Latest Java Releases
Release 1.45 is now available for download.
This release adds support EC MQV to the light weight and CMS/SMIME libraries. In addition to that OpenPGP now supports UTF-8 in file names for literal data, EC keys are now serialisable, and the provider now makes use of a privileged block for constructing the provider table.
In addition, two areas of the library have been reviewed with a view to tightening up security and reliability. Firstly, the ASN.1 library would occasionally lose track of the stream size if it was predefined, creating the potential for an OutOfMemory error on a badly corrupted stream, we believe we have to eliminate this problem. Secondly, the provider and the lightweight API have been reviewed to eliminate the possibility of timing attacks in several areas, such as with cipher modes like GCM and CCM.
For further details on changes and enhancements please see the release notes.As always, others have contributed to this release. You can find them listed in the contributors file. Thank you, one and all!
If you're interested in grabbing the lot in one hit (includes JCE, JCE provider, light weight API, J2ME, JDK1.2, JDK1.1, and JDK1.0 compatibility classes, signed jars, fries, and king prawns...) download crypto-145.tar.gz or crypto-145.zip, otherwise if you are only interested in one version in particular, see below.
Signed JAR files
From release 1.40 the implementation of the IDEA encryption algorithm was removed from the regular jar files at the request of a number of users. Jars with names of the form *-ext-* still include the IDEA implementation.
