Hi all,



the final beta of 1.51 is now up on



Main enhancements are:



- support for EC signing and encryption in the PGP API (RFC 6637).

- further performance enhancements to EC processing,

- optimisations and enhancements to Block Cipher streaming modes,

including "seekable" SIC/CTR.

- failures associated with messages over 4k in size with some AEAD modes

have been fixed.

- more complete handling of GCM mode in the provider (now returns

AlgorithmParameters/IV where possible).

- recently reported OSGI meta-data issues have been fixed in the jars.

- KDFCounterGenerator now full supports input data orderings in NIST

SP800-108

- client authentication support in TLS/DTLS API.

- SHA-1 and SHA-2 family digests now support dumping and re-initialising

of state as required for "sign with last round on device" signature

generation.



Note:

- there has been another round of deprecation clean up in this version.

You will most likely need to recompile before testing this release.

Apologies for the inconvenience.



Any questions/issues let us know.



Regards,



David

Just in case I don’t get around to raising a proper issue, there’s a problem with the SkippingCipher implementations when counter retreat roll back across (byte/long) boundaries - it’s comparing to MAX_VALUE instead of -1.
