Does anyone know of a cross platform 1344-bit or similar program?
Hi David,
I assume this is for domestic purposes, or that you are aware of US government restrictions on the export of encryption software supporting keys > 64 bits:
From the Rev IPC group:
1. Very few restrictions exists if the encryption level is 64 bit or lower.
2. Just to post encryption source code to the internet requires notification, beyond that it is OK to post the source code. Including the encryption source code in the libIPC means that it will have to be restricted under ENC review. Someone will have to file papers and get approval to release higher than 64 bit encryption.
some cryptoExportSpeek:
(3) Eligible software. All software that is controlled by the Commerce Control List (Supplement No.1 to part 774 of the EAR), and under Commerce licensing jurisdiction, is eligible for export and reexport, subject to the restrictions of this paragraph (c). Encryption software controlled for "EI" reasons under ECCN 5D002 is eligible for export and reexport under this paragraph (c), provided that the exporter has submitted the information described in paragraph (c)(8) of this section by the time of export. Final encryption products produced by the testing consignee are subject to any applicable provisions in ��742.15(b)(2) of the EAR (for mass market encryption commodities and software with symmetric key length exceeding 64-bits) or ��740.17 of the EAR (License Exception ENC), including review and reporting requirements. <<
FWIW, thanks to Mark Brownell, the IPC group's library will support Blowfish encryption in a future release; but only to 64 bits because of the legal issues. --
