From wk на gnupg.org Wed Jun 29 12:18:34 2011 From: wk на gnupg.org (Werner Koch) Date: Wed, 29 Jun 2011 12:18:34 +0200 Subject: [gnupg-ru] [Announce] Libgcrypt 1.5.0 released Message-ID: <874o39hret.fsf@vigenere.g10code.de> Hello! The GNU project is pleased to announce the availability of Libgcrypt version 1.5.0. This is the new stable version of Libgcrypt and upward compatible with the 1.4 series. The 1.4 series will enter end of life state on 2012-12-31. Libgcrypt is a general purpose library of cryptographic building blocks. It is originally based on code used by GnuPG. It does not provide any implementation of OpenPGP or other protocols. Thorough understanding of applied cryptography is required to use Libgcrypt. Noteworthy changes between version 1.4.6 and 1.5.0: * New function gcry_kdf_derive implementing OpenPGP S2K algorithms and PBKDF2. * Support for WindowsCE. * Support for ECDH. * Support for OAEP and PSS methods as described by RFC-3447. * Fixed PKCS v1.5 code to always return the leading zero. * New format specifiers "%M" and "%u" for gcry_sexp_build. * Support opaque MPIs with "%m" and "%M" in gcry_sexp_build. * New functions gcry_pk_get_curve and gcry_pk_get_param to map ECC parameters to a curve name and to retrieve parameter values. * gcry_mpi_cmp applied to opaque values has a defined semantic now. * Uses the Intel AES-NI instructions if available. * The use of the deprecated Alternative Public Key Interface (gcry_ac_*) will now print compile time warnings. * *The module register subsystem has been deprecated.* This subsystem is not flexible enough and would always require ABI changes to extend the internal interfaces. It will eventually be removed. Please contact us on the gcrypt-devel mailing list to discuss whether you really need this feature or how it can be replaced by an internal plugin mechanism. * CTR mode may now be used with data chunks of arbitrary length. * Interface changes relative to the 1.4.6 release: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ GCRY_PK_ECDH NEW. gcry_pk_get_curve NEW. gcry_pk_get_param NEW. GCRYCTL_DISABLE_HWF NEW. gcry_kdf_derive NEW. gcry_pk_encrypt EXTENDED: Support OAEP. gcry_pk_decrypt EXTENDED: Support OAEP. gcry_pk_sign EXTENDED: Support PSS. gcry_pk_verify EXTENDED: Support PSS. gcry_sexp_build EXTENDED: Add format specifiers M and u.

Improving Libgcrypt is costly, but you can help! We are looking for organizations that find Libgcrypt useful and wish to contribute back. You can contribute by reporting bugs, improve the software [2], order extensions or support or more general by donating money to the Free Software movement [3]. Commercial support contracts for Libgcrypt are available [4], and they help finance continued maintenance. g10 Code GmbH, a Duesseldorf based company, is currently funding Libgcrypt development. We are always looking for interesting development projects. Many thanks to all who contributed to Libgcrypt development, be it bug fixes, code, documentation, testing or helping users.
