Changes since 5.2.1:
5.2.2 - added SHA-224
- put SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, RSASSA-PSS into DLL
5.2.3 - fixed issues with FIPS algorithm test vectors
- put RSASSA-ISO into DLL
5.3 - ported to MSVC 2005 with support for x86-64
- added defense against AES timing attacks, and more AES test vectors
- changed StaticAlgorithmName() of Rijndael to "AES", CTR to "CTR"
5.4 - added Salsa20
- updated Whirlpool to version 3.0
- ported to GCC 4.1, Sun C++ 5.8, and Borland C++Builder 2006
5.5 - added VMAC and Sosemanuk (with x86-64 and SSE2 assembly)
- improved speed of integer arithmetic, AES, SHA-512, Tiger, Salsa20,
Whirlpool, and PANAMA cipher using assembly (x86-64, MMX, SSE2)
- optimized Camellia and added defense against timing attacks
- updated benchmarks code to show cycles per byte and to time key/IV setup
- started using OpenMP for increased multi-core speed
- enabled GCC optimization flags by default in GNUmakefile
- added blinding and computational error checking for RW signing
- changed RandomPool, X917RNG, GetNextIV, DSA/NR/ECDSA/ECNR to reduce
the risk of reusing random numbers and IVs after virtual machine state
rollback
- changed default FIPS mode RNG from AutoSeededX917RNG<DES_EDE3> to
AutoSeededX917RNG<AES>
- fixed PANAMA cipher interface to accept 256-bit key and 256-bit IV
- moved MD2, MD4, MD5, PanamaHash, ARC4, WAKE_CFB into the namespace "Weak"
- removed HAVAL, MD5-MAC, XMAC
5.5.1 - fixed VMAC validation failure on 32-bit big-endian machines
5.5.2 - ported x64 assembly language code for AES, Salsa20, Sosemanuk, and Panama
to MSVC 2005 (using MASM since MSVC doesn't support inline assembly on x64)
- fixed Salsa20 initialization crash on non-SSE2 machines
- fixed Whirlpool crash on Pentium 2 machines
- fixed possible branch prediction analysis (BPA) vulnerability in
MontgomeryReduce(), which may affect security of RSA, RW, LUC
- fixed link error with MSVC 2003 when using "debug DLL" form of runtime library
- fixed crash in SSE2_Add on P4 machines when compiled with
MSVC 6.0 SP5 with Processor Pack
- added support for newly released compilers: MSVC 2008, GCC 4.2, Sun CC 5.9,
Intel C++ Compiler 10.0, and Borland C++Builder 2007
5.2 - merged in changes for 5.01 - 5.0.4
- added support for using encoding parameters and key derivation parameters
with public key encryption (implemented by OAEP and DL/ECIES)
- added Camellia, SHACAL-2, Two-Track-MAC, Whirlpool, RIPEMD-320,
RIPEMD-128, RIPEMD-256, Base-32 coding
- added ThreadUserTimer for timing thread CPU usage
- added option for password-based key derivation functions
to iterate until a mimimum elapsed thread CPU time is reached
- added option (on by default) for DEFLATE compression to detect
uncompressible files and process them more quickly
- improved compatibility and performance on 64-bit platforms,
including Alpha, IA-64, x86-64, PPC64, Sparc64, and MIPS64
- fixed ONE_AND_ZEROS_PADDING to use 0x80 instead 0x01 as padding.
- fixed encoding/decoding of PKCS #8 privateKeyInfo to properly
handle optional attributes
5.2.1 - fixed bug in the "dlltest" DLL testing program
- fixed compiling with STLport using VC .NET
- fixed compiling with -fPIC using GCC
- fixed compiling with -msse2 on systems without memalign()
- fixed inability to instantiate PanamaMAC
- fixed problems with inline documentation
slightly modified by me.
Crypto++ Library is a free C++ class library of cryptographic schemes.
One purpose of Crypto++ is to act as a repository of public domain
(not copyrighted) source code. Although the library is copyrighted as
a compilation, the individual files in it (except for a few exceptions
listed in the license) are in the public domain.
