| Links About CryptographyNowadays, privacy is becoming a primary concern for everyone.
Here it is a non-comprehensive list of
sites and projects (both
software and
hardware
)
about cryptography. | | | | | | | Sites About Cryptography- Counterpane
- Index of papers about cryptography.

- Notes from the Hash Futures Panel
- The Second NIST Hash Workshop was a day and a half of
presentations and discussion of a wide range of topics relating
to cryptographic hash functions.
- Paulo Barreto
- Paulo Barreto has some informations about EC algorithms.
- Peter Gutmann (mirror)
- Peter Gutmann's excellent link collection (very large!).
- Phil Zimmermann
- Phil Zimmermann is the original creator of Pretty Good Privacy
(PGP) on which the the OpenPGP standard is heavily based.
- Software Generation of Practically Strong Random Numbers
- Peter Gutmann's paper, presented at the
1998 Usenix Security Symposium
,
provides a design for a reasonably OS-independant random data
accumulator and generator and an analysis of its performance.
- Strong Distribution HOWTO
- This HOWTO by V. Alex Brennen's is a very readable paper on how
to distribute Free Software; it even includes a chapter on how
to do this anonymously.
- Ten Risks of PKI
- What You're not Being Told about Public Key Infrastructure By
Carl Ellison and Bruce Schneier.
- Tiger
- Tiger is a new hash algorithm.
- Usability of Security: A Case Study
- A study of PGP 5.0's usability, which found that it was not
sufficiently usable to provide effective security for most users.
| | | | | | | Crypto-Based Software Projects- CTC
- CTC is another free encryption tool.
- GNUTLS
- A somewhat related project to GnuPG is GNUTLS which is
is a GPLed TLS/SSL implementation under development.
- psst
- It is a project to create a free ssh/sshd
replacement. Niels Möller has meanwhile released the software
under the name LSH.
- SCEZ
- SCEZ is a project to access Smartcards under GNU/Linux.
- secfone
- Project on secure telephoning.
| | | | | | | Crypto-Based Hardware Projects- iButton
- A pretty neat device.
- Will Ware
- A cheap random source would be a nice thing. Will Ware
describes such a devices and has links to other sources. It
could be a nice idea to combine that with a DCF77 receiver
(atomic clock).
