agc b25a1e3218 Add codecrypt, version 1.7.5 to the Packages Collection.
codecrypt is a program like gnupg (or netpgp) that uses only
quantum-computer-resistant algorithms

	This is a GnuPG-like unix program for encryption and signing that uses
	only quantum-computer-resistant algorithms:

	+ McEliece cryptosystem (compact QC-MDPC variant) for encryption
	+ Hash-based Merkle tree algorithm (FMTSeq variant) for digital
	signatures

	Stream ciphers used:  ChaCha20, XSynd stream cipher, RC4 (for initial
	simplicity of implementation)

	CRHFs used:
	+ Cubehash variants were selected for implementation ease, really
	clean design, quite good speed and flexibility of parameter choices.
	KeyID's are CUBE256 hashes of serialized public key.
	+ ripemd128 for small hashes
	+ tiger192 is used as an alternative for Cubehash for 192bit hashes
	+ There's always a variant with SHA-256, SHA-384 or SHA-512.

	Signature algorithms:
	+ FMTSeq with many possibilities and combinations of aforementioned CRHFs

	Encryption:
	MDPC McEliece on quasi-cyclic matrices - decoding is (slightly)
	vulnerable to timing attacks.
