QNX Software Development Platform
QNX SDP is a cross-compiling and debugging environment, including an IDE and command-line tools, for building binary images and programs for target boards running the QNX OS 8.0.
System Security Guide
The QNX System Security Guide is intended for both system integrators who are responsible for the security of a QNX OS system and developers who want to create a QNX OS resource manager free from vulnerabilities.
QNX Cryptography Library
The QNX cryptography library (qcrypto library) is a generic cryptographic shim layer that provides a consistent API to the various cryptographic primitives offered by third-party libraries.
Adding cryptographic primitives
The libqcrypto_pluginS.a plugin library and qcrypto/qcrypto_plugin.h header file allow you to create a custom plugin to use with the qcrypto library.
TomCrypt plugin
The qcrypto library TomCrypt plugin provides support for the LibTomCrypt cryptographic toolkit.

  - QNX Cryptography Library
    The QNX cryptography library (qcrypto library) is a generic cryptographic shim layer that provides a consistent API to the various cryptographic primitives offered by third-party libraries.
    - Configuration file
      The qcrypto library configuration file allows the system integrator to define which cryptography providers are supported and available to the system.
    - Adding cryptographic primitives
      The libqcrypto_pluginS.a plugin library and qcrypto/qcrypto_plugin.h header file allow you to create a custom plugin to use with the qcrypto library.
      - Certicom plugin
        The qcrypto library Certicom plugin provides support for the Certicom cryptography library.
      - TomCrypt plugin
        The qcrypto library TomCrypt plugin provides support for the LibTomCrypt cryptographic toolkit.
      - OpenSSL plugin
        The qcrypto library OpenSSL plugin provides support for the OpenSSL cryptography library.
    - Supported primitives
      The qcrypto library provides a consistent API to cryptographic primitives offered by third-party libraries.
    - QNX cryptography library reference
  - The devcrypto service
    The devcrypto service is a legacy system driver interface and is mainly provided for backwards compatibility.
  - Pathtrust
    The pathtrust feature prevents processes from executing untrusted code. If a process is compromised, pathtrust mitigates the threat of the system being further compromised by an attacker using chained-together exploits.
  - PAM
    Systems that need authentication can use pluggable authentication module (PAM), a configurable standard library.
