CP's -- Since Cypherpunks write code... My Mac encryption software is ready for beta! Anybody out there interested in taking a look-see and giving me some feedback? I incorporated into the software almost all the advice I received in response to my request a month ago for advice about the encryption algorithm, and it seems pretty good to me (I've added cryptographically random IV's and encrypted header data). But I'd be especially interested in feedback on weaknesses/improvements. The program is a System 7 _only_ conventional encryption application, using IDEA CFB. It works drop-and-drag, encrypts files, folders, or whole volumes, allowing pass phrases up to 255 characters in length, and has a small variety of hip features. The program is freeware and (of course) comes with source code. It's called "Curve Encrypt". I've created a software company 'nym, "Curve Software", with an associated PGP public key for release verification (enclosed here). Note that I'd appreciate correspondence relating to the software sent to kinney@bogart.colorado.edu, so I can keep it separate from my other mail. I will only distribute this software within the U.S. I do not want to fuck with ITAR. Please respect this. E-mail me if you want the code. -- Will -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- Version: 2.3 mQCPAiz+bEEAAAEEAMUbtdwYC1vY+s5559ERIvC1MT+Yaw3ozheaHcUciJe7cSAk k9TpAQd7iKukKnQe5kK1YtvYm0JP6fmNrcO8AmG5ukvcOlyuri618sjpXncpQ1cL 5xeV80f3JtmheGMnqAzTK8OyfJ7zRh1PhAZcT/vVzf+JGuCuVcJkEfxTVMrJABEB AAG0K0N1cnZlIFNvZnR3YXJlIDxraW5uZXlAYm9nYXJ0LmNvbG9yYWRvLmVkdT6J AJUCBRAs/m+A9+/hOkiDY/EBARd9A/wIJBxW2w+wStmUhZ2eWLIkMEqbChstKg4W QUVx0h7Z75uVqRBNP5s6wyWfBhHpptjOkre6MNKM+oMGPPfGJFqbPgMwedXCVA+8 XiyEa55YUUTZ5D8OmR4Ot1z9HpKwZAjfJAxs9lrF2kcOF4xvtOeQF/QmuAf27JJU xetOByecLA== =RmKK -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
