ANNOUNCE: Cryptographic Library for Haskell

23 Jun 2003

      I would like to annouce the first release of the Haskell Cryptographic
Library (0.2.0). See http://www.haskell.org/crypto/ReadMe.html for more
details.

This library collects together existing Haskell cryptographic functions and
augments them so that they:

·        Have common type signatures.
·        Can be used with the standard mode and padding algorithms (in the
case of block mode ciphers).

This very initial release contains:

·        DES
·        Blowfish
·        Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) mode
·        PKCS#5 and nulls padding
