| Summary : Additional ciphers for GnuPG for PGP2 compatibility
|
Description :
Modules for GnuPG with licensing or security issues. Useful for
interaction with PGP2, see end of file. Contains the gpg-2compat
wrapper script from Gero Treuner, which allows the mixed use of RSA and
DSA keys with GnuPG. Please read the following notes carefully!
IDEA: Patented by Ascom Systec Ltd. of CH-5506 Maegenwil. Only freely
usable for certain non-profit purpose: This software product contains
the IDEA algorithm as described and claimed in US patent 5,214,703, EPO
patent 0482154 (covering Austria, France, Germany, Italy, the
Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the UK), and Japanese
patent application 508119/1991, \"Device for the conversion of a digital
block and use of same\" (hereinafter referred to as \"the algorithm\").
Any use of the algorithm for commercial purposes is thus subject to a
license from MediaCrypt AG, Z�rich, CH (Switzerland), being the owner
of all rights, including the trademark IDEA. For further information on
the allowed use, please contact MediaCrypt AG, Z�rich, Switzerland and
consult their license information http://www.mediacrypt.com/
RIJNDAEL: The winner of the NIST competition to find a new standard
crypto algorithm (so, it\'s ths successor of DES). It\'s now included
into GnuPG 1.0.4, so it\'s not included in here any more.
RSA: This code should not have been exported _to_ the United States
without a license agreement with PKP prior to Sept. 20, 2000, as it was
encumbered by U.S. patent #4,405,829. The RSA support now went into
GnuPG-1.0.3 and is therefore not in this package any more.
RSAREF: This module is Copyright (c) 1999 Jason Gunthorpe
< jggAATTnon-us.debian.org> and is placed into the public domain, do with
it what you will. It comes with no warrenty express or implied. RSAREF
is limited in key size and in the coding of the encrypted data. This
module isn\'t terribly great as RSAREF has no concept of secure memory
so the secret key and the symmetric cipher are written to insecure
memory in several places in this code and within the RSAREF lib. NOT
CURRENTLY BUILT.
SKIPJACK: GPL -- but not recommended for use.
3DES: An alternative 3DES implementation Requires Eric Young\'s SSLeay
or the OpenSSL library. NOT CURRENTLY BUILT.
