Dear All,
I want to implement ECIES encryption. To do it, I have to 1) generate ECDH
secret key (the key agreement) and then 2) derive it using Key Derivation
Function 2 (KDF2).
1) For the key agreement, I need to generate a random number. Can you
indicate me the best way to generate this random number because in the
help, clause 9.2 Retrieving random numbers, I found 3 different methods and
I don't know which one is the best for my purpose?
2) Is it correct to use the function gcry_kdf_derive() with GCRY_KDF_PBKDF2
flag to do the Key Derivation Function 2?
3) Does the libgcrypt provides samples for ECIES encryption?
Many thanks in advance for your help,
Best regards,
