Hello,
Sorry to bother you all but I have already done a lot of research online
and haven't come to a satisfactory answer.
**** All I want, is to be able to store a small piece of data in
"protected memory", and then retrieve it again later. ****
I am already doing some pretty tricked-out stuff to store this data in
my own RAM, but that's not good enough -- I'd prefer to use some sort of
"standard" protected memory, versus trying to do it myself.
On Windows there is a function called "VirtualProtect" which does this,
and I thought perhaps ssh-agent might be able to provide the same
functionality on UNIX.
Is this possible? If not, what is the best way to go about doing such a
thing?
--- Alternately, is it possible to use ssh-agent for encrypting/decrypting data using a key stored inside ssh-agent? Because this would also solve my problem. Does libssh2 allow me to encrypt/decrypt using the identities, similar to how it allows me to authenticate using the identities? --- I'm not trying to do anything on a remote machine, either. I just want to talk to the local ssh-agent running on the same machine (for the purpose described above.) Thoughts? --- Thanks in advance for your feedback / suggestions. -Fellow Traveler _______________________________________________ libssh2-devel http://cool.haxx.se/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/libssh2-develReceived on 2012-07-03
