new algorithm identifier of the symmetric cryptosystem.

1997-12-02 21:38:47

I'd like to know who is control the algorithm identifier of the
symmetric cryptosystem.

I hacked GOST and BLOWFISH into PGP but still buggy. The algorithm
identifier of GOST as FOUR(#4) and BLOWFISH as FIVE(#5) were assigned
for my hacked PGP. You may get patch file for pgp50i-b8 from

        URL://www.pp.iij4u.or.jp/~h2np/pgp

        Note: 
        THIS IS NOT FOR ANY OFFICIAL OR UNOFFICAL VERSION OF PGP.
        IT'S A KIND OF JOKE. DON'T BE A SERIOUS.

If the algorithm identifiers which I assigned make a trouble, I remove
my patch file.

HAPPY HACKING!

.....
The algorithm identifier of the symmetric cryptosystem is zero for
unencrypted (should only occur in not pagable memory), one for IDEA, two
for 3DES-EDE, or three for CAST5.
