-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2008-7072 2008-09-05 10:33:35 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : bcrypt Product : Fedora 9 Version : 1.1 Release : 2.fc9 URL : http://bcrypt.sourceforge.net/ Summary : File encryption utility Description : Bcrypt is a cross platform file encryption utility. Encrypted files are portable across all supported operating systems and processors. Passphrases must be between 8 and 56 characters and are hashed internally to a 448 bit key. However, all characters supplied are significant. The stronger your passphrase, the more secure your data. In addition to encrypting your data, bcrypt will by default overwrite the original input file with random garbage three times before deleting it in order to thwart data recovery attempts by persons who may gain access to your computer. Bcrypt uses the blowfish encryption algorithm published by Bruce Schneier in 1993. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #456303 - Review Request: bcrypt - File encryption utility https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=456303 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
