and no package is using it ATM).
4.1.1:
- Fixed shared library version info.
4.1.0:
- Added SHA-384 and SHA-512 algorithms.
- Added HMAC-SHA-384 and HMAC-SHA-512 algorithms.
- Added generic SSE2 optimization for the above algorithms.
- Added more digest algorithms for PKCS#1 EMSA.
- Optimized swap32 and swap64 routines on Linux.
- Fixed missing definition in mpopt.h for s390x.
- Fixed nostackexec configuration bug.
- Fixed problem in Date::toString.
- Fixed deadlock problem which occured in certain cases where security
or crypto SPI constructor called getInstance for another security or
crypto SPI.
- Fixed a bug in the generic CBC encryption code; when called with
nblocks == 1, the feedback was set incorrectly.
- Fixed a bug in mpbsubmod; sometimes it takes multiple additions of
the modulus to get a positive number.
- Fixed PowerPC 64-bit configuration problem on Linux.
4.0.0:
- Added a C++ API interface, modeled after Java's security & crypto API.
- Added the new GNU noexecstack feature.
- Added more x86_64 and s390x assembler routines.
- Modified i2osp, so that it only requires as many octets as there are
significant bytes in the multi-precision integers.
- Fixed a bug in the creation of rsa keypairs; code was not correctly
migrated to new calling sequence. The code now implements the method
described in IEEE P.1363.
- Fixed another bug in mpextgcd_w which sometimes returned incorrect
results.
- Fixed a bug in mprshiftlsz, which didn't work correctly when size = 1.
- Fixed a configuration problem on Tru64 Unix.
3.1.0:
- Added wiping of private key components of keypairs before freeing.
- Fixed bug in mpextgcd_w which sometimes returned incorrect result.
- Fixed error in PowerPC 64-bit assembler symbol definitions.
All library names listed by *.la files no longer need to be listed
in the PLIST, e.g., instead of:
lib/libfoo.a
lib/libfoo.la
lib/libfoo.so
lib/libfoo.so.0
lib/libfoo.so.0.1
one simply needs:
lib/libfoo.la
and bsd.pkg.mk will automatically ensure that the additional library
names are listed in the installed package +CONTENTS file.
Also make LIBTOOLIZE_PLIST default to "yes".
3.0.0:
- Cleaned up installed header files.
- Modified the API so that all keys can be passed as arrays of bytes.
- Modified the API so that all key sizes are given in bits.
- Modified the multi-precision integer library to work better on 64-bit
machines.
- Modified the assembly source generation mechanism, employing the m4
macro processor.
- Added multi-precision integer vectorized assembler routines for
Itanium.
- Added multi-precision integer assembler routines for PowerPC 64-bit.
- Added multi-precision integer assembler routines for Alpha.
- Added multi-precision integer assembler routines for Opteron.
- Added multi-precision integer assembler routines for IBM zSeries 64-bit.
- Added multi-precision integer assembler routines for M68K.
- Added Jeff Johnson's python bindings.
- Added new unit tests.
- Added new benchmarking programs.
2.3.0pre:
- Modified the header files so that the library now uses self-contained
autoconf-generated configuration files; a program employing BeeCrypt can
now use the symbols already tested and defined instead of having to
regenerate them (thus also eliminating the risk of inconsistencies).
- Added the AES algorithm, with assembler routines for i586 and powerpc.
- Added the DSA signature algorithm.
- Added PowerPC assembler routines for blowfish.
- Added Pentium4 SSE2 assembler multiplication routines.
- Fixed the RSA CRT algorithm.
- Fixed the gas/i386 mp32even and mp32odd routines.
- Fixed a bug in modular inverse computation; thanks to Jeff Johnson of
RedHat for pointing this out.
- Fixed a bug in testing the result of a gcd operation in the mp32prndconone
routine.
- Fixed an ugly bug in base64 decoding.
- Fixed compatibility with the latest automake & autoconf versions.
- Replaces CPU optimization mechanism in configure script.
BeeCrypt is an open source cryptography library that contains highly
optimized C and assembler implementations of many well-known algorithms
including Blowfish, MD5, SHA-1, Diffie-Hellman, and ElGamal.
Unlike some other crypto libraries, BeeCrypt is not designed to solve
one specific problem, like file encryption, but to be a general purpose
toolkit which can be used in a variety of applications.
There are also no patent or royalty issues associated with BeeCrypt, and
it is released under the GNU LGPL license, which means it can used for
free in both open source and closed source commercial projects.
