<h3>Plans</h3>

<b>Plans for future versions</b><br><ul>

<li> Abstract the padding method out of the EncryptSession / DecryptSession.

<li> Implement PKCS#5 and PKCS#1 padding.

<li> Write a JCE provider.

<li> Port Rijndael/AES.

<li> Add as much support for PGP as I can be bothered to.

<b>Version 1.1.2 (2001.??.??)</b><ul>

<li> Changed the CBC-cmode classes to use PKCS#5 padding.

<li> Changed RSA to use PKCS#1 padding.

<li> Changed RSA to use PKCS#1 v1.5 padding for signatures.

<li> Folded the RSAKeyChin code into the main RSAKey class.

<li> Split the SignatureKey into SigningKey and VerificationKey.

<li> Split the BlindSignatureKey into BlindSigningKey and BlindingKey.

sub-interface of both called CipherKey.þ

<li> Split RSAKey into RSAPublicKey and RSAPrivateKey with all key generation

code in the private key class.

<li> Propagated all these changes all over the place.

<li> Split the jar file into one for the library and another for examples and

test code.

<li> Removed padding code from all EncryptSession and DecryptSession

implementations. Padding should now be done by implementations of the

new org.logi.crypto.padding.Padding interface.

<li> Made the ECB and CBC-mode classes use the new Padding interface.

<li> Implemented PadZero for padding with zero bytes.

<li> Implemented PadNone for throwing an exception if padding would be needed.

This is used by default by ECB-mode with symmetric ciphers.

<li> Implemented PadPKCS5 for PKCS#5 padding. This is used

by default by CBC-mode with symmetric ciphers.

<li> Implemented PadPKCS1v15 for PKCS#1 v1.5 padding. This is used

by default in ECB and CBC-mode with public-key ciphers.

<li> Moved the BlindingFactor interface from the keys package to the sign

package.

<li> Prettied up the javadoc in many places.

<li> Moved the test.hash program into the demo package.

The speed increase is close to twofold. Instances are created for

private keys whenever possible and should be transparent to the user.
