[Botan-announce] Botan 1.1.13

[Jack L. <ll...@ac...>]

Botan 1.1.13 is a second release candidate for Botan 1.2.0. Mostly just
some final cleanups before 1.2.0, along with adding EAX mode, a new
authenticated cipher mode designed by Wagner, Rogaway, and Bellare
(authenticated cipher mode means you don't have to use a MAC, the cipher
mode will handle both privacy and authenticity).

New features in this release:
  - Added EAX mode
  - Added OMAC, a secure CBC-MAC
  - The removeFromCRL code is now processed correctly in X.509 CRLs
  - Support for various X.509 attributes required by RFC 3280 (mostly
    useless things like title, psuedonym, surname, given name, etc).
  - A new toggle for the memory allocators

Bug fixes in this release:
  - Skipjack's word ordering was reversed [1]
  - Diffie-Hellman would sometimes not do blinding
  - Removed the 'es_pthr' module, it looks to be at least possibly buggy

Misc:
  - Optimized OFB and CTR modes (~5% improvement)
  - Moved Rijndael from rijndael.h to aes.h, renamed AES
  - Removed the 'no_timer' LibraryInitializer option

[1]: At this point, most implementations of Skipjack are probably 'wrong',
     but I figured it was better to go along with the official NIST specs.
     The 1998 test vectors are wrong, NIST published a clarification last
     year to that effect.
