[Cryptix-users] Some questions about the development/support of the library

[Pavlin M. <mas...@ya...>]

Hi guys,

Is this being developed ?
Because it seems that I need Cryptix or something like
it for my job. But some of the features that I need
are enclosed with TODO or FIX THIS comments in the
library's code and JCE's code. So I wanted to
participate in its developing but I want a newer
version ( from CVS for example ) because some of the
things might be fixed. And of course I would like if
it is possible my changes to be put back in the
versioning system ( of course after a deep review ).
So my question is who I have to contact for taking the
information that I want and fixing some of these
things.

There are couple of things that interested me but the
most important are :
1. Adding a support of SHA2 algorithms in the OpenPGP
( creating algorithm classes and putting them in the
PGPAlgorithmFactory according
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-openpgp-rfc2440bis-15.txt
). Perhaps you know that SHA-1.
2. And of course modifying the code for the
SingedMessageBuilder to use different hash algorithms
for signing - not only SHA-1. And of course the
algorithms will be taken from the user preferences .
3. The same as 2 for the symmetric algorithms.
4. Fixing the search of the subkeys when taking one
for encryption - not just taking the last one.
5. Fixing of the algorithms not to support only the
CryptixCrypto provider but to use the other providers
after trying CryptixCrypto. It seems this is not too
much work. The problem is that Elgamal is not
supported by many providers.

These are the most important things but after that I
am sure there will be another work for doing.
So I will be very grateful if I receive the contacts
of the person who is responsible for the development
of the library.
I see that on the cryptix mailing list page is written
that "Cryptix-Users list run by
wo...@us... " . Is this one of the
emails of the moderators or people responsible for the
project ?

Regards,
Pavlin Maslyankov
