I had a quick look at the code and it doesn't seem too hard to add
support in OpenSSL, assuming we can freely use the stuff on the NIST
site. We'd need to add block cipher mode wrappers round it but otherwise
it should be relatively easy.
As I say I only had a quick look but it seems it has a 128 bit block
length and all current OpenSSL ciphers have 64 bit block length, which
is hard coded in a #define... not a real problem though.
Is there any ASN1 stuff with this to allow its use in (say) S/MIME?
There's already a proposed draft for AES and TLS.
Steve.
