CRYPT with SHA512 on itanium 11.31

BoldEagle — Sat, 11 May 2019 00:04:18 GMT

I have a product that uses verification of the user password.

Until now, the code uses the system call "crypt(pass, salt)" to encrypt the password. However, the function does a simple crypt and will not do SHA512.

For example, in Linux the crypt(pass,slat) function take the form for salt = $6$xgdgdgdg$ and will do SHA512.

Does HP UX 11.31 on itanium has a similar function? I did not find any in the MAN 3C pages.

Can someone help me how to improve my code and use SHA512?

Thanks

Greetings,

For addiotnal encryption algorithms, please install the latest HP-UX Kernel Cryptographic Module (HP-UX KCM) v2.1

It contains algorithms of SHA-512.

Greetigns again,

It is also recommended to update/install the latest SSH - https://h20392.www2.hpe.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=T1471AA

And OpenSSL as well - https://h20392.www2.hpe.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=OPENSSL11I

I installed the package but the function crypt() did not change the behavior.

Do you have sample C code that show how to use the new algorithem?

What link parameter I need?

Thanks

HI HP,

I figured out how to do it.

Instead of crypt(pass, salt), I need to use crypt2(pass,salt).

The function crypt2 behaves like the Linux version.

Thanks
