Hello!
I am pleased to announce a new Beta version of Libgcrypt, GNU's
implementation of basic crypto functions.
Libgcrypt is a general purpose cryptographic library based on the code
from GnuPG. It provides functions for all cryptograhic building
blocks: symmetric ciphers (AES, DES, Blowfish, CAST5, Twofish,
Arcfour), hash algorithms (MD4, MD5, RIPE-MD160, SHA-1, TIGER-192),
MACs (HMAC for all hash algorithms), public key algorithms (RSA,
ElGamal, DSA), large integer functions, random numbers and a lot of
supporting functions. Libgcrypt is available under the GNU Lesser
General Public License (LGPL). See also
http://www.gnu.org/directory/security/libgcrypt.html
Libgcrypt can be downloaded from ftp.gnupg.org or one of the mirrors
as listed at http://www.gnupg.org/download/mirrors.html .
ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.1.12.tar.gz (724k)
ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.1.12.tar.gz.sig
or as a diff against version 1.1.11:
ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.1.11-1.1.12.diff.gz (83k)
Please check the signature, the key is available by finger:wk@g10code.com .
Aside of bug fixes here are some real news:
* gcry_pk_sign, gcry_pk_verify and gcry_pk_encrypt can now handle an
optional pkcs1 flags parameter in the S-expression. A similar flag
may be passed to gcry_pk_decrypt but it is only syntactically
implemented.
* New convenience macro gcry_md_get_asnoid.
* There is now some real stuff in the manual.
We are now heading for a stable (non-Beta) 1.2 release within the next
few months.
Salam-Shalom,
Werner
