The Kerberos (eBones actually) code stared out life like the secure Just in case you guys are interested, I'm the person who originally did the eBones stuff many years ago. I have been doing some more crypto stuff recently but I have only announced it on the ssl-list mailing list, newsgroups anouncements will occur in a week or 2. Anomgst the things. libdes - the des library that came with eBones has had a life of it's own and has been updated quite a bit. It has tripple des, ofb, cfb modes etc now and a few bug fixes. It is now released as part of my SSL implementation. This implementation contains DES, RC4, RSA (full private key generation function etc, infact about half the library is X509/RSA stuff). X509 routines. SSL. There are programs for handling X509 stuff and demo programs for ssl client and server implementation. A friend of mine (Tim Hudson tjh@mincom.oz.au) has put this into SRA telnet/telnetd, Mosaic and httpd (for https). This code has been tested and runs on all unix boxes I could get hold of. The SRA telnet has only been tested on Solaris 2.x and IRIX 5.x. The applications are still being worked on. This code is officially Alpha, in that I'm still working on the library quite a bit but it works and is available for ftp from ftp.psy.uq.oz.au /pub/Crypto/SSL and /pub/Crypto/SSLapps. There is a web page at http://www.psy.uq.oz.au/~ftp/Crypto (I think). The only problem is this machine blew it's root disk and will not be back until monday :-(. Currently SSLeay is not compatable with SSLref from netscape at a call level but it definitly is at a protocol level. In the next week or 2 I'll probably be working on making an interface to my RSA code compatable with RSAref. This code is now all under a licence which makes all of the above free for comercial and non-comercial use, with the restriction that I'm given attribution. Basically the same as the BSD licence. If people are interested in testing and putting SSL into apps under free BSD, feel free to start using the code. Documentation is somewhat lacking but I'll be working on that, you will just have to read the demo programs :-) have fun (on monday when psych is fixed) eric -- Eric Young | And Jesus said unto the masses AARNet: eay@mincom.oz.au |'Go and get a life of your own.'
