DESCRIPTION ----------- win_dll is a collection of Windows DLL's, with source code, that implements the popular strong cryptosystems and a hashing algorithm. This package is freeware, you can do whatever you like with it as long as you agree that I (the author) assume absolutely no responsibility for any consequences. You should also be aware of any local restrictions on the use of crypto software that may be in effect in your country. This package implements the following: DES The well known U.S. standard IDEA A very strong cipher used in PGP MD5 A secure hashing algorithm by noted cryptographer, Ron Rivest. MDC For want of a better name, a cipher based on the strong cryptographic properties of MD5. Each zipped directory contains its own description and API usage instructions. If you think the men in dark glasses might have interfered with this package before it got to you then you can authenticate it using the supplied PGP signature and my public key which you can get by fingering me. FILES ----- win_dll.asc - PGP signature of win_dll.zip win_dll.zip - zip containing all the files, stored uncompressed. zip gets better compression if allowed to process all the files all together like this rather than one at a time. You need to use `pkunzip -d' to correctly extract this zip. +---------------------------+----------------------------------------------+ | Andy | PGP key fingerprint: EC 80 9C 96 54 63 CC 97 | | finger for PGP key | : FF 7D C5 69 0B 55 23 63 | +---------------------------+----------------------------------------------+
