Protecting Files With the Oracle Solaris Cryptographic Framework (Task Map)

The Oracle Solaris Cryptographic Framework can help you protect your files. The following task map points to procedures for listing the available algorithms, and for protecting your files cryptographically.

Task	Description	For Instructions
Generate a symmetric key	Generates a random key for use with algorithms that the user specifies.	How to Generate a Symmetric Key by Using the `dd` Command
	Generates a key of user-specified length. Optionally, stores the key in a file, a PKCS #11 keystore, or an NSS keystore.	How to Generate a Symmetric Key by Using the `pktool` Command
Provide a checksum that ensures the integrity of a file	Verifies that the receiver's copy of a file is identical to the file that was sent.	How to Compute a Digest of a File
Protect a file with a message authentication code (MAC)	Verifies to the receiver of your message that you were the sender.	How to Compute a MAC of a File
Encrypt a file, and then decrypt the encrypted file	Protects the content of files by encrypting the file. Provides the encryption parameters to decrypt the file.	How to Encrypt and Decrypt a File
