ANNOUNCE: TclDES: Munitions-grade Tcl scripting!
(Version 0.8)

What is it?

TclDES is a pure-Tcl implementation of the NIST Data
Encryption Standard (DES). The package can perform
encryption and decryption using either the standard
DES algorithm or the triple-DES (3DES) algorithm. All
four DES modes are supported: Electronic Code Block
(ECB), Cipher Block Chaining (CBC), Cipher Feedback
(CFB), and Output Feedback (OFB). TclDES is a port
of a Javascript implementation of DES/3DES (ECB and
CBC modes) by Paul Tero, of Shoppable in the United
Kingdom.... read more

Greetings,

It was quickly brought to my attention that the "package provide" command still listed the version as 0.6, not 0.7. The command has now been fixed and comitted to the CVS archive.

Sorry about the error.... read more
