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 Dominic Steinitz
