Folks, I'm spamming linux-crypto as I'm hoping that I can get some input from you people and hopefully give you something useful back. I have started a new sourceforge project - libaes - to get a decent AES library available to free software projects. This was initially inspired by a version of Jari Ruusu's libaes which I found elsewhere (I guess having just seen him on here the original libaes is from the kernel crypto project). Project is at http://libaes.sourceforge.net/ (not updated yet) http://sourceforge.net/projects/libaes/ Current State:- - Alpha version release (0.01) - Requires block size set at library compilation time - C code based on Brian Gladman's latest drop - Assembly code (128 bit only) working with this (also based on Brian's work) - Assembly version runs twice as fast as C version on my box (this is mostly cos gcc cannot optomise the C well). The Alpha version is meant to be to get input on the API structure and future directions. I also would like to get some coders - assembler especially on several platforms. The current code has the aes context structure as the last parameter on all calls (as Brian's code). I think moving it to the first parameter may suit people better - specially the cbc wrapping routines. Anyhow please grab this, look at it, comment on it etc... There is a mailing list - http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/libaes-devel Regards Nigel. - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
