Hi,

I'm interested in knowing security protocols in Common Lisp.

My goal is to implement SSL/TLS protocol. I already know Ironclad package.

My concern is an implementation of X.509 certificates in CL.

Thanks,
Anil Mamede

Did you know that there is already an SSL library?  It is at
http://common-lisp.net/project/cl-plus-ssl/

But isn't openssl libs necessary to CL+SSL?

Yes.  If that is a problem, then CL+SSL does not help you.

I do not know of any X.509 implementation in Lisp.

Good luck!

It doesn't matter if its back-end is written in C as long as it's a good
library IMHO. It's doing a pretty "static" job anyway?

SSL is available out of the box in Allegro CL, and I'm pretty sure this
is also true in the free version.  See

http://www.franz.com/support/documentation/8.0/doc/socket.htm#ssl-1

and

http://www.franz.com/downloads/

I don't know whether this will be particularly useful for you.

Anybody knows if it works with (or has been ported to) other
implementations ?

Our goal is to provide  SSL/TLS framework in CLOS. What i need is:

- ASN.1 library with at least BER/DER encoding - cl-snmp have some 
functions to read a subset of BER encoding;

We'll start with Anonymous Diffie Hellman (to not stall of what is 
required) to exchange the master key in handshake protocol. But in the 
future we must have:

- at least RSA and x.509v3 certificates will be needed;
- MD5 and SHA-1. Ironclad provide that;
- at least Triple DES EDE Chain Block Mode.


This framework aim to work on various CL implementations and not rely on 
  FFI's.
