Once you've built the library, you can +verify the correct functioning with 'make check'. + +Multi-precision integer routines should now perform dramatically better +an 64-bit processors, especially Alpha and Itanium. + +Benchmarks can be obtained with 'make bench'. + +As usual, your comments are welcome. + + + +About BeeCrypt: + +This library is an ongoing project of Virtual Unlimited B.V. Its goal is +to provide strong and fast cryptography for use by our products, but +we're not limiting the use to that. We're releasing it under the LGPL +license, because we feel that cryptography should be open to inspection +by everybody, and available for use by everybody to safeguard privacy. + +Note that depending on where you are, the use of cryptography may be +limited or forbidden by law. Before using this library, make sure you +are legally entitled to do so. + + +For more on Virtual Unlimited B.V. and our products please consult our +website: http://www.virtualunlimited.com/ + + + +Most of the algorithms are implemented from reliable sources such as: + +"Handbook of Applied Cryptography" + Alfred J. Menezes, Paul C. van Oorschot, Scott A. Vanstone + CRC Press + +"Applied Cryptography", second edition + Bruce Schneier + Wiley + + +For crypto enthusiasts these books are invaluable background material. + +IEEE P1363 "Standard Specifications for Public Key Cryptography" is a +very interesting draft standard, which we will try to comply with. + + +The structures in the library are geared towards exchange with Java +and its security and cryptography classes. This library can also be +accessed from Java by installing BeeCrypt for Java, a JCE 1.2 crypto +provider and the counterpart of this library. + + +Included in the library are: + - entropy sources for initializing pseudo-random generators + - pseudo-random generators: FIPS-186, Mersenne Twister + - block ciphers: AES, Blowfish + - hash functions: MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256 + - keyed hash functions: HMAC-MD5, HMAC-SHA-1, HMAC-SHA-256 + - multi-precision integer library, with assembler-optimized routines + for several processors + - probabilistic primality testing, with optimized small prime trial + division + - discrete logarithm parameter generation over a prime field + - Diffie-Hellman key agreement + - DSA signature scheme + - ElGamal signature scheme (two variants) + - RSA keypair generation with chinese remainder theorem variables + - RSA public & private key operations + - DHAES encryption scheme + +Planned for the near future are: + - compliance with and compliance statements for IEEE P1363 + - more blockciphers (Twofish, ... ) + - more hash functions (RIPEMD-160, SHA-384, SHA-512, HAVAL, Tiger) + - RSA signatures as specified by RFC-2440. + - Elliptic Curves (ECDSA, ... ) + - more blockcipher modes (OFB, ... ) + +The library has been tested on the following platforms: + - AIX 5.1 ppc + - AIX 5.1 ppc64 + - Darwin 6.5 (a.k.a.
