			==Symmetric Key Ciphers==
			There are two encryption functions in the BR language, [[ENCRYPT$]] and [[DECRYPT$]].

			ENCRYPT$(Data$ [,Key$ [,Encryption-type$ [,Initialization-vector$]]])
			DECRYPT$(Data$ [,Key$ [,Encryption-type$ [,Initialization-vector$]]])

			Data$ - The data to be encrypted

			Key$ - The secret key to be used for encryption. If not specified this value will come from an OPTION 66 statement.

			Encryption-type$ - The type of encryption to be done. If not specified, a common high strength encryption type will be employed. This is described in more detail below, but is generally only useful for interfacing with other typically non-BR programs.

			Initialization-vector$ - This is an arcane part of encryption standards. It exists to prevent attackers from being able to tell whether the unencrypted data has changed. This is described in more detail below, but is general only needed when interfacing with other non-BR programs.


	== Interfacing With Other Programs (encryption type and initialization vector)==		== Interfacing With Other Programs (encryption type and initialization vector)==
	There are a number of different types of encryption that BR supports through OpenSSL: AES, BLOWFISH, DES, triple DES, RC4 and RC2. Most symmetric key ciphers are block ciphers meaning that they encrypt one block at a time. This means if you have a bit message, it is broken up into multiple blocks and each block is encrypted. The block size can be set as (128, 192, 256) bits. Some encryption types don't support all of these values so STATUS ENCRYPTION should be checked to see what encryption types are available in BR. Besides block size, there are also various schemes for blocking data. One might expect that using 256 bit blocking would simply take every 32 bytes and call it a block. This is not done though because there is a possibility that this would cause patterns in the encrypted data. To prevent this, there are various schemes known as codebooks which change the way data is blocked. Wikipedia explains this in more detail. If the encryption type is not specified AES:256:CBC:128 will be used. To be compatible with other programs the entire encryption type must be specified (cipher: key length: codebook: ~~invitialization~~ vector length).

	Initialization-vector – this is used to cause the same data encrypted with the same key to have a different encrypted result. This is significant because otherwise an attacker looking at data seeing the same encrypted result twice would know that the key and the unencrypted data have not changed. Regardless of whether or not you are concerned about this potential security issue, the standard encryption methods require this value so interfacing with other programs may require you to use it. It is a common practice to use a random number for this value and store the value at the beginning of (ahead of) the encrypted result. This is what BR does if this parameter is omitted.

			==Signing and Certificate Processing Industry Standards==
			The purpose of certificates is to verify the authenticity of unencrypted data.

			Certain companies are authorized by the government to act as a Certificate Authority (CA). These companies (e.g. Verisign) issue electronic certificates which can be used to issue second level certificates. Certificates can have expiration dates and the line of authority extends from a CA to any number of levels (but a chain is only as strong as its weakest link). Certificates contain a list of signatures (described below) that trace back to a CA as follows:

			When a company needs to obtain a certificate from a CA, it prepares its own certificate and sends it to the CA for signature. Creating a certificate requires the pre-production of a private and public key pair. The certificate text properly identifies the signing authority, the owner of the certificate, and the owner’s public key. The signing authority externally verifies the identity of the owner before signing it. The CA provides the signature and the CA’s own public key for validating it.

			Browsers know the CA identities and their public keys. A browser can verify a CA signed cert by hashing it, decrypting the signature with the known public key and matching the decrypted signature against the hash total.

			Any company that is issued a (self-prepared authority signed) certificate by a CA can sign second level certificates issued to third parties. A second level cert contains the parent (CA issued) certificate, and includes the public keys of the issuer and the recipient. The signature is essentially the encrypted hash total of ‘itself plus all of its ancestors’. Additional levels each contain the chain of certificates leading from a CA issued cert to itself. By including public keys along with the identities of the owners, certificates become tools for validating the signatures of their owners. When signed data (with an encrypted hash total) is sent to clients the signatures insure that the data has not been altered along the way.

			Ostensibly, a certificate cannot be counterfeited because it requires the signature of its parent which can only be produced with its parent’s private key. By providing both public keys ( signer and recipient ) in all certs along with signatures, a non-forgeable or alterable chain is established.

			====Example:====
			CA public key – known to browser
			certificate 1 (signed by CA – contains owner’s public key)
			certificate 2 (signed by second level - includes certificate 1 - contains owner’s public key)
			final certificate (signed by third level - includes certificate 2 - contains owner’s public key)

			A browser would find the CA information in the certificate and check to see if it is in the browser’s internal list. If not, it fails. Then it verifies that certificate 1 (which ends up being part of the final certificate) has been signed by the CA. After that it checks certificate 2 and verifies that it has been signed by the owner of certificate 1. Finally it checks the final certificate and verifies that it has been signed by the owner of certificate 2.

			To assure the line authority of any certificate, the public keys are associated with signers, not with documents.
