+:d7da3b1e1540
+May 12th, 2004
+v0.95  -- Optimized AES and WHIRLPOOL for SMALL_CODE by taking advantage of the fact
+the transforms are circulant.  AES dropped 5KB and WHIRLPOOL dropped 13KB
+using the default build options on the x86.
+-- Updated eax so the eax_done() would clear the state [like hmac,pmac,ocb] when
+CLEAN_STACK has been defined.
+-- added LTC_TEST support to rmd160
+-- updates to mycrypt_pk.h
+-- updated rand_prime() to faciliate making RSA composites
+-- DSA/RSA now makes composites of the exact size desired.
+-- Refactored quite a bit of the code, fewer functions per C file
+-- cleaned up the makefiles to organize the objects logically
+-- added ICC makefile along with "profiled" targets for both GNU and ICC compilers
+-- Marked functions for removal before v1.00 see PLAN for more information
+-- GCC 3.4.0 tested and seems to work
+-- Added PKCS #5 support
+-- Fixed typo in comment header of .C files  ;-)
+-- Added PKCS #1 OAEP and PSS support.
+Feb 20th, 2004
+v0.94  -- removed unused variables from ocb.c and fixed it to match known test vectors.
+-- Added PMAC support, minor changes to OMAC/EAX code [I think....]
+-- Teamed up with Brian Gladman.  His code verifies against my vectors and my code
+verifies against his test vectors.  Hazaa for co-operation!
+-- Various small changes (added missing ARGCHKs and cleaned up indentation)
+-- Optimization to base64, removed unused variable "c"
+-- Added base64 gen to demos/tv_gen.c
+-- Fix to demos/x86_prof.c to correctly identify the i386 architecture... weird...
+-- Fixed up all of the PK code by adding missing error checking, removed "res" variables,
+shrunk some stack variables, removed non-required stack variables and added proper
+error conversion from MPI to LTC codes.  I also spotted a few "off by one" error
+checking which could have been used to force the code to read past the end of
+the buffer (in theory, haven't checked if it would work) by a few bytes.
+-- Added checks to OUTPUT_BIGNUM so the *_export() functions cannot overflow the output and I
+also modded it so it stores in the output provided to the function (that is not on
+the local stack) which saves memory and time.
+-- Made SAFER default to disabled for now (plans are to cleanhouse write an implementation later)
+-- Added the 512-bit one-way hash WHIRLPOOL which clocks in at 138 cycles per byte on my
+Athlon XP [for comparison, SHA-512 clocks in at 77 cycles per byte].  This code uses the
+teams new sbox design (not the original NESSIE one).
+Jan 25th, 2004
+v0.93  -- [note: deleted v0.93 changes by accident... recreating from memory...]
+-- Fix to RC2 to not deference pointer before ARGCHK
+-- Fix to NOEKEON to match published test vectors as well as cleaned up the code a bit
+-- Optimized Twofish [down to 28 cycles/byte on my box] and Blowfish
+-- Fix to OMAC to test cipher block size first [prevents wasting any time]
+-- Added more OMAC test vectors
+-- Added EAX Encrypt+Authenticate support
+-- Fix to DSA to check return of a few LTM functions I forgot [mp_to_unsigned_bin]
+-- Added common headers to all C files
+-- CTR mode supports big and little [default] endian counters now.
+-- fix to find_cipher_any() so that it can handle a fragmented cipher_descriptor table.
+-- added find_hash_any() akin to find_cipher_any().
+-- Added EAX code to demos/tv_gen.c  Hazaa!
+-- Removed SONY defines and files from codebase.
+-- Added OCB support [patents be damned] and to demos/tv_gen.c
+-- Merge all of the INPUT/OUTPUT BIGNUM macros (less toc) into mycrypt_pk.h
+-- Made appropriate changes to the debug string in crypt.c
+Dec 24th, 2003
+v0.92  -- Updated the config.pl script so the options have more details.
+-- Updated demos/tv_gen to include RIPEMD hashes
+-- Updated Twofish so when TWOFISH_ALL_TABLES is defined a pre-computed RS table
+is included [speedup: slight, about 4k cycles on my Athlon].
+-- Re-wrote the twofish large key generation [the four 8x32 key dependent tables].  Now about twice as fast.
+With both optimizations [e.g. TWOFISH_ALL_TABLES defined] a 128-bit Twofish key can now be scheduled
+in 26,000 cycles on my Athlon XP [as opposed to 49,000 before] when optimized for size.
+-- config.pl has been updated so rmd128.o and rmd160.o are objects included in the build [oops]
+-- Andrew Mann found a bug in rsa_exptmod() which wouldn't indicate if the wrong type of key was specified
+(e.g. not PK_PRIVATE or PK_PUBLIC)
+-- Fixed up demos/x86_prof so it sorts the output now :-)
+-- The project is now powered by radioactive rubber pants.
+-- Fixed dh_encrypt_key() so if you pass it a hash with a smaller output than the input key it
+will return CRYPT_INVALID_HASH [to match what ecc_encrypt_key() will do]
+-- Merge the store/encrypt key part of ecc_encrypt_key() as per dh_encrypt_key() [can you guess what I'm upto?]
+-- Massive updates to the prime generation code.  I use the LTM random prime functions [and provide a nice
+interface between the LTC PRNG's and the LTM generic prng prototype].  I also use a variable number of tests
+depending on the input size.  This nicely speeds up most prime generation/testing within the library.
+-- Added SHA-224 to the list of hashes.
+-- Made HMAC test vectors constant and static [takes ROM space instead of RAM]
+-- This release was brought to you by the letter P which stands for Patent Infringement.
+-- Added generic HASH_PROCESS macro to mycrypt_hash.h which simplifies the hash "process" functions
+I also optimized the compression functions of all but MD2 to not perform input copies when avoidable.
+-- Removed the division from the Blowfish setup function [dropped 3k cycles on my Athlon]
+-- Added stack cleaning to rijndael, cast5 so now all ciphers have CLEAN_STACK code.
+-- Added Skipjack to the list of ciphers [made appropriate changes to demos/test.c, demos/tv_gen.c and
+demos/x86_prof.c]
+-- Added mechanical testing to cipher test vector routines.  Now it encrypts 1000 times, then decrypts and
+compares.  Any fault (e.g. bug in code, compiler) in the routines is likely to show through.  Doesn't
+stress test the key gen though...
+-- Matt Johnson found a bug in the blowfish.c  apparently I was out of my mind and put twofish defines in there
+The code now builds with any config.  Thanks.
+-- Added OMAC1 Message Authentication Code support to the library.
+-- Re-prototyped the hash "process" and "done" to prevent buffer overflows [which don't seem easy to exploit].
+Updated HMAC code to use them too.  Hazaa!
+-- Fixed bug in ECC code which wouldn't do an _ARGCHK on stat in ecc_verify_hash().
+-- Fixed [temp fix] bug in all PK where the OUTPUT_BIGNUM macros would not trap errors on the to_unsigned_bin
+conversion [now returns CRYPT_MEM, will fix it up better later]
+-- Added DSA to the list of supported PK algorithms.
+-- Fixed up various ciphers to &255 the input key bytes where required [e.g. where used to index a table] to prevent
+problems on platforms where CHAR_BIT != 8
+-- Merged in LibTomMath v0.28
+-- Updated demos/x86_prof.c to use Yarrow during the key sched testing [was horribly slow on platforms with blockable
+/dev/random].
+-- Added OMAC/HMAC tests to demos/tv_gen and I now store the output of this in notes/
+-- Fixed a bug in config.pl that wouldn't have TWOFISH_TABLES defined by default (too many commas on the line)
+-- Fixed bug in hmac_done().  Apparently FIPS-198 [HMAC] specifies that the output can be truncated.  My code
+would not support that (does now just like the new OMAC code).
+-- Removed "hashsize" from hmac_state as it wasn't being used.
+-- Made demos/test.c stop if OMAC or HMAC tests fail (instead of just printing a failed message and keep going).
+-- Updated notes/tech0003.txt to take into account the existence of Skipjack [also I fixed a few typos].
+-- Slight changes to Noekeon, with SMALL_CODE undefined it uses a fully unrolled version.  Dropped +10 cycles/byte
+on my Athlon (35 cycles per byte or 410.4Mbit/sec at 1795Mhz)
+-- Added _ARGCHK() calls to is_prime() for the two input pointers.
+Sept 25th, 2003
+v0.91  -- HMAC fix of 0.90 was incorrect for keys larger than the block size of the hash.
+-- Added error CRYPT_FILE_NOTFOUND for the file [hmac/hash] routines.
+-- Added RIPEMD hashes to the hashsum demo.
+-- Added hashsum demo to MSVC makefile.
+-- Added RMD160 to the x86_prof demo [oops]
+-- Merged in LibTomMath-0.27 with a patch to mp_shrink() that will be in LibTomMath-0.28
+Fixes another potential memory leak.
+Sept 7th, 2003
+v0.90  -- new ROL/ROR for x86 GCC
+-- Jochen Katz submitted a patch to the makefile to prevent "make" from making the .a library
+when not required.
+== By default the KR code is not enabled [it's only a demo anyways!]
+-- changed the "buf" in ecc_make_key from 4KB to 128 bytes [since the largest key is 65 bytes]
+-- hmac_done() now requires you pass it the size of the destination buffer to prevent
+buffer overflows.  (API CHANGE)
+-- hmac/hash filebased routines now return CRYPT_NOP if NO_FILE is defined.
+-- I've removed the primes from dh.c and replaced them with DR safe primes suitable for the default
+configuration of LibTomMath.  Check out these comparisons on a 1.3Ghz Athlon XP, optimized for size,
+768-bit,     4 vs.  10
+1024-bit,    8 vs.  18
+1280-bit,   12 vs.  34
+1536-bit,   20 vs.  56
+1792-bit    28 vs.  88
+2048-bit,   40 vs. 124
+2560-bit,   71 vs. 234
+3072-bit,  113 vs. 386
+4096-bit,  283 vs. 916
+Times are all in milliseconds for key generation.  New primes times on the left.  This makes the code binary
+incompatible with previous releases.  However, this addition is long overdue as LibTomMath has supported DR
+reductions for quite some time.
+-- Added RIPE-MD 128 and 160 to the list of supported hashes [10 in total].
+-- The project has been released as public domain.  TDCAL no longer applies.
+July 15th, 2003
+v0.89  -- Fix a bug in bits.c which would prevent it from building with msvc
+-- Merged in LibTomMath v0.24 [and I used the alloc/free macros this time!]
+-- Removed the LTC version of next_prime() and replaced it with a call to the
+mp_prime_next_prime() from LibTomMath
+-- reverted bits.c to the 0.86 copy since the new one doesn't build in MSVC
+or cygwin.
+Jul 10th, 2003
+v0.88  -- Sped up CAST5 key schedule for MSVC
+-- added "ulong32" which allows people on 64-bit platforms to force the 32-bit tables in
+ciphers like blowfish and AES to be 32-bits.  E.g. when unsigned long is 64-bits.
+-- Optimized the SAFER-SK64, SAFER-SK128, SAFER+, RC5 and RC6 key schedule [big time!]
+-- Optimized SHA-1 and SHA-256 quite a bit too.
+-- Fixed up the makefile to use -fomit-frame-pointer more liberally
+-- Added tv_gen program which makes test vectors for ciphers/hashes
+-- Merged in LibTomMath v0.22
+Jun 19th, 2003
+v0.87  -- Many MSVC optimizations to the code base
+-- Improved the AES and Twofish key schedule [faster, more constant time]
+-- Tons of optimizations here and there.
+Jun 15th, 2003
+v0.86  -- Fixed up AES to workaround MSVC optimizer bug
+-- Merged in fresh LTM base [based on v0.20] so there are no warnings with MSVC
+-- Wrote x86_prof which will time the hashes and ciphers downto cycles per byte.
+-- Fixed up demos/encrypt to remove serpent_desc from the list
+-- Re-enabled MSVC optimizations w00t w00t
+-- Replaced "errno" with "err" in all functions that had it so it wouldn't clash
+with the global "errno"
+-- Removed a set of unused variables from certain functions
+-- Removed {#line 0 "..."} stuff from mpi.c to comply with ISO C  :-)
+Jun 11th, 2003
+v0.85  -- Swapped in a new AES routine
+-- Removed Serpent
+-- Added TDCAL policy document
+Jun 1st, 2003
+v0.84  -- Removed a 4KB buffer from rsa_decrypt_key that wasn't being used no more
+-- Fixed another potential buffer problem.  Not an overflow but could cause the
+PK import routines to read past the end of the buffer.
+-- Optimized the ECC mulmod more by removing a if condition that will always be false
+-- Optimized prime.c to not include a 2nd prime table, removed code from is_prime calls prime
+test from LibTomMath now
+-- Added LTC_TEST define which when defined will enable the test vector routines [see mycrypt_custom.h]
+-- Removed ampi.o from the depends cuz it ain't no not working in *nix with it [routines are in mpi.c now].
+Mar 29th, 2003
+v0.83  -- Optimized the ecc_mulmod, it's faster and takes less heap/stack space
+-- Fixed a free memory error in ecc_mulmod and del_point which would try to free NULL
+-- Fixed two serious bugs in rsa_decrypt_key and rsa_verify_hash that would allow a trivialy
+buffer overflow.
+-- Fixed a bug in the hmac testing code if you don't register all the hashes it won't return
+errors now.
+Mar 15th, 2003
+v0.82  -- Manual updated
+-- Added MSVC makefile [back, actually its written from scratch to work with NMAKE]
+-- Change to HMAC helper functions API to avoid buffer overflow [source changes]
+-- the rsa_encrypt_key was supposed to reject key sizes out of bounds ...
+same fix to the rsa_sign_hash
+-- Added code to ensure that that chaining mode code (cfb/ofb/ctr/cbc) have valid
+structures when being called.  E.g. the indexes to the pad/ivs are not out of bounds
+-- Cleaned up the DES code and simplified the core desfunc routine.
+-- Simplified one of the boolean functions in MD4
+Jan 16th, 2003
+v0.81  -- Merged in new makefile from Clay Culver and Mike Frysinger
+-- Sped up the ECC mulmod() routine by making the word size adapt to the input.  Saves a whopping 9 point
+operations on 521-bit keys now (translates to about 8ms on my Athlon XP).  I also now use barrett reduction
+as much as possible.  This sped the routine up quite a bit.
+-- Fixed a huge flaw in ecc_verify_hash() where it would return CRYPT_OK on error... Now fixed.
+-- Fixed up config.pl by fixing an invalid query and the file is saved in non-windows [e.g. not CR/LF] format
+(fix due to Mika Bostr�m)
+-- Merged in LibTomMath for kicks
+-- Changed the build process so that by default "mycrypt_custom.h" is included and provided
+The makefile doesn't include any build options anymore
+-- Removed the PS2 and VC makefiles.
+Dec 16th, 2002
+v0.80  -- Found a change I made to the MPI that is questionable.  Not quite a bug but definately not desired.  Had todo
+with the digit shifting.  In v0.79 I simply truncated without zeroing.  It didn't cause problems during my
+testing but I fixed it up none the less.
+-- Optimized s_mp_mul_dig() from MPI to do a minimal number of passes.
+-- Fixed in rsa_exptmod() where I was getting the size of the result.  Basically it accomplishes the same thing
+but the fixed code is more readable.
+-- Fixed slight bug in dh_sign_hash() where the random "k" value was 1 byte shorter than it should have been.  I've
+also made the #define FAST_PK speed up signatures as well.  Essentially FAST_PK tells the DH sub-system to
+limit any private exponent to 256-bits.   Note that when FAST_PK is defined does not make the library
+binary or source incompatible with a copy of the library with it undefined.
+-- Removed the DSA code.  If you want fast diffie-hellman just define FAST_PK :-)
+-- Updated dh_sign_hash()/dh_verify_hash() to export "unsigned" bignums.  Saves two bytes but is not binary
+compatible with the previous release... sorry!  I've performed the same fix to the ecc code as well.
+-- Fixed up the PK code to remove all use of mp_toraw() and mp_read_raw() [get all the changes out of the way now]
+-- Fixed a bug in the DH code where it missed trapping a few errors if they occurred.
+-- Fixed a slight "its-not-a-bug-but-could-be-done-better" bug in the next_prime() function.  Essentially it was
+testing to ensure that in the loop that searches for the next candidate that the step never grows beyond
+65000.  Should have been testing for MP_DIGIT_MAX
+-- Spruced up the config.pl script.  It now makes a header file "mycrypt_custom.h" which can be included *before*
+you include mycrypt.h.  This allows you to add libtomcrypt to a project without completely changing your make
+system around.  Note that you should use the makefile it writes to at least build the library initially.
+-- Used splint to check alot of the code out.  Tons of minor fixes and explicit casts added.
+-- Also made all the internal functions of MPI are now static to avoid poluting the namespace
+-- **Notice**:  There are no planned future releases for at least a month from the this release date.
+Dec 14th, 2002
+v0.79  -- Change to PK code [binary and source].  I made it so you have to pass the buffer size to the *_decrypt_key and
+*_verify_hash functions.  This prevents malformed packets from performing buffer overflows.  I've also trimmed
+the packet header size [by 4 bytes].
+-- Made the test program halt on the first error it occurs.  Also made it trap more errors than before.
+-- Wrote the first chapter of my new book [DRAFT!], not in this package but check my website!
+-- Included a perl script "config.pl" that will make "makefile.out" according to the users needs.
+-- Added shell script to look for latest release
+-- Merge DH and ECC key defines from mycrypt_cfg.h into the makefiles
+-- updated the makefile to use BSD friendly archiving invokations
+-- Changed the DH and ECC code to use base64 static key settings [e.g. the primes].  Dropped the code size by 3KB
+and is ever-so-slightly faster than before.
+-- added "mp_shrink" function to shrink the size of bignums.  Specially useful for PK code :-)
+-- Added new exptmod function that calculates a^b mod c with fewer multiplies then before [~20% for crypto
+sized numbers].  Also added a "low mem" variant that doesn't use more than 20KB [upto 4096 bit nums] of
+heap todo the calculation.  Both are #define'able controlled
+-- Added XREALLOC macro to provide realloc() functionality.
+-- Added fix where in rsa_import() if you imported a public key or a non-optimized key it would free the mp_int's
+not being used.
+-- Fixed potential bug in the ECC code.  Only would occur on platforms where char is not eight bits [which isn't
+often!]
+-- Fixed up the ECC point multiplication, its about 15% faster now
+-- While I was at it [since the lib isn't binary backwards compatible anyways] I've fixed the PK export routines
+so they export as "unsigned" types saving 1 byte per bignum outputted.  Not a lot but heck why not.
+Nov 28th, 2002
+v0.78  -- Made the default ARGCHK macro a function call instead which reduced the code size from 264KB to 239KB.
+-- Fixed a bug in the XTEA keysize function which called ARGCHK incorrectly.
+-- Added Noekeon block cipher at 2,800 bytes of object code and 345Mbit/sec it is a welcome addition.
+-- Made the KR code check if the other PK systems are included [provides error when building otherwise].
+-- Made "aes" an alias for Rijndael via a pre-processor macro.  Now you can use "aes_ecb_encrypt", etc... :-)
+Thanks to Jean-Luc Cooke for the "buzzword conformance" suggestion.
+-- Removed the old PK code entirely (e.g. rsa_sign, dh_encrypt).  The *_sign_hash and *_encrypt_key functions
+are all that is to remain.
+-- **NOTE** Changed the PK *_import (including the keyring) routine to accept a "inlen" parameter.  This fixes a
+bug where improperly made key packets could result in reading passed the end of the buffer.  This means
+the code is no longer source compatible but still binary compatible.
+-- Fixed a few other minor bugs in the PK import code while I was at it.
+Nov 26th, 2002
+v0.77  -- Updated the XTEA code to use pre-computed keys.  With optimizations for speed it achieves 222Mbit/sec
+compared to the 121Mbit/sec before.  It is 288 bytes bigger than before.
+-- Cleaned up some of the ciphers and hashes (coding style, cosmetic changes)
+-- Optimized AES slightly for 256-bit keys [only one if statement now, still two for 192-bit keys]
+-- Removed most test cases from Blowfish, left three of them there.  Makes it smaller and faster to test.
+-- Changed the primality routines around.  I now use 8 rounds of Rabin-Miller, I use 256 primes in the sieve
+step and the "rand_prime" function uses a modified sieve that avoids alot of un-needed bignum work.
+-- Fixed a bug in the ECC/DH signatures where the keys "setting" value was not checked for validity.  This means
+that a invalid value could have caused segfaults, etc...
+-- **NOTE** Changed the way the ECC/DH export/import functions work.  They are source but not binary compatible
+with v0.76.  Essentially insteading of exporting the setting index like before I export the key size.  Now
+if you ever re-configure which key settings are supported the lib will still be able to make use of your
+keys.
+-- Optimized Blowfish by inlining the round function, unrolling it for four rounds then using a for loop for the
+rest.  It achieves a rate of 425Mbit/sec with the new code compared to 314Mbit/sec before.  The new blowfish
+object file is 7,813 bytes compared to 8,663 before and is 850 bytes smaller.  So the code is both smaller and
+faster!
+-- Optimized Twofish as well by inlining the round function.  Gets ~400Mbit/sec compared to 280Mbit/sec before
+and the code is only 78 bytes larger than the previous copy.
+-- Removed SMALL_PRIME_TAB build option.  I use the smaller table always.
+-- Fixed some mistakes concerning prime generation in the manual.
+-- [Note: sizes/speeds are for GCC 3.2 on an x86 Athlon XP @ 1.53Ghz]
+Nov 25th, 2002
+v0.76  -- Updated makefiles a bit more, use "-Os" instead of "-O2" to optimize for size.  Got the lib
+downto 265KB using GCC 3.2 on my x86 box.
+-- Updated the SAFER+, Twofish and Rijndael test vector routine to use the table driven design.
+-- Updated all other test vector routines to return as soon as an error is found
+-- fixed a bug in the test program where errors in the hash test routines would not be reported
+correctly.  I found this by temporarily changing one of the bytes of the test vectors.  All the
+hashes check out [the demos/test.c would still have reported an error, just the wrong one].
+Nov 24th, 2002
+v0.75  -- Fixed a flaw in hash_filehandle, it should ARGCHK that the filehandle is not NULL
+-- Fixed a bug where in hash_file if the call to hash_filehandle failed the open file would
+not be closed.
+-- Added more strict rules to build process, starting to weed out "oh this works in GCC" style code
+In the next release "-Wconversion" will be enabled which will deal with all implicit casts.
+Nov 22nd, 2002 [later in the day]
+v0.74  -- Wrote a small variant of SAFER+ which shaved 50KB off the size of the library on x86 platforms
+-- Wrote a build option to remove the PK packet functions [keeps the encrypt_key/sign_hash functions]
+-- Wrote a small variant of Rijndael (trimmed 13KB)
+-- Trimmed the TIGER/192 hash function a bit
+-- Overall the entire lib compiled is 295KB [down from 400KB before]
+-- Fixed a few minor oversights in the MSVC makefile
+Nov 22nd, 2002
+v0.73  -- Fixed bug in RC4 code where it could only use 255 byte keys.
+-- Fixed bug in yarrow code where it would allow cast5 or md2 to be used with it...
+-- Removed the ecc compress/expand points from the global scope.  Reduces namespace polution
+-- Fixed bug where if you used the SPRNG you couldn't pass NULL as your prng_state which you should be
+able todo since the SPRNG has no state...
+-- Corrected some oversights in the manual and the examples...
+-- By default the GF(2^W) math library is excluded from the build.  The source is maintained because I wrote it
+and like it :-).  This way the built library is a tad smaller
+-- the MSVC makefile will now build for a SPACE optimized library rather than TIME optimized.
+Nov 21th, 2002
+v0.72  -- Fixed bug in the prime testing.  In the Miller-Rabin test I was raising the base to "N-1" not "r".
+The math still worked out fine because in effect it was performing a Fermat test.  Tested the new code and it
+works properly
+-- Fixed some of the code where it was still using the old error syntax
+-- Sped up the RSA decrypt/sign routines
+-- Optimized the ecc_shared_secret routine to not use so much stack
+-- Fixed up the makefile to make releases where the version # is in the file name and directory it will unzip
+to
+Nov 19th, 2002
+v0.71  -- HELP TOM.  I need tuition for the January semester.  Now I don't want to force donations [nor will I ever]
+but I really need the help!  See my website http://tom.iahu.ca/help_tom.html for more details.  Please help
+if you can!
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+-- Officially the library is no longer supported in GCC 3.2 in windows [cygwin].
+In windows you can either use GCC 2.95.3 or try your luck with 3.2  It seems that
+"-fomit-frame-pointer" is broken in the windows build [but not the linux x86 build???]
+If you simply must use 3.2 then I suggest you limit the optimizations to simply "-O2"
+-- Started new error handling API.  Similar to the previous except there are more error codes than just
+CRYPT_ERROR
+-- Added my implementation of the MD2 hash function [despite the errors in the RFC I managed to get it right!]
+-- Merged in more changes from Sky Schulz.  I have to make mention here that he has been a tremendous help in
+getting me motivated to make some much needed updates to the library!
+-- Fixed one of the many mistakes in the manual as pointed out by Daniel Richards
+-- Fixed a bug in the RC4 code [wasn't setting up the key correctly]
+-- Added my implementation of the CAST5 [aka CAST-128] block cipher (conforms...)
+-- Fixed numerous bugs in the PK code.  Essentially I was "freeing" keys when the import failed.  This is neither
+required nor a good a idea [double free].
+-- Tom needs a job.
+-- Fixed up the test harness as requested by Sky Schulz.  Also modifed the timing routines to run for X seconds
+and count # of ops performed.  This is more suitable than say encrypting 10 million blocks on a slow processor
+where it could take minutes!
+-- Modified test programs hashsum/encrypt to use the new algorithms and error handling syntax
+-- Removed the PKCS code since it was incomplete.  In the future I plan on writing a "add-on" library that
+provides PKCS support...
+-- updated the config system so the #defines are in the makefiles instead of mycrypt_cfg.h
+-- Willing to work on an hourly basis for 15$ CDN per hour.
+-- updated the test program to not test ciphers not included
+-- updated the makefile to make "rsa_sys.c" a dependency of rsa.o [helps develop the code...]
+-- fixed numerous failures to detect buffer overflows [minor] in the PK code.
+-- fixed the safer [64-bit block version] test routines which didn't check the returns of the setup
+function
+-- check out my CV at http://tom.iahu.ca/cv.html
+-- removed the GBA makefile and code from demos/test.c [not a particularly useful demo...]
+-- merged in rudimentary [for testing] PS2 RNG from Sky Schulz
+-- merged in PS2 timer code [only shell included due to NDA reasons...]
+-- updated HMAC code to return errors where possible
+-- Thanks go to Sky Schulz who bought me a RegCode for TextPad [the official editor of libtomcrypt]
+Nov 12th, 2002
+v0.70  -- Updated so you can swap out the default malloc/calloc/free routines at build time with others. (Sky Schulz)
+-- Sky Schulz contributed some code towards autodetecting the PS2 in mycrypt_cfg.h
+-- Added PS2 makefile contributed by Sky Schulz [see a pattern forming?]
+-- Added ability to have no FILE I/O functions at all (see makefile), Sky Schulz....
+-- Added support for substituting out the clock() function (Sky Schulz)
+-- Fixed up makefile to include new headers in the HEADERS variable
+-- Removed "coin.c" as its not really useful anyways
+-- Removed many "debug" printfs that would show up on failures.  Basically I wanted to ensure the only output
+would be from the developer themselves.
+-- Added "rc4.c" a RC4 implementation with a PRNG interface.  Since RC4 isn't a block cipher it wouldn't work
+too well as a block cipher.
+-- Fixed ARGCHK macro usage when ARGTYPE=1 throughout the code
+-- updated makefile to make subdirectory properly (Sku Schulz)
+-- Started towards new API setup.  Instead of checking for "== CRYPT_ERROR" you should check "!= CRYPT_OK"
+In future releases functions will return things other than CRYPT_ERROR on error to give more useful
+thread safe error reporting.  The manual will be updated to reflect this.  For this release all
+errors are returned as CRYPT_ERROR (except as noted) but in future releases this will change.
+-- Removed the zlib branch since its not really required anyways.  Makes the package smaller
+Nov 11th, 2002
+v0.69  -- Added ARGCHK (see mycrypt_argchk.h) "arguement checking" to all functions that accept pointers
+-- Note I forgot to change the CRYPT version tag in v0.68... fixed now.
+Nov 8th, 2002
+v0.68  -- Fixed flaw in kr_import/kr_export that wasted 4 bytes.  Source but not binary compatible with v0.67
+-- Fixed bug in kr_find_name that used memcmp to match strings.  Uses strncmp now.
+-- kr_clear now sets the pointer to NULL to facilate debugging [e.g. using the keyring after clearing]
+-- static functions in _write/_read in keyring.c now check the return of ctr_encrypt/ctr_decrypt.
+-- Updated blowfish/rc2/rc5/rc6 keysize() function to not reject keys larger than the biggest key the
+respective ciphers can use.
+-- Fixed a bug in hashsum demo that would report the hash for files that don't exist!
+Oct 16th, 2002
+v0.67  -- Moved the function prototypes into files mycrypt_*.h.  To "install" the lib just copy all the
+header files "*.h" from the base of this project into your global include path.
+-- Made the OFB/CFB/CTR functions use "unsigned long" for the length instead of "int"
+-- Added keyring support for the PK functions
+-- ***API CHANGE*** changed the ecc_make_key and dh_make_key to act more like rsa_make_key.  Basically
+move the first argument to the next to last.
+-- Fixed bug in dh_test() that wouldn't test the primality of the order of the sub-group
+-- replaced the primes in the DH code with new ones that are larger than the size they are
+associated with.  That is a 1024-bit DH key will have a 1025-bit prime as the modulus
+-- cleaned up all the PK code, changed a bit of the API around [not source compatible with v0.66]
+-- major editing of the manual, started Docer program
+-- added 160 and 224 bit key settings for ECC.  This makes the DH and ECC binary wise incompatible with v0.66
+-- Added an additional check for memory errors in is_prime() and cleaned up prime.c a bit
+-- Removed ID_TAG from all files [meh, not a big fan...]
+-- Removed unused variable from yarrow state and made AES/SHA256 the default cipher/hash combo
+-- Fixed a bug in the Yarrow code that called prng_is_valid instead of cipher_is_valid from yarrow_start()
+-- The ECB/CBC/OFB/CFB/CTR wrappers now check that the cipher is valid in the encrypt/decrypt calls
+Returns int now instead of void.
+Sept 24th, 2002
+v0.66  -- Updated the /demos/test.c program to time the hashes correctly.  Also it uses the yarrow PRNG for all of the
+tests meaning its possible to run on RNG less platforms
+-- Updated the /demos/hashsum.c program to hash from the standard input
+-- Updated the RSA code to make keys a bit quicker [update by Wayne Scott] by not making both primes at the same
+time.
+-- Dan Kaminsky suggested some cleanups for the code and the MPI config
+Code ships in unix LF format by default now too... will still build in MSVC and all... but if you want
+to read the stuff you'll have to convert it
+-- Changes to the manual to reflect new API [e.g. hash_memory/file have v0.65 prototypes]and some typos fixed
+Sept 20th, 2002
+v0.65  -- Wayne Scott ([email protected]) made a few of suggestions to improve the library.  Most
+importantly he pointed out the math lib is not really required.  He's also tested the lib on 18
+different platforms.  According to him with only a few troubles [lack of /dev/random, etc] the
+library worked as it was supposed to.  You can find the list at
+http://www.bitkeeper.com/Products.BitKeeper.Platforms.html
+-- Updated the hash_file and hash_memory functions to keep track of the size of the output
+-- Wayne Scott updated the demos/test.c file to use the SPRNG less and Yarrow more
+-- Modified the mycrypt_cfg.h to autodetect x86-32 machines
+Sept 19th, 2002
+v0.64  -- wrote makefile for the GBA device [and hacked the demos/test.c file to support it conditionally]
+-- Fixed error in PK (e.g. ECC, RSA, DH) import functions where I was clobbering the packet error messages
+-- fixed more typos in the manual
+-- removed all unused variables from the core library (ignore the ID_TAG stuff)
+-- added "const char *crypt_build_settings" string which is a build time constant that gives a listing
+of all the build time options.  Useful for debugging since you can send that to me and I will know what
+exactly you had set for the mycrypt_cfg.h file.
+-- Added control over endianess.  Out of the box it defaults to endianess neutral but you can trivially
+configure the library for your platform.  Using this I boosted RC5 from 660Mbit/sec to 785Mbit/sec on my
+Athlon box.  See "mycrypt_cfg.h" for more information.
+Sept 11th, 2002
+v0.63  -- Made hashsum demo output like the original md5sum program
+-- Made additions to the examples in the manual (fixed them up a bunch)
+-- Merged in the base64 code from Wayne Scott ([email protected])
+Aug 29th, 2002
+v0.62  -- Added the CLEAN_STACK functionality to several of the hashes I forgot to update.
+Aug 9th, 2002
+v0.61  -- Fixed a bug in the DES code [oops I read something wrong].
+Aug 8th, 2002
+v0.60  -- Merged in DES code [and wrote 3DES-EDE code based on it] from Dobes V.
+Aug 7th, 2002
+v0.59  -- Fixed a "unsigned long long" bug that caused v0.58 not to build in MSVC.
+-- Cleaned up a little in the makefile
+-- added code that times the hash functions too in the test program
+Aug 3rd, 2002
+v0.58  -- Added more stack cleaning conditionals throughout the code.
+-- corrected some CLEAR_STACK conditionals... should have been CLEAN_STACK
+-- Simplified the RSA, DH and ECC encrypt() routines where they use CTR to encode the message
+now they only make one call to ctr_encrypt()/ctr_decrypt().
+Aug 2nd, 2002
+v0.57  -- Fixed a few errors messages in the SAFER code to actually report the correct cipher name.
+-- rsa_encrypt() uses the "keysize()" method of the cipher being used to more accurately pick a
+key size.  By default rsa_encrypt() will choose to use a 256-bit key but the cipher can turn that
+down if required.
+-- The rsa_exptmod() function will now more reliably detect invalid inputs (e.g. greater than the modulus).
+-- The padding method for RSA is more clearly documented.  Namely if you want to encrypt/sign something of length
+N then your modulus must be of length 1+3N.  So to sign a message with say SHA-384 [48 bytes] you need a
+145 byte (1160 bits) modulus.  This is all in the manual now.
+-- Added build option CLEAN_STACK which will allow you to choose whether you want to clean the stack or not after every
+cipher/hash call
+-- Sped up the hash "process()" functions by not copying one byte at a time.
+++ (added just after I uploaded...)
+MD4 process() now handles input buffers > 64 bytes
+Aug 1st, 2002
+v0.56  -- Cleaned up the comments in the Blowfish code.
+-- Oh yeah, in v0.55 I made all of the descriptor elements constant.  I just forgot to mention it.
+-- fixed a couple of places where descriptor indexes were tested wrong.  Not a huge bug but now its harder
+to mess up.
+-- Added the SAFER [64-bit block] ciphers K64, SK64, K128 and SK128 to the library.
+-- Added the RC2 block cipher to the library.
+-- Changed the SAFER define for the SAFER+ cipher to SAFERP so that the new SAFER [64-bit] ciphers
+can use them with less confusion.
+July 29th, 2002
+v0.55  -- My god stupid Blowfish has yet again been fixed.  I swear I hate that cipher.  Next bug in it and boom its out of the
+library.  Use AES or something else cuz I really hate Blowfish at this stage....
+-- Partial PKCS support [hint DONT USE IT YET CUZ ITS UNTESTED!]
+July 19th, 2002
+v0.54  -- Blowfish now conforms to known test vectors.  Silly bad coding tom!
+-- RC5/RC6/Serpent all have more test vectors now [and they seemed to have been working before]
+July 18th, 2002
+v0.53  -- Added more test vectors to the blowfish code just for kicks [and they are const now too :-)]
+-- added prng/hash/cipher is_valid functions and used them in all of the PK code so you can't enter the code
+with an invalid index ever now.
+-- Simplified the Yarrow code once again :-)
+July 12th, 2002
+v0.52  -- Fixed a bug in MD4 where the hash descriptor ID was the same as SHA-512.  Now MD4 will work with
+all the routines...
+-- Fixed the comments in SHA-512 to be a bit more meaningful
+-- In md4 I made the PADDING array const [again to store it in ROM]
+-- in hash_file I switched the constant "512" to "sizeof(buf)" to be a bit safer
+-- in SHA-1's test routine I fixed the string literal to say SHA-1 not sha1
+-- Fixed a logical error in the CTR code which would make it skip the first IV value.  This means
+the CTR code from v0.52 will be incompatible [binary wise] with previous releases but it makes more
+sense this way.
+-- Added {} braces for as many if/for/blocks of code I could find.  My rule is that every for/if/while/do block
+must have {} braces around it.
+-- made the rounds table in saferp_setup const [again for the ROM think about the ROM!]
+-- fixed RC5 since it no longer requires rc5 to be registered in the lib.  It used to since the descriptors used to
+be part of the table...
+-- the packet.c code now makes crypt_error literal string errors when an error occurs
+-- cleaned up the SAFER+ key schedule to be a bit easier to read.
+-- fixed a huge bug in Twofish with the TWOFISH_SMALL define.  Because I clean the stack now I had
+changed the "g_func()" to be called indirectly.  I forgot to actually return the return of the Twofish
+g_func() function which caused it not to work... [does now :-)]
+July 11th, 2002
+v0.51  -- Fixed a bug in SHA512/384 code for multi-block messages.
+-- Added more test vectors to the SHA384/512 and TIGER hash functions
+-- cleaned up the hash done routines to make more sense
+July 10th, 2002
+v0.50  -- Fixed yarrow.c so that the cipher/hash used would be registered.  Also fixed
+a bug where the SAFER+ name was "safer" but should have been "safer+".
+-- Added an element to the hash descriptors that gives the size of a block [sent into the compressor]
+-- Cleaned up the support for HMAC's
+-- Cleaned up the test vector routines to make the test vector data const.  This means on some platforms it will be
+placed in ROM not RAM now.
+-- Added MD4 code submited by Dobes Vandermeer ([email protected])
+-- Added "burn_stack" function [idea taken from another source of crypto code].  The idea is if a function has
+alot of variables it will clean up better.  Functions like the ecb serpent and twofish code will now have their
+stacks cleaned and the rest of the code is getting much more straightforward.
+-- Added a hashing demo by Daniel Richards ([email protected])
+-- I (Tom) modified some of the test vector routines to use more vectors ala Dobes style.
+For example, the MD5/SHA1 code now uses all of the test vectors from the RFC/FIPS spec.
+-- Fixed the register/unregister functions to properly report errors in crypt_error
+-- Correctly updated yarrow code to remove a few unused variables.
+-- Updated manual to fix a few erroneous examples.
+-- Added section on Hash based Message Authentication Codes (HMAC) to the manual
+June 19th, 2002
+v0.46  -- Added in HMAC code from Dobes Vandermeer ([email protected])
+June 8th, 2002
+v0.45  -- Fixed bug in rc5.c where if you called rc5_setup() before registering RC5 it would cause
+undefined behaviour.
+-- Fixed mycrypt_cfg.h to eliminate the 224 bit ECC key.
+-- made the "default" makefile target have depends on mycrypt.h and mycrypt_cfg.h
+Apr 4th, 2002
+v0.44  -- Fixed bug in ecc.c::new_point() where if the initial malloc fails it would not catch it.
+Mar 22nd, 2002
+v0.43  -- Changed the ZLIB code over to the 1.1.4 code base to avoid the "double free" bug.
+-- Updated the GCC makefile not to use -O3 or -funroll-loops
+-- Version tag in mycrypt.h has been updated :-)
+Mar 10th, 2002
+v0.42  -- The RNG code can now use /dev/urandom before trying /dev/random (J. Klapste)
+Mar 3rd, 2002
+v0.41  -- Added support to link and use ciphers at compile time.  This can greatly reduce the code size!
+-- Added a demo to show off how small an application can get... 46kb!
+-- Disastry pointed out that Blowfish is supposed to be high endian.
+-- Made registry code for the PRNGs as well [now the smallest useable link is 43kb]
+Feb 11th, 2002
+v0.40  -- RSA signatures use [and check for] fixed padding scheme.
+-- I'm developing in Linux now :-)
+-- No more warnings from GCC 2.96
+Feb 5th, 2002
+v0.39  -- Updated the XTEA code to work in accordance with the XTEA design
+January 24th, 2002
+v0.38  -- CFB and OFB modes can now handle blocks of variable size like the CTR code
+-- Wrote a wrapper around the memory compress functions in Zlib that act like the functions
+in the rest of my crypto lib
+January 23rd, 2002
+v0.37  -- Added support code so that if a hash size and key size for a cipher don't match up they will
+use the next lower key supported.  (mainly for the PK code).  So you can now use SHA-1 with
+Twofish, etc...
+-- Added more options for Twofish.  You can now tell it to use precomputed sboxes and MDS multiplications
+This will speed up the TWOFISH_SMALL implementation by increasing the code size by 1024 bytes.
+-- Fixed a bug in prime.c that would not use the correct table if you undefined SMALL_PRIME_TAB
+-- Fixed all of the PK packet code to use the same header format [see packet.c].  This makes the PK code
+binary wise incompatible with previous releases while the API has not changed at all.
+January 22nd, 2002
+v0.36  -- Corrections to the manual
+-- Made a modification to Twofish which lets you build a "small ram" variant.  It requires
+about 190 bytes of ram for the key storage compared to the 4,200 bytes the normal
+variant requires.
+-- Reduced the stack space used in all of the PK routines.
+January 19th, 2002
+v0.35  -- If you removed the first hash or cipher from the library it wouldn't return an error if
+you used an ID=0 [i.e blowfish or sha256] in any routine.  Now it checks for that and will
+return an error like it should
+-- Merged in new routines from Clay Culver.  These routines are for the PK code so you can easily
+encode a symmetric key for multiple recipients.
+-- Made the ecc and DH make_key() routines make secret keys of the same size as the keysize listed.
+Originally I wanted to ensure that the keys were smaller than the order of the field used
+However, the bias is so insignifcant using full sizes.  For example, with a ECC-192 key the order
+is about 2^191.99, so instead I rounded down and used a 184-bit secret key.  Now I simply use a full 192-bit
+key the code will work just the same except that some 192-bit keys will be duplicates which is not a big
+deal since 1/2^192 is a very small bias!
+-- Made the configuration a bit simpler and more exacting.  You can for example now select which DH or ECC
+key settings you wish to support without including the data for all other key settings.  I put the #defines
+in a new file called "mycrypt_cfg.h"
+-- Configured "mpi-config.h" so its a bit more conservative with the memory required and code space used
+-- Jason Klapste submitted bug fixes to the yarrow, hash and various other issues.  The yarrow code will now
+use what ever remaining hash/cipher combo is left [after you #undef them] at build time.   He also suggested
+a fix to remove unused structures from the symmetric_key and hash_state unions.
+-- Made the CTR code handle variable length blocks better. It will buffer the encryption pad so you can
+encrypt messages any size block at a time.
+-- Simplified the yarrow code to take advantage of the new CTR code.
+-- Added a 4096-bit DH key setting.  That took me about 36 hours to find!
+-- Changed the base64 routines to use a real base64 encoding scheme.
+-- Added in DH and ECC "encrypt_key()" functions.  They are still rather "beta"ish.
+-- Added **Twofish** to the list of ciphers!
+January 18th, 2002
+v0.34  -- Added "sha512" to the list of hashes.  Produces a 512-bit message digest.  Note that with the current
+padding with the rsa_sign() function you cannot use sha512 with a key less than 1536 bits for signatures.
+-- Cleaned up the other hash functions to use the LOAD and STORE macros...
+January 17th, 2002
+v0.33  -- Made the lower limit on keysizes for RSA 1024 bits again because I realized that 768 bit keys wouldn't
+work with the padding scheme and large symmetric keys.
+-- Added information concerning the Zlib license to the manual
+-- Added a 3072-bit key setting for the DH code.
+-- Made the "find_xyz()" routines take "const char *" as per Clay Culver's suggestion.
+-- Fixed an embarassing typo in the manual concerning the hashes.  Thank's Clay for finding it!
+-- Fixed rand_prime() so that it makes primes bigger than the setting you give.  For example,
+if you want a 1024-bit prime it would make a 1023-bit one.  Now it ensures that the prime
+it makes is always greater than 2^(8n) (n == bytes in prime).  This doesn't have a huge
+impact on security but I corrected it just the same.
+-- Fixed the CTR routine to work on platforms where char != 8-bits
+-- Fixed sha1/sha256/md5/blowfish to not assume "unsigned long == 32-bits", Basically any operation with carries
+I "AND" with 0xFFFFFFFF.  That forces only the lower 32-bits to have information in it.  On x86 platforms
+most compilers optimize out the AND operation since its a nop.
+January 16th, 2002
+v0.32  -- Made Rijndael's setup function fully static so it is thread safe
+-- Svante Seleborg suggested a cosmetic style fixup for aes.c,
+basically to remove some of the #defines to clean it up
+-- Made the PK routines not export the ASCII version of the names of ciphers/hashes which makes
+the PK message formats *incompatible* with previous releases.
+-- Merge in Zlib :-)
+January 15th, 2002
+v0.31  -- The RSA routines can now use CRT to speed up decryption/signatures.  The routines are backwards
+compatible with previous releases.
+-- Fixed another bug that Svante Seleborg found.  Basically you could buffer-overrun the
+rsa_exptmod() function itself if you're not careful.  That's fixed now.  Fixed another bug in
+rsa_exptmod() where if it knows the buffer you passed is too small it wouldn't free all used
+memory.
+-- improved the readability of the PK import/export functions
+-- Added a fix to RSA.C by Clay Culver
+-- Changed the CONST64 macro for MSVC to use the "unsigned __int64" type, e.g. "ui64" instead of "i64".
+January 14th, 2002
+v0.30  -- Major change to the Yarrow PRNG code, fixed a bug that Eugene Starokoltsev found.
+Basically if you added entropy to the pool in small increments it could in fact
+cancel out.  Now I hash the pool with the new data which is way smarter.
+January 12th, 2002
+v0.29  -- Added MPI code written by Svante Seleborg to the library.  This will make the PK code much
+easier to follow and debug.  Actually I've already fixed a memory leak in dh_shared_secret().
+-- Memory leaks found and correct in all three PK routines.  The leaks would occur when a bignum
+operation fails so it wouldn't normally turn up in the course of a program
+-- Fixed bugs in dh_key_size and ecc_key_size which would return garbage for invalid key idx'es
+January 11th, 2002
+v0.28  -- Cleaned up some code so that it doesn't assume "char == 8bits".  Mainly SAFER+ has been
+changed.
+-- ***HUGE*** changes in the PK code.  I check all return values in the bignum code so if there
+are errors [insufficient memory, etc..] it will be reported.  This makes the code fairly more
+robust and likely to catch any errors.
+-- Updated the is_prime() function to use a new prototype [it can return errors now] and it also
+does trial divisions against more primes before the Rabin Miller steps
+-- Added OFB, CFB and ECB generic wrappers for the symmetric ciphers to round out the implementations.
+-- Added Xtea to the list of ciphers, to the best of my ability I have verified this implementation.
+I should note that there is not alot of concrete information about the cipher.  "Ansi C" versions
+I found did not address endianess and were not even portable!.  This code is portable and to the
+best of my knowledge implements the Xtea algorithm as per the [short] X-Tea paper.
+-- Reformated the manual to include the **FULL** source code optimized to be pritable.
+January 9th, 2002
+v0.27  -- Changed the char constants to numerical values.  It is backwards compatible and should work on
+platforms where 'd' != 100 [for example].
+-- Made a change to rand_prime() which takes the input length as a signed type so you can pass
+a negative len to get a "3 mod 4" style prime... oops
+-- changed the MSVC makefile to build with a warning level of three, no warnings!
+January 8th, 2002
+v0.26  -- updated SHA-256 to use ROR() for a rotate so 64-bit machines won't corrupt
+the output
+-- Changed #include <> to #include "" for local .h files as per Richard Heathfields' suggestions.
+-- Fixed bug in MPI [well bug in MSVC] that compiled code incorrectly in mp_set_int()
+I added a work around that catches the error and continues normally.
+January 8th, 2002
+v0.25  -- Added a stupid define so MSVC 6.00 can build the library.
+-- Big thanks to sci.crypt and "Ajay K. Agrawal" for helping me port this to MSVC
+January 7th, 2002
+v0.24  -- Sped up Blowfish by unrolling and removing the swaps.
+-- Made the code comply with more traditional ANSI C standards
+Should compile with MSVC with less errors
+-- moved the demos and documentation into their own directories
+so you can easily build the library with other tool chains
+by compiling the files in the root
+-- converted functions with length of outputs to use
+"unsigned long" so 16-bit platforms will like this library more.
+January 5th, 2002
+v0.23  -- Fixed a small error in the MPI config it should build fine anywhere.
+January 4th, 2002
+v0.22  -- faster gf_mul() code
+-- gf_shl() and gf_shr() are safe on 64-bit platforms now
+-- Fixed an error in the hashes that Brian Gladman found.
+Basically if the message has exactly 56 bytes left to be
+compressed I handled them incorrectly.
+January 4th, 2002
+v0.21  -- sped up the ECC code by removing redundant divisions in the
+point add and double routines.  I also extract the bits more
+efficiently in "ecc_mulmod()" now.
+-- sped up [and documented] the rand_prime() function.  Now it just
+makes a random integer and increments by two until a prime is found
+This is faster since it doesn't require alot of calls to the PRNG and
+it doesn't require loading huge integers over and over.  rand_prime()
+can also make primes congruent to 3 mod 4 [i.e for a blum integer]
+-- added a gf_sqrt() function that finds square roots in a GF(2^w) field
+-- fixed a bug in gf_div() that would return the wrong results if the divisor had a greator
+divisor than the dividend.
+January 4th, 2002
+v0.20  -- Added the fixed MPI back in so RSA and DH are much faster again
+v0.19  -- Updated the manual to reflect the fact that Brian Gladman wrote the AES and Serpent code.
+-- DH, ECC and RSA signature/decryption functions check if the key is private
+-- new DH signature/verification code works just like the RSA/ECC versions
+January 3rd, 2002
+v0.18  -- Added way more comments to each .C file
+-- fixed a bug in cbc_decrypt(pt, ct, key) where pt == ct [i.e same buffer]
+-- fixed RC5 so it reads the default rounds out of the cipher_descriptor table
+-- cleaned up ecc_export()
+-- Cleaned up dh_import() and ecc_import() which also perform more
+error checking now
+-- Fixed a serious flaw in rsa_import() with private keys.
+January 2nd, 2002
+v0.17  -- Fixed a bug in the random prime generator that fixes the wrong bits to one
+-- ECC and DH code verify that the moduli and orders are in fact prime.  That
+slows down the test routines alot but what are you gonna do?
+-- Fixed a huge bug in the mp_exptmod() function which incorrectly calculates g^x mod p for some
+values of p.  I replaced it with a slow function.  Once the author of MPI fixes his faster routine
+I will switch back.
+January 1st, 2002 [whoa new year!]
+v0.16  -- Improved GF division code that is faster.
+-- documented the GF code
+December 31st, 2001
+v0.15  -- A 1792-bit and 2048-bit DH setting was added.  Took me all night to
+find a 1792 and 2048-bit strong prime but what the heck
+-- Library now has polynomial-basis GF(2^w) routines I wrote myself.  Can be used to perform
+ECC over GF(2^w) later on....
+-- Fixed a bug with the defines that allows it to build in windows
+December 30th, 2001
+v0.14  -- Fixed the xxx_encrypt() packet routines to make an IV of appropriate size
+for the cipher used.  It was defaulting to making a 256-bit IV...
+-- base64_encode() now appends a NULL byte, um "duh" stupid mistake now fixed...
+-- spell checked the manual again... :-)
+December 30th, 2001
+v0.13  -- Switching back to older copy of MPI since it works! arrg..
+-- Added sign/verify functions for ECC
+-- all signature verification routines default to invalid signatures.
+-- Changed all calls to memset to zeromem.  Fixed up some buffer problems
+in other routines.  All calls to zeromem let the compiler determine the size
+of the data to wipe.
+December 29th, 2001
+v0.12  -- Imported a new version of MPI [the bignum library] that should
+be a bit more stable [if you want to write your own bignum
+routines with the library that is...]
+-- Manual has way more info
+-- hash_file() clears stack now [like it should]
+-- The artificial cap on the hash input size of 2^32 bits has been
+removed.  Basically I was too lazy todo 64-bit math before
+[don't ask why... I can't remember].  Anyways the hashes
+support the size of 2^64 bits [if you ever use that many bits in a message
+that's just wierd...]
+-- The hashes now wipe the "hash_state" after the digest is computed.  This helps
+prevent the internal state of the hash being leaked accidently [i.e stack problems]
+December 29th, 2001
+v0.11  -- Made #define's so you can trim the library down by removing
+ciphers, hashs, modes of operation, prngs, and even PK algorithms
+For example, the library with rijndael+ctr+sha1+ECC is 91KB compared
+to the 246kb the full library takes.
+-- Added ECC packet routines for encrypt/decrypt/sign/verify much akin to
+the RSA packet routines.
+-- ECC now compresses the public key, a ECC-192 public key takes 33 bytes
+for example....
+December 28th, 2001
+v0.10  -- going to restart the manual from scratch to make it more
+clear and professional
+-- Added ECC over Z/pZ.  Basically provides as much as DH
+except its faster since the numbers are smaller.  For example,
+A comparable 256-bit ECC key provides as much security as expected
+from a DH key over 1024-bits.
+-- Cleaned up the DH code to not export the symbol "sets[]"
+-- Fixed a bug in the DH code that would not make the correct size
+random string if you made the key short.  For instance if you wanted
+a 512-bit DH key it would make a 768-bit one but only make up 512-bits
+for the exponent... now it makes the full 768 bits [or whatever the case
+is]
+-- Fixed another ***SERIOUS*** bug in the DH code that would default to 768-bit
+keys by mistake.
+December 25th, 2001
+v0.09  -- Includes a demo program called file_crypt which shows off
+how to use the library to make a command line tool which
+allows the user to encode/decode a file with any
+hash (on the passphrase) and cipher in CTR mode.
+-- Switched everything to use typedef's now to clear up the code.
+-- Added AES (128/192 and 256 bit key modes)
+December 24th, 2001
+v0.08  -- fixed a typo in the manual. MPI stores its bignums in
+BIG endian not little.
+-- Started adding a RNG to the library.  Right now it tries
+to open /dev/random and if that fails it uses either the
+MS CSP or the clock drift RNG.  It also allows callbacks
+since the drift RNG is slow (about 3.5 bytes/sec)
+-- the RNG can also automatically setup a PRNG as well now
+v0.07  -- Added basic DH routines sufficient to
+negotiate shared secrets
+[see the manual for a complete example!]
+-- Fixed rsa_import to detect when the input
+could be corrupt.
+-- added more to the manual.
+December 22nd, 2001
+v0.06  -- Fixed some formatting errors in
+the hash functions [just source code cleaning]
+-- Fixed a typo in the error message for sha256 :-)
+-- Fixed an error in base64_encode() that
+would fail to catch all buffer overruns
+-- Test program times the RSA and symmetric cipher
+routines for kicks...
+-- Added the "const" modifier to alot of routines to
+clear up the purpose of each function.
+-- Changed the name of the library to "TomCrypt"
+following a suggestion from a sci.crypt reader....
+v0.05  -- Fixed the ROL/ROR macro to be safe on platforms
+where unsigned long is not 32-bits
+-- I have added a bit more to the documentation
+manual "crypt.pdf" provided.
+-- I have added a makefile for LCC-Win32.  It should be
+easy to port to other LCC platforms by changing a few lines.
+-- Ran a spell checker over the manual.
+-- Changed the header and library from "crypt" to "mycrypt" to not
+clash with the *nix package "crypt".
+v0.04  -- Fixed a bug in the RC5,RC6,Blowfish key schedules
+where if the key was not a multiple of 4 bytes it would
+not get loaded correctly.
+December 21st, 2001
+v0.03  -- Added Serpent to the list of ciphers.
+v0.02  -- Changed RC5 to only allow 12 to 24 rounds
+-- Added more to the manual.
+v0.01  -- We will call this the first version.
