+ | ====== Next version ====== | ||
+ | The GostCrypt team is close to release a new version of the software with some features : | ||
+ | |||
+ | - **Grasshopper algorithm**. For the moment, the implementation is still quite slow, we will try to increase the speed as soon as possible. | ||
+ | - **Minor bugs corrections**. Mainly on the MacOSX version, some windows could not be closed when "Cancel" is clicked on. | ||
+ | - **Package distributions**. We prepared some packages installer for Linux (.rpm and .deb). | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | === But there is something more important ! === | ||
+ | We found a bug in our implementation of the XTS encryption mode for an 8-byte block. The modulus of the polynomial we used was the same as the 16-byte block version. While it absolutely does not affect the security (except if you encrypt a file of size greater that 2<sup>64</sup> bytes), we have decided to modify the source code in order to follow the cryptographic rules. As a consequence, the primitive polynomial is not the same for the two versions. | ||
+ | |||
+ | __We are correcting this error__. | ||
+ | **Please be aware that this error is not source of cryptographic flaw**. But it implies a non-respect of the specifications. This modification wil not allow you to open a 1.0-version container with the next version. |
