Question:
Does Symbian support raw cryptographic algorithms, Key generation, Secure storage, User certificate import, Digital signature
formats
Answer:
Access to Symbian OS support for cryptographic algorithms is provided only to Symbian OS Development Kit and Customisation
Kit Licensees. The Kits include documentation, header files, and binaries for strong encryption.
Other Symbian and Licensee SDKs contain binaries for weak encryption only (no header files or documentation). The reasons
for this restriction is that cryptographic products are subject to UK Export Control.
Symbian OS supports cryptography and some related functionality.
Supported Raw Ciphers
** Symbian OS v6.0 to v7.0 supports
Symmetric: DES, RC2, RC4, RC5
Asymmetric: DSA, RSA, DH.
Hash: MD2, MD5, SHA.
** Symbian OS v7.0s and onwards supports:
Symmetric: AES, DES, 3DES, RC2, RC4
Asymmetric: DSA, RSA, DH.
Hash: MD2, MD5, SHA1, HMAC.
Key generation
Supported on all versions of Symbian OS
User certificate import
