Slightly related to .NET CF I have been able to port a limited subset to Xamarin’s API and am having zero issues on Android. I’m compiling tonight on iOS and debugging now.
The Shared Profiles subset API seems to leave out Android and iOS specific implementations of SecureRandom. I have been able to simply paste the relevant BC code into an Android or iOS project and have success (assuming the references to mono are added). I don’t know how highly utilized .NET CF is, but I hope to get some more mono/Xamarin support. I will contribute if I can figure out how to slice off a piece of work that can be imported as a unit. My fundamental limitation in contributing is that there are so many dependencies and related files that I can’t figure out my “commit unit of work”. If you can help me scope my efforts into a manageable workload, I would be glad to contribute and map Xamarin compiler directives to BC From: Peter Dettman <peter.dett...@bouncycastle.org<mailto:peter.dett...@bouncycastle.org>> Reply-To: Peter Dettman <peter.dett...@bouncycastle.org<mailto:peter.dett...@bouncycastle.org>> Date: Tuesday, March 31, 2015 at 1:33 AM To: "announce-crypto-csh...@bouncycastle.org<mailto:announce-crypto-csh...@bouncycastle.org>" <announce-crypto-csh...@bouncycastle.org<mailto:announce-crypto-csh...@bouncycastle.org>>, "dev-crypto-csharp@bouncycastle.org<mailto:dev-crypto-csharp@bouncycastle.org>" <dev-crypto-csharp@bouncycastle.org<mailto:dev-crypto-csharp@bouncycastle.org>> Subject: [dev-crypto-csharp] Release 1.8.0-RC.1 now available Hi All, A release candidate for 1.8.0 is now available at http://downloads.bouncycastle.org/betas/ . The most notable changes: - DTLS client/server support. - Improved TLS_PSK, including server-side support. - Improved TLS_SRP, including server-side support and group validation (defaults to RFC 5054 Appendix A groups). - Added further precautions against smacktls-type TLS state-machine attacks. - Added custom elliptic curve implementations (via CustomNamedCurves registry) for all the binary-field curves in SEC (with aliases for the NIST B-??? and K-??? equivalents). Also for a few of the smaller prime-field curves. Now a request for help with .NET Compact Framework: we would like to maintain support for .NET CF 1.0 in 1.8.0, but I have concluded that I no longer have an environment in which to develop for this (the SDK appears to not be separately downloadable). I doubt that the needed changes are very extensive, but they are there. If there's anyone out there that can help with this, please contribute your patches! (preferably at https://github.com/bcgit/bc-csharp).
