Botan Examples

The following HTML-ized examples are available. The actual sources are included in the Botan source distribution. This is hardly complete coverage of what the library can do, but it gives some examples of how easy many common operations are when using Botan. All of these examples (plus many others) are included in the source distributions.

• ca: A very simplistic CA, which signs PKCS #10 certificate requests.
• factor: Factor integers using Pollard's rho algorithm
• pkcs10: Generate a PKCS #10 certificate request, storing the private key in another file.
• self_sig: Generate a self-signed X.509v3 certificate.
• dsa_kgen: Generate an DSA key, and export the public and private keys to files, with the private key being encrypted as a PKCS #8 object.
• dsa_sign: Take a PKCS #8 encrypted DSA private key, decrypt it, and sign a message using it.
• dsa_ver: Verify a signature created by dsa_sign.
