB2 code lately, and
noticed that part of the libgcrypt package doesn’t get included in the
built modules. I see how the Python script translates the standard
libgcrypt source files into new ones that can compile in the GRUB build
environment, but I also notice that DSA, RSA, ElGamal, ECC, PrimeGen(?) do not
actually get compiled. Perhaps this is because they rely on some other
functionality that isn’t present, such as MPI (multiple-precision
integers) ? (a side effect is that several source files are translated
and then not used.) What would it take to get them working? Has anyone
looked at this before to size it up? I have an application to verify a DSA signature during the
bootloader, and without it I’ll have to propose a different approach to
my customer. Thanks, |
