Support of RFC 6637: Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) in OpenPGP

[esskar .]

Hello,

I wanted to tell you that i added support for RFC 6637 into the c# version
(among other thinks, like code cleanup and refactorings).
You can find the repository here:
https://github.com/esskar/BouncyCastle.Crypto

The implementation for the encryption is not yet as pretty as i want it to
be, but we needed this feature for product and as the deadline approaches,
i am glad i finished functionality in time, but i can assure you that i
will keep working on the implementation.

I tested against the PGP CommanLine version from Symmantec.

I hope this helps anyone.

Cheers,
esskar

Hi Esskar,

We're always interested in contributions, but as you can imagine there's
generally a lot going on behind the scenes, so scrapping another
repository looking for differences isn't something we're likely to get
to soon.

Would you be able to pull out the changes for EC support in OpenPGP that
your currently comfortable with and email them to me or put them up in
Jira ( http://www.bouncycastle.org/jira/browse/BMA ). I also need you to
confirm to me that you are happy to see the changes released under the
BC license.

You mention you've made a few changes, we're certainly interested in
those as well, but it's better for everyone if we take small steps in
making additions to the code base.

If you need any further assistance let me know.

Regards,

David
