Hi folks,
New to the mailing list. I joined after find out that Microsoft hasn't
implemented any authentication-encryption algorithms in the standard .NET
library. I came across Bouncy Castle. I see that the last release was
April, 2011 - almost 2 years back. Of course, crypto standard don't change
every quarter so perhaps activity isn't warranted. I had three questions:
1. Is this project still alive/active? I didn't find a GIT repository /
commit logs etc.
2. Are there any known major concerns with this project's *implementation* of
the GCM mode of Authentication-Encryption (AE)
3. If still alive per #1, are there any plans on implementing OCB mode of
AE ? The previously restrictive license is vastly simplified and was done
just over two weeks ago (http://www.cs.ucdavis.edu/~rogaway/ocb/license.htm
)
Cheers
Sid
