Gnupg announce - Jun 1999 - RSAREF for GnuPG

Hi,

just want to tell you that Jason Gunthorpe wrote a GnuPG module
which uses RSAREF to implement RSA.  The source is now available in
the contrib directory of the GnuPG FTP servers (but not the RSAREF library).

You have to check yourself whether the use of this module is in
compliance with RSA Inc. patents (which are still valid for about 14
months). 

The original source is at:

    http://non-us.debian.org/~jgg/rsaref.c

And RSAREF is available here:

   
ftp://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US/dists/stable/non-US/source/rsaref_19930105.orig.tar.gz

I found that I had to move the inclusion of rsaref.h to be before the
inclusion of rsa.h.  I reported that to Jason but he hasn't made the change
yet.

That is the original RSAREF (slightly modified for PGP 2.6.2).  RSAREF 2.0
has a more liberal license for use for non-revenue generating purposes by
corporations and is available at

    ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/crypt/cryptography/asymmetric/rsa/rsaref2.tar.gz

I have successfully used Jason's extension with GnuPG 0.9.7 and RSAREF 2.0.
