It seems that it is yet another reason to support adding new assymetric algorithms by loadable engines. Providing plugins with patented algorithms is much easier for patent holders than maintaining patched version of openssl. And it is much easier to users to just drop in an engine module. Although our current proposal http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openssl-dev&m=109947214028600&w=2 doesn't specify a way to automatically load such plugins into all applications which link with libcrypto. It should be obvois next step when we get this infrastructure working. > ______________________________________________________________________ > OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org > Development Mailing List [email protected] > Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] > ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List [email protected] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
