Ada Cryptographic Framework (ACF) / News: Recent posts

In the shortest time possible, a new alpha release of the ACF will be available. This new release will include: Multiprecission Natural Number Arithmetic, Secure Random Generators and some symmetric ciphers (at least 3-way, blowfish and DES).

As of December 16th, the first file release of ACF is available for download. The release consists of the Ada packages that implement cryptographic hash algorithms, the test drivers and a user's manual in pdf format.

ACF source code implementing hashing algorithms (MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA-1, RIPEMD-128, RIPEMD-160, TIGER, and HAVAL) are available from the project`s CVS repository at http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/adacf/src/

Test drivers source is also available at http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/adacf/test_drivers/

Before Christmas, the first Alpha Release of the ACF framework will be available. It contains functionality for computing message digest, implementing the MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA-1, RIPEMD-128, RIPEMD-160, and TIGER algorithms. HAVAL is currently under development/testing.
