Changed RC2_set_key() so it now takes another argument. Many

thanks to Peter Gutmann <pgut01@cs.auckland.ac.nz> for the

|
|
|
clarification and original specification of RC2. BSAFE uses
|

|
|
|
this last parameter, 'bits'. It the key is 128 bits, BSAFE
|
|
|
|
|
also sets this parameter to 128. The old behaviour can be
|
|
|
|
|
duplicated by setting this parameter to 1024.

First version of SSLeay with rc2. This has been written from the spec
|
|
|
|
|
posted sci.crypt. It is in this directory under rrc2.doc
|
|
|
|
|
I have no test values for any mode other than ecb, my wrappers for the
|
|
|
|
|
other modes should be ok since they are basically the same as
|
|
|
|
|
the ones taken from idea and des :-). I have implemented them as
|
|
|
|
|
little-endian operators.
|
|
|
|
|
While rc2 is included because it is used with SSL, I don't know how
|
|
|
|
|
far I trust it. It is about the same speed as IDEA and DES.
|
|
|
|
|
So if you are paranoid, used Tripple DES, else IDEA. If RC2
|
|
|
|
|
does get used more, perhaps more people will look for weaknesses in
|
|
|
|
|
it.
