A sketch by Myshu that was originally meant to be a meme (I guess I can attach that version, too) but then I did what I always do and went overboard with a silly background!

My efforts of adding support for #OpenPGP in version 6 to #BouncyCastle are progressing nicely :)

The section "Guidance for Implementers" of the latest draft revision is especially useful to keep track :D

https://github.com/bcgit/bc-java/issues/1421

Inspired by anecdotal evidence, I proposed a patch to #BouncyCastle, switching on integrity protection of messages by default.

(Generating messages without integrity protection is discouraged since ~2007, so it is about time to match that expectation :D)

https://github.com/bcgit/bc-java/pull/1406

I'm working on modernizing #OpenPGP support in #BouncyCastle by adding support for new packet formats for the upcoming #OpenPgpV6.

This patch adds support for symmetric encryption using AEAD:
https://github.com/bcgit/bc-java/pull/1346

Have spent most of the day recreating a cryptographic wrapper for #BouncyCastle, similar to the one i got for #NET6 native cryptography,

Fortunately i had done some work earlier (RSA, Signing, AES stuff) and put that code in a private repo on Github that i just copy-pasted from.

Also throwing in testcases and some conversion functions that i already have written. Gonna be grrrrrreat!

Do anyone know how to export an ECPublicKeyParameters object and more importantly IMPORT a #ECDH Pubkey back in to a ECPublicKeyParameters object, in any way from #Bouncycastle?

I've successfully exported pubkeys to Bigints, Byte arrays/Base64 and some weird Pubkeydata string that begins with #0300(...), but i've not seen a way to import it back in to a ECPublicKeyParameters object.

1. I've tried reading it back in through SubjectPublicKeyInfo(which gives some weird unspecific error)

2. Tried PublicKeyFactory.Create() but that only ends up as an AsymmetricKeyParameter which isn't helpful.

3. I've tried SubjectPublicKeyInfoFactory but that is only an information class for the public key that can't be passed back to the keypair object.

4. I've tried looking for properties to assign, like .Pubkey and .Q but all of them are readonly and the ones that isn't implicitly readonly are unilateral and can't be assigned anything.

5. I've been thinking of tearing my hair off, but i don't have that much left so - bad idea

There is no intellsense popping up in Visual Studio (just shows the function name and parameter types) and i haven't found much documentation (as in close to none) on #ECDH for #BouncyCastle and the code samples i found on stack etc are for ancient versions of BC and does not apply - or even answer this question.

First time i looked at mathematics and uttered the words: "FUCK YEAH!" #BouncyCastle #DiffieHelman #Cryptography

So, when both Microsoft and Linux platforms have ECDH implementations that are incompatible with each other in .NET6, there are always 3rd party libraries that can come to the rescue: The latest core release of BouncyCastle 1.9.0 now supports both .NET Core and .NET Framework.

And it have better support for more modern cryptographic primitives as well, here is Bouncycastle's SHA3 (Keccak) implementation running on my Ubuntu test VM: #Happiness #Joy #BouncyCastle

BouncyCastle 2.0 is out, and it finally targets .NET Standard !

"This release is dedicated to Claire Novotny, who has been keeping the project alive for the past several years in the form of the Portable.BouncyCastle NuGet package. "

Turns out the Java FIPS module BC-FJA 1.0.2.3 does not work well with Java 13 or later (yes that means Java 17). Using BC-FJA 1.0.2.3 with its tested JVMs is still okay. If you want to use a FIPS style solution with Java 17 go to https://www.bouncycastle.org/latest_releases.html... and grab a copy of the jar there. More details to follow.

C# .NET 2.0.0 release now available.
This release includes the NIST PQC finalists, round 4 candidates, and a selection of the other round 3 candidates. It is now also available as an official NuGet archive. Several bug fixes and other improvements have also been applied.

Some more improvements to the #OpenPGP part of the #Bouncycastle crypto library were merged recently!

Among the changes for the next release are support for Argon2 S2Ks, support for parsing keys of unknown versions/algorithms (forwards compatibility), some performance improvements as well as fixes for compliance to the standard :)

Free Software is fun!

To be clear, maybe they (#PrimeKey) didn't deliver the FOSS encryption solutions, but a #Melbourne, #Australia-based #charity known as #BouncyCastle seem to also operate as a business called #CryptoWorkshop, which is part of the above #merger…

…they do.

They mention being a part of the merger here:
