I commited cipher feedback mode today. It allows a block cipher to turn into a stream cipher, useful for network encryption. I also modified test_cipher in the cryptoapi-test module so that it would be easy for me to test different block modes. I added the -t flag, which lets you not enter cipher text to the test parameters. It then takes the key, plaintext and does E(k,p)->c->D(k,c)->p. Then checks to see if the plaintext at the end is the same as what it was given. I also updated the docs on it, so that it prints *slighty* more helpful -h option ;-) with descriptions of what the optons do. Dave |
