Hello, What do you think of having OCB mode in nettle? I particularly like OCB due to it's simplicity and performance comparing to GCM/CCM, but was always patented. However in [0] there is license1 which states: "Under this license, you are authorized to make, use, and distribute open-source software implementations of OCB. This license terminates for you if you sue someone over their open-source software implementation of OCB claiming that you have a patent covering their implementation."
What do you think? Should the FSF be consulted on that? regards, Nikos [0]. http://www.cs.ucdavis.edu/~rogaway/ocb/license.htm _______________________________________________ nettle-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lysator.liu.se/mailman/listinfo/nettle-bugs
