Hi Nettle folks--
There's a typo in the Nettle manual about the ARCTWO block size. the
attached patch (against 2.1) should fix it.
Of course, it might already be fixed on the development trunk. Is there
a public revision control system for nettle someplace i can look at?
--dkg
PS i sent this message earlier PGP/MIME-signed, but it was rejected by
the mailing list with "After content filtering, the message was empty"
-- could the content filtering be relaxed a little bit to allow
multipart/signed messages?
The message MIME structure looked like this:
└┬╴multipart/signed
├┬╴multipart/mixed
│├╴text/plain
│└╴text/x-diff attachment
└╴application/pgp-signature attachment
I then tried re-sending it without the cryptographic signature, which
produced a message like this:
└┬╴multipart/mixed
├╴text/plain
└╴text/x-diff attachment
This second message was rejected with the message:
"The message's content type was not explicitly allowed"
Both of these seem like pretty reasonable message structures for posts
to a cryptographic software development mailing list; it'd be nice if
they could go through :)
Here is the patch inline:
