-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- UPDATE/PATCH OF *SECURE EDIT* for Mac FROM a0.3.3 to a0.3.4 (AND MAILING LIST NOTICE) There was a bug in Secure Edit a0.3.3 that would cause it to crash when setting a default startup pass phrase on 68k macintoshes, but not power macintoshes, which is what I was testing it on. I was not planning to release any upgrades before a major update and release in which I would overhaul most of the program, including changes advised by Colin Plumb and others. However, I thought this was important enough to release a patch. I have uploaded a patch to upgrade a0.3.3 to a0.3.4, as well as a a0.3.4 package, to ripem.msu.edu in the directory /pub/crypt/mac. These correct the bug. However, please save your work regularly as well as before using this feature, just to be safe. I am overhauling much of the program completely for the next release. The method for verifying the default password has also been changed from the previous "baroque" method. Now, it takes the MD5 hash of the key, encrypts this hash on the key, and uses the first 8 bytes of the resulting ciphertext to validate the default startup key. Please report any problems/suggestions/improvements you may have regarding Secure Edit. Also, if you wish to be on a list of email addresses that will receive information about Secure Edit updates or other Miyako Software releases, please send me an email to that effect. Anonymous IDs are, of course, fine. No code will ever be sent by email. Actual programs and source code must be FTP'd from ripem.msu.edu Miyako Software tjb@acpub.duke.edu -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6 iQCVAwUBLt4R708YjrUhOUC5AQE0dQP7BvOWvOe6B1edvJ07RJ60UodPXoYAOmOX DQ6AueVoqrfcYqvstaHQrHl/9V6Ie9P9KbQLdxlHk7CbIsyKgdwOs5YOmUSYB01V YeIpp1YYkNa/ztpdcREtIGA4ghQMU/ijU7Ni6b/kLiITTSMr4HUosvBVEpMkh9Bw 93J/BzpvpO4= =m0R+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
