Another $500,000 of the money funded the work of United Kingdom-based researchers on a related project called OpenSSL, which is used to encrypt data.
OpenSSH, sshurely.
Is that UK-based? OpenSSL might well be, at least sort-of, but OpenSSH? I dunno, but I doubt it.
No, OpenSSL - I know, coz I did most of the work. OpenSSH is not a "related project" it is part of OpenBSD.
There are potential problems ahead for OpenSSL in the UK. The EU dual-use/ (including crypto) export control regulations might be about to be implemented here, under the Export Control Act 2002,.. but it won't affect the actual releases, just talking about them beforehand...
Amusing. Not. Incidentally, OpenSSL is (currently) hosted in Switzerland, if that matters. Cheers, Ben. -- http://www.apache-ssl.org/ben.html http://www.thebunker.net/ "There is no limit to what a man can do or how far he can go if he doesn't mind who gets the credit." - Robert Woodruff
