WARNING: This library is EXPERIMENTAL. DO NOT use it on production. Do not use unless you know what you are doing. Also, this library alone DOES NOT provide security to ROS messages exchanges.
This is the official repository of rossec.
rossec is a library developed to provide cryptography on messages exchanges using ROS.
rossec encapsulates implementations of Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), a well-known and NIST approved block cipher specified in FIPS 197.
For confidentiality purposes, rossec provides the use of Chiper Block Chaining (CBC). For both confidentiality and authenticity, rossec operates the cipher in Galios Counter Mode (GCM).
