Hmm, interesting. It looks like they miss CFB8 and CMAC. However from the first glance I could not understand, do they reference nettle/ GNUTLS as code reference, or are they using them as crypto backends? Skimming over WAF scripts did not give me the answer. I can (re-)post CFB8 if that will be helpful to Samba (or other parties). CMAC also sounds like and interesting topic. -- With best wishes Dmitry _______________________________________________ nettle-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lysator.liu.se/mailman/listinfo/nettle-bugs
