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].

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.

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.
