摘要: Cryptographic mechanisms are an important security component of operating system in securing the itself and its communication paths. Indeed, many situations, cryptography is only tool that can solve a particular problem, e.g., network-level security. While by does not guarantee security, when applied correctly, it significantly improve overall Since one main foci OpenBSD various cryptographic employed number different roles. This paper gives overview OpenBSD. We discuss components (IPsec, SSL libraries, stronger password encryption, Kerberos IV, random generators, etc.), their role interactions with rest (and, where applicable, network).
