Version: 1.1 Autor: talis ( talis@millcomm.com ) Developer/Plugin Website: ?? Download for: Not Avaliable. We are looking for an external host in a non-restricted country. If you could aid, mail me at: j_aroche AT users DOT sourceforge DOT net BLOWFISH BOXP PLUGIN Author: talis Ported to BOXP by: Javier Aroche (j_aroche AT users DOT sourceforge DOT net) contact: talis@millcomm.com What: a 16 round full stength blowfish algorithm plugin for the boxp windows network based administration tool. Why: Blowfish is a fast,(relatively) secure public encryption algorithm published by Bruce Schneier, of Counterpane systems(go to http://www.counterpane.com - it's a great site for people interested in crypto). It has received signifigant perusal by the crypto community (including various cryptanalysis attack contests)and is generally regarded as a secure algorithm. It is a 64bit block cipher and it supports keylength sizes from 32 bits up to 448bits. It is also unpatented. Counterpane claims (i haven't done benchmarking, but i'd assume they have) that Blowfish is signifigantly faster than IDEA or DES. As for why the boxp plugin? i support the idea of a free, secure, availible administration tool for the windows operating system. I hope that this grows the availible knowledge for the next time someone wants to write a plugin. I want boxp to be a great free replacement for some of the commercial tools i'm forced to use. I want it to run everywhere, to be able to control everything. How: The blowfish plugin uses symetric keys, so what you need to do is load the plugin on the server, add the key, then load it up in the client, and add the same key there. this will allow encrypted communications between client and host using blowfish. Thanks: Dildog - giving away a fantastic product and source Maw~ - giving away IDEA plugin source CDC crew - demonstrating how all software should be released |
