Hi folks,

What are the available integrity algorithms available on the different platforms like Amiga, Commodore, etc?

I am thinking at implementing some kind of handshake validation and I woyuld like to know what is available.

Is CRC16 available for exemple? I guess SHA1 is probably to exclude but some older may work for what I'm looking to do.

Let me know.

Cheers!

It depends -- what are you trying to achieve exactly? Algorithms are "available" wherever you code them =p

You mention 'integrity', then a bit later 'handshake validation', so I'm not sure what you're after? Message Authentication (MAC)? Data checksums? Some sort
of encryption?

The issue on older platforms is going to be CPU power, and of course availability of libraries (assuming you don't want to write stuff yourself). Older systems are going to have a very hard time (CPU issue) computing secure hashes. Even a checksum of >= 16-bit can be a bit much for some systems especially if it needs to happen often & timely.
