HANDY CARTRIDGE ENCRYPTION SYSTEM This disk contains the current system for encrypting a boot block for a ROM file that will allow a cartridge to be made that will run on the Lynx. The program that actually performs the RSA part of the encryption, and the separate pieces of the RSA key number are not included on this disk. To use this disk, either copy its contents to a directory on a hard disk, or insert it into a floppy drive and CD to it. You will also need a floppy disk with the volume name RSA; if you don't have one, insert a blank disk into drive 0 of your computer and type: FORMAT drive df0: name RSA at the CLI prompt. To encrypt a ROM file, type: EXECUTE DOIT at the CLI prompt, where is name of the ROM file to encrypt, and size is one of 128, 256 or 512 specifying the size (in K) of the ROM file. Then just follow directions as they are given on the screen. The source to the separate pieces of the process are also included on this disk. The following files are made from the corresponding source files: BUILDCHK - buildchk.c PREMOD - premod.c POSTMOD - postmod.c BUILDROM - main.c, buildrom.c, global.c, rombin.h, eglobal.c BUILDCHK is a program that scans the image file, locates the directory entries for the first two files and writes the information to romdir.i , and simulates the hash code security process performed in the boot block to generate the check string and write it to checkstring.src . PREMOD takes a raw binary file, and prepares the data to be run through the RSA encryption program. POSTMOD takes the output of the RSA encryption program, and prepares it for inclusion in the boot block. BUILDROM takes the files boot.raw and boot2.raw (the results of the encryption process) and writes them over the beginning of the ROM file. MAKEFILE contains directions to build the above C programs, assuming an Aztec C environment. The C programs assume 32 bit integers. The file boot.src assembles to create the code to be encrypted in the boot blocks. It includes the system equates files harddefs.i and cartdefs.i , and the generated files romsize.i, romdir.i, and checkstring.src .
