Hash: SHA1
Imad has released Build 08 of PGP 6.5.8ckt. Here is the relevant portion
of the ReadMe File... and it will of course be of particular interest to
TB Users: See item #16.
=====================================================================
1) Added the tiger 192 hash algorithm.
2) Updated the SHA2 hash algorithm.
3) Fixes to enable support for large clipboard where the
contents has no end of line characters.
4) Fixes to enable handling of detached signatures
where the contents of the detached signature file contains
leading non PGP blocks data.
5) Verification blocks for encrypted only messages.
6) Cipher display in the verification block.
7) there are three distinct verification block header/footer
as follows:-
BEGIN/END PGP DECRYPTED/VERIFIED MESSAGE (encrypted/signed)
BEGIN/END PGP DECRYPTED MESSAGE (encrypted only)
BEGIN/END PGP VERIFIED MESSAGE (signed only)
8) Omit version line feature, this may be accessed by entering
a NULL string in the "Version String Preference" combo in
the "Email" tab of the PGP preferences dialog.
9) Enabled editing in the password dialogs, this may be toggled
by ticking "Allow Cut & Paste" tick box in the password dialogs.
I am not too fond of this feature, however, it's there
if that is what you want to do.
10) Updated key servers.
11) The system fixed font is now used for display of the
decrypted/verified message in the PGP text viewer.
12) Fix for PGP 7.x generated RSA v4 keys which used
v3 format checksums.
13) Changed the order of default preferred ciphers
as follows:-
AES256, Twofish256, AES192, 3DES, AES128, CAST5,
IDEA, BLOWFISH.
14) Numerous typo and other misceleneous fixes.
15) Compiled with the July 2000 MS SDK so that the
build will run on the windows 95 OS.
16) The Bat plugin is now bundled with this build.
Make sure you are running the Bat v1.6d or better.
A Note about The Bat PGP plugin of this build:-
When the PGP plugin is invoked, the followings is done:
a) PGPlog will be used to give immediate feedback to the
user about the status of the decrypted/verified message.
b) the verification block(s) will be dumped to the clipboard,
with the processed message(s) block(s) replaced by "<snip>",
for more detailed analysis.
c) If the plugin is called via "OpenPGP Decrypt", the
processed message(s) and verification blocks are
passed to The Bat.
17) Fixes to the installer.
If you have build 07 installed, run "uninstall.exe" which should
be in your PGP install directory to un-install it.
"Add/Remove Program" may or may not work, this has now
been fixed.
Best Regards and happy encrypting
Imad R. Faiad
