[Mcrypt-users] mcrypt 2.6.6

[Nikos M. <nm...@gn...>]

Hello,
 I've released an updated version of mcrypt. This is because I received some  
patches from Timo Schultz. I plan no other releases nor work on this project.

9Jun2007: Version 2.6.6
        - Updates in OpenPGP code (Timo)
        - Made the OpenPGP file format the default.

[Mcrypt-users] Mcrypt Installation Error Recursive

[OCOSA L. Acct. <li...@oc...>]

Hello All,

I am trying to install mcrypt v2.5.6 on centos 4.4. I have compiled with 
the following commands:

./configure CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib"
It finally worked so I issued a "make" then a "make check" looks good 
but then a "make install" and then errors. I tried to google but was not 
successful so I joined the list hoping the experts can help me.....

Here is the error! When a "make install" is done!
[code]

[Mcrypt-users] Export Restrictions for libmcrypt and/or

[Steve G. <ste...@hp...>]

Hi --

I see the following information on the summary page for mcrypt

"The relaxation of export regulations, with regards to Open Source 
crypto, means that this software can be downloaded from outside of the 
US, proviso on the downloader not being a Bad Person or from a Bad Country."

However, in practice, I'd like to understand what this really means WRT 
building and delivering products encrypted w/ mcrypt?  A particular form 
I need to fill out is looking for an "US export commodity classification 
number (ECCN)".  Has such a number been assigned for mcrypt?  Does 
anyone have experience in using mcrypt for products sold and delivered 
outside of the US?

Thanks.

   -Steve.

[Mcrypt-users] about the keystream...

[Kostas P. <kp...@gm...>]

Hi, I'm doing a research on cryptanalysis and I'm using libmcrypt. I
had problems compiling my c++ programs  with gcc(gcc version 3.4.4
(Gentoo 3.4.4-r1, ssp-3.4.4-1.0, pie-8.7.8) if it helps, even the ones
from the manual of the library. Anyway I use it from php without a
hinch. I would like to ask you about the keystream. I'm using cast128
and I would like to know how exactly do you convert the key from ascii
form to bitstream. You could help me with just one example eg what is
the binary representation of the key:"1234567812345678"???

Thanks in advance

[Mcrypt-users] Encryption speed

[vherva@v.iki.fi]

Hi, 

mcrypt looks like quite nice piece of software.

I was wondering if there is any comparison chart on encryption speed of the
various ciphers (with and without compression)? I couldn't find a good one
with a google search... Also, ìt would be nice to know how mcrypt stacks
up against other implementations (in particular, the assembler ones)? 

I know I could do the tests myself, but I would be surprised if anyone
hasn't done so already.

What I'm actually looking for is a *cheap* way of encrypting large backups -
they will be placed in relatively safe place, but encryption would be nice
to have just in case. But I wouldn't want to trade off the backup speed
(harddisk copying speed) for this...

So far I found out that light compression (--openpgp-z 1) and a cheap
algorithm (such as arcfour) gives almost sufficient performance on my
hardware, but it definetely could be faster.

[Mcrypt-users] RC4 / DES56

[Steve <lor...@ya...>]

Hi

Firstly I know very little about the art of
cryptography. I'm trying to connect to an online
credit card processing system where I need to encrypt
two pieces of data (the amount and order id) using
either a DES56 or RC4 algorthim.  I have access to the
mcrypt libraries via PHP.

My questions. What is DES56 and how does it differ
from DES? Can DES56 be done with the mcrypt libraries?
Can anyone recommend a good tutorial on the web where
I can figure out how to do this? Is RC4 is easier to
implement? I believe that the ECB mode is best for
encrypting text strings, do I have to know what
encryption mode the bank is using? Or do the different
modes end in the same result but go about it in
different ways?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

cheers
steve
