NeuG 0.05 was released with just a bit of speed improvement. NeuG is
an implementation of True Random Number Generator based on
quantization error of ADC of STM32F103.
Also, Gnuk 1.0.2 was released. Gnuk is an implementation of
Cryptographic Token for GnuPG, and it runs on STM32F103. Highlights
are:
* Product string is now "Gnuk Token" (was: "FSIJ USB Token")
Since the USB ID Repository suggests not including vendor name
in product string, we changed the product string.
* New tool (experimental): test/upgrade_by_passwd.py
This is the tool to install new firmware to Gnuk Token, provided
that it's just shipped from factory (and nothing changed). It
authenticate as admin by factory setting, register a public key
for firmware upgrade, and then, does firmware upgrade.
* tool/gnuk_upgrade.py supports '-k' option
It now supports RSA key on the host PC (not the one on the Token).
* New tool: tool/get_raw_public_key.py
This is a script to dump raw data of RSA public key, which is useful
to register to Gnuk Token as a firmware upgrade key.
* New tool: tool/gnuk_remove_keys_libusb.py
This tool is libusb version of gnuk_remove_keys.py. Besides, a bug in
gnuk_remove_keys.py was fixed.
* CCID protocol fix
When time extension is requested by Gnuk Token to host PC, argument
field was 0, which was wrong (but it works for most PC/SC
implementations and GnuPG internal driver). Now it's 1, which means
1*BWT.
* OpenPGP card protocol enhancement
Now, VERIFY command accepts empty data and returns remaining trial
counts, or 0x9000 (OK) when it's already authenticated. This is
useful for application to synchronize card's authentication status.
After this release, I branched off STABLE-BRANCH-1-0, and resumed
further development of Gnuk in master branch.
