[En-Nut-Discussion] httserv - size

[amit khandelwal]

Hello,
    Thanks for that information Simon. I really appreciate it. I have
currently extracted the code from TinySec for the SkipJack and other
encryption algorithms and modified it to compile for the avr-gcc
compiler. Also, I am referring to the the book by "Bruce Schneier"
called Applied Cryptography to create a library of encryption
algorithms for the atmega128 platform. These alogirithm could be use
for encryption of data at the application layer as well as at any
layer in the tcp/ip stack. Currently I am exploring the following
options

1. Link level authentication for wsn (Wireless Sensor Network) based
the tcp/ip stack of nut/os)
2. Create an IPSec like protocol
3. Application level encryption
4. Some architecture for security in sensor network.

Any suggestion or pointers in this direction. 

Thanks for all the help.

Sincerely,
Amit Khandelwal
