From bram at GAWTH.COM Sun Jan 6 02:53:49 2002 From: bram at GAWTH.COM (Bram Cohen) Date: Sat, 5 Jan 2002 17:53:49 -0800 Subject: [PYTHON-CRYPTO] New release of BitTorrent out Message-ID: A new release of BitTorrent is out, along with a new page - http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/ New in this release - New file in demo, in case you already got the old one :-) A complete rewrite of all the upload/download logic Tit-for-tat upload preferences TCP buffering awareness Better install process under UNIX And tons of other small improvements. We did a test run of the new release yesterday, and it handled six simultaneous downloaders without breaking a sweat, my guess is the current version handles twenty no problem. This release marks the confluence of two events - a) BitTorrent getting mature enough to be used commercially b) Bram has spent enough time unemployed and needs to find a job If you're one of the many companies who could benefit from reduced bandwidth costs, now would be a good time to hire me to ensure BitTorrent reaches full maturity. -Bram Cohen "Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent" -- John Maynard Keynes From bram at gawth.com Sun Jan 6 05:35:39 2002 From: bram at gawth.com (Bram Cohen) Date: Sat, 5 Jan 2002 20:35:39 -0800 (PST) Subject: [PYTHON-CRYPTO] New release of BitTorrent out In-Reply-To: <3C37BD4E.EAE1C3DF@stroeder.com> Message-ID: On Sun, 6 Jan 2002, Michael [iso-8859-1] Str?der wrote: > Bram Cohen wrote: > > > > A new release of BitTorrent is out, along with a new page - > > I can't see how this is related to python-crypto list. It's written in Python, and it does a lot of crypto :-) I can skip sending to pycrypto later if it's really inappropriate... -Bram Cohen "Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent" -- John Maynard Keynes From michael at stroeder.com Sun Jan 6 17:49:43 2002 From: michael at stroeder.com (Michael =?iso-8859-1?Q?Str=F6der?=) Date: Sun, 06 Jan 2002 17:49:43 +0100 Subject: [PYTHON-CRYPTO] New release of BitTorrent out References: Message-ID: <3C388027.49AD70BD@stroeder.com> Bram Cohen wrote: > > On Sun, 6 Jan 2002, Michael [iso-8859-1] Str?der wrote: > > > Bram Cohen wrote: > > > > > > A new release of BitTorrent is out, along with a new page - > > > > I can't see how this is related to python-crypto list. > > It's written in Python, and it does a lot of crypto :-) I looked at your web page to check yesterday and it was not obvious for me that it's implemented in Python. > I can skip sending to pycrypto later if it's really inappropriate... Off course you're welcome to post announcements about crypto applications implemented in Python. You could avoid misunderstandings by giving a hint. Your posting was somewhat misleading for me. Or maybe I was too tired at that time... ;-) Ciao, Michael.

This snapshot features the following: - Python 2.2 compatibility. - AuthCookie, for creating and verifying unforgeable HMAC'ing cookies based on the scheme described at http://cookies.lcs.mit.edu/. Documentation is, as usual, sparse, but AuthCookie's unit tests (17 of them) should serve to demonstrate its usage. Feedback is appreciated, especially wrt AuthCookie, especially if you discover that it is broken! ;-) With the advent of Python 2.2, I no longer support Python 2.0. I will probably also drop Python 1.5.2 backwards-compatibility RSN. This snapshot requires SWIG 1.3.6 exactly. I have not had the time to check out newer SWIG versions. As usual, M2Crypto is here: http://www.post1.com/home/ngps/m2/ Cheers. -- Ng Pheng Siong * http://www.netmemetic.com From LISTSERV at NIC.SURFNET.NL Thu Jan 17 17:08:53 2002 From: LISTSERV at NIC.SURFNET.NL (L-Soft list server at SURFnet (The Netherlands) (1.8d)) Date: Thu, 17 Jan 2002 17:08:53 +0100 Subject: PYTHON-CRYPTO: colliera@NU.AC.ZA left the list Message-ID: <200201171609.RAA07974@post.webmailer.de> Thu, 17 Jan 2002 17:08:53 Andrew Collier has just signed off the PYTHON-CRYPTO list (generic crypto class API for Python).

Herbrip is a command-line implementation of the Herbivore protocol (the name stands for "Herbivore Reference Implementation in Python"). Herbrip contains a working encryption engine, and ways of integrating it into a Unix email system (MUAs and MTAs). Once set up, it should be transparent in normal operation. Herbrip is pre-alpha software; so, while it works, I don't particularly recommend it for intensive use yet. Herbrip was developed under Linux, but should work with any Unix-like system. The main change in Version 0.4.0 is the addition of "hooks" so it can automatically read and process incoming and outgoing email. Herbrip is now ready to connect up to your existing email client and MTA. Herbrip is available from: The Herbivore home page is at: Herbrip is licenced under the GNU GPL. -- ===== Philip Hunt ===== philh at comuno.freeserve.co.uk ===== * strong public-key email encryption * automatically decrypt incoming mail * automatically encrypt outgoing mail, including attachments and headers * automatically propagate your public key and manage others' public keys What encryption package does all this?
