But so, it doesn't conflict with the draft. How did you find this draft at the site? I was able to find it only searching by word "GOST". > 2) I noticed that there are a couple files with Cryptocom name > in them.

Is there a standard form of such a disclaimer? Our company is OK with releasing them under MIT license. I've found only 2 files mentioning our company, and not all the identifiers from them are necessary. > 3) What does user need to actually use these new GOST algorithms? > Is it a part of standard Windows distribution? OpenSSL distribution? The user should install a CSP providing the algorithms to use these algorithms. There are at least 3 commercial products providing the algorithms. Unfortunately other crypto libraries don't support the GOST algorithms. Though we have a huge patch to OpenSSL providing them. > 4) I noticed few "FIXME" comments in the code. Is it real?

They can be completely removed. -- SY, Dmitry Belyavsky (ICQ UIN 11116575) _______________________________________________ xmlsec mailing list [email protected] http://www.aleksey.com/mailman/listinfo/xmlsec
