1) How does your implementation correlate to the following
ietf draft?

http://xml.coverpages.org/draft-chudov-cryptopro-cpxmldsig-00.txt

Seems like both are about GOST algorithms :)

Our implementation doesn't implement algorithm-specific key
representation, it uses X.509-format. 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".


google for "gost xmldsig": the first link does not open but
it gives you the "draft-chudov-cryptopro-cpxmldsig-00.txt"
filename to do the next google search :)


2) I noticed that there are a couple files with Cryptocom name
in them. Is your company OK with releasing these files under MIT
license (same as all other xmlsec sources)? Can you explicitly
state these in the files, please?

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.

Thanks! Can you put a standard xmlsec header in these files, please?
For example, AOL donated a lot of code to xmlsec-nss implementation
(take a look at the files in src/nss folder).


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.

OK, it would be good to document these somewhere in the code.


4) I noticed few "FIXME" comments in the code. Is it real? How much
more work is there?

Oh, sorry. They can be completely removed.

:) Great!

I am waiting for another patch with these changes :)

Thanks!
Aleksey
