./security/dhbitty, Small public key ECDH encryption/decryption program

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]


Branch: CURRENT, Version: 20120806, Package name: dhbitty-20120806, Maintainer: agc

dhbitty is a small public key encryption program written in C. It
uses elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman in the form of Curve25519 to
establish a shared secret between two users, and uses that secret to
symmetrically encrypt and authenticate messages.

There are no private key files; only passphrases. Never lose that
pesky thing again.

Both the sender and the receiver can decrypt a message. In fact,
there is no distinction between sender and receiver. Both passphrases
must be strong.

There is no signing. A similarly useful form of authentication occurs
using only DH. dhbitty attempts to be as simple as possible. It is
not optimized, but achieves a comfortable speed for most uses. It
does not use floating point numbers, or integers longer than 32 bits.
It does not contain more algorithms than are needed.

Add SHA512 digests for distfiles for security category

Problems found locating distfiles:

	Package f-prot-antivirus6-ws-bin: missing distfile fp-NetBSD.x86.32-ws-6.2.3.tar.gz

	Package uvscan: missing distfile vlp4510e.tar.Z

Otherwise, existing SHA1 digests verified and found to be the same on
the machine holding the existing distfiles (morden).  All existing
SHA1 digests retained for now as an audit trail.
