Frequently Asked Questions

What hash functions SILC support?

SILC Secure Internet Live Conferencing
The required hash function is SHA-1, but also the MD5 is added to the specification as optional hash function. The SHA-1 is also the required hash function when used as part of HMAC to provide integrity protection for encrypted packets.

What other algorithms SILC support?

SILC Secure Internet Live Conferencing
The AES is the only required algorithm. The protocol specification also lists optional algorithms like Twofish, CAST, etc., and you can negotiate other algorithms as well during the SILC key exchange protocol, if needed.
Related Questions

What encryption modes SILC support?

SILC Secure Internet Live Conferencing
The required encryption mode currently is CBC with inter-packet chaining. The specification recommends implementations to use CTR mode as well, and defines randomized CBC (with random IV's) as optional mode. It is also possible to negotiate other modes during SILC key exchange protocol, if needed. We have also looked into so called authenticated encryption modes that NIST are currently considering. More information will follow later.
Related Questions

What public key algorithms SILC support?

SILC Secure Internet Live Conferencing
The required public key algorithm is RSA, but optional support is for DSS. The RSA algorithm in SILC supports PKCS#1 standard. During the key exchange protocol also Diffie-Hellman public key algorithm is used to exchange keys. The Diffie-Hellman in SILC supports PKCS#3 standard. Adding support for other algorithms like El Gamal is possible by negotiating them in SILC key exchange. PGP keys, or as they are officially called OpenPGP certificates are supported in SILC protocol.

What kind of presence modes SILC support?

SILC Secure Internet Live Conferencing
By presence we mean indication of presence in the network, and SILC supports several different kinds of presence modes. They can be changed with the UMODE command which changes your user mode in the network. Currently there are the following modes for presence: GONE (I'm away), INDISPOSED (I cannot be here), BUSY (I'm busy, don't bother me), PAGE (page me if you want to talk), and HYPER (I'm hyper active, talk to me). When mode is not set it means you are present in the network.

What hash functions (and how many of them) does Squid use?

SQUID Frequently Asked Questions: Cache Digests
The protocol design allows for a variable number of hash functions (k). However, Squid employs a very efficient method using a fixed number - four. Rather than computing a number of independent hash functions over a URL Squid uses a 128-bit MD5 hash of the key (actually a combination of the URL and the HTTP retrieval method) and then splits this into four equal chunks. Each chunk, modulo the digest size (m), is used as the value for one of the hash functions - i.e. an index into the bit array.

Who is behind the SILC?

SILC Secure Internet Live Conferencing
The SILC was developed by Pekka Riikonen in Finland. He also started the SILC project that now coordinates the SILC development. He has worked for years in the field of security, for example several years at the SSH Communications Security Corporation as Chief Engineer with responsibilities in IPSEC core development. The SILC Project consists of several volunteers who maintain the SILC Network, its routers and servers. Volunteers who provide the silcnet.

What do I use for my hash table?

CS 241 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Your hashtable will be an array of objects which hold a key and a DataRecord. (Suppose that you define a DictionaryRecord class. In Java remember that when you have an array of type DictionaryRecord, each entry of the array is really a reference to a DictionaryRecord). Yes. The Terminal class was modified to do this.

What is SILC Toolkit?

SILC Secure Internet Live Conferencing
SILC Toolkit is a package intended for software developers who would like to develope their own SILC based applications or help in the development of the SILC. The Toolkit includes SILC Protocol Core library, SILC Crypto library, SILC Key Exchange (SKE) library, SILC Math library, SILC Modules (SIM) library, SILC Utility library, SILC Client library and few other libraries.

Where can I find SILC clients?

SILC Secure Internet Live Conferencing
The official SILC client is available for free download from the silcnet.org web page. There are also several independent projects working with the SILC Toolkit to come up with various other clients, mostly GUI clients. See our links page for links to other clients.

Why SILC? Why not IRC3?

SILC Secure Internet Live Conferencing
Question that is justified no doubt of that. SILC was not started to become a replacement for IRC. SILC was something that didn't exist in 1996 or even today except that SILC is now released. However, I did check out the IRC3 project in 1997 when I started coding and planning the SILC protocol. But, IRC3 is problematic. Why? Because it still doesn't exist. The project is almost at the same spot where it was in 1997 when I checked it out. And it was old project back then as well.

What's a hash code?

Registered Commons
To compare a file on your harddisk with a registration at RegisteredCommons, you can use one of the following methods: Under Apple OSX, use the shell-command: md5 <filename>, if you're using Linux, use md5sum <filename>. For Windows(TM), there is a little free software (GPL) tool: MD5 GUI. You can get all the Metadata of any file registered at RegisteredCommons, by using it in the url as in the following example: http://www.registeredcommons.

How do I iterate over a hash?

AnnoCPAN - Template::FAQ
This is covered in the Template::Manual::VMethods section of the manual page. A list of all the keys that are in the hash can be obtained with the 'keys' virtual method. You can then iterate over that list and by looking up each key in turn get the value.

What about Hash tables?

ChessGenius for SmartPhone FAQ
Hash tables are used to store parts of the search tree. If ChessGenius encounters a position already in the hash table the result can be retrieved from the table thus saving search time.

What is the MD5 Hash?

BL Torrents :: FAQ
The MD5 hash, like many other hashing algorithms, is a one-way function that uses mathematical operations to convert a given input to an output of a specific length, known as the "digest" or "fingerprint" of the input. It has many practical uses, including being put on tests and exams in university, encryption, and file integrity checking.

What is the difference between SILC server and SILC router?

SILC Secure Internet Live Conferencing
The topology of the SILC network includes SILC routers and the SILC servers (and SILC clients of course). Normal SILC server does not have direct connections with other SILC servers. They connect directly to the SILC router. SILC Routers may have several server connections and they may connect to several SILC routers. The SILC routers are the servers in the network that know everything about everything.

Is there anyone else than SILC Project implementing SILC protocol?

SILC Secure Internet Live Conferencing
There has been others developing their own implementations of the SILC protocol as well. See our links page for links to those projects.

Why is the SILC Client and SILC Server distributed in SILC Toolkit?

SILC Secure Internet Live Conferencing
They are not actually. The SILC Client and SILC Server code is distributed in SILC Toolkit merely as example code for how to use the SILC Toolkit. The SILC Client and SILC Server distirbutions may include different code than what is found in the SILC Toolkit distribution. You should not use the client and server found in SILC Toolkit in production environment, but treat them merely as example applications.
