seccure

Seccure Toolset is a software that provides a range of asymmetric algorithms based on elliptic curve cryptography (ECC). Specifically, it offers features such as public key encryption/decryption and signature generation/verification. ECC schemes are preferred as they offer a better key-to-security ratio as compared to traditional systems like RSA or DSA. The software allows for short keys that can be specified directly on the command line and eliminates the need for PGP-like key rings, key servers, revocation certificates, the Web of Trust, or configuration files.

Seccure is available for download as GPL software from the link provided. Once downloaded, it can be installed by running make and make install commands after ensuring libgcrypt is properly installed.

To use Seccure, the software provides examples for key generation, public key encryption/decryption, and signature generation/verification. For key generation, a private key is first specified and the software generates a public key. For encryption and decryption, the user can input a secret message that is encrypted using the public key generated earlier and then decrypted using the private key. Lastly, for signature generation/verification, a message can be input and signed using the private key. This signed message can then be verified using the public key.

Overall, Seccure Toolset is a powerful software that offers secure and streamlined solutions for asymmetric cryptography, without the need for complex key management systems or other supporting tools.
