|
|
* We have secure memeory on systems which support mlock().
|
|
|
|
|
It is not complete yet, because we do not have signal handler
|
|
|
|
|
which does a cleanup in very case.
|
|
|
|
|
We should also check the ulimit for the user in the case
|
|
|
|
|
that the admin does not have set a limit on locked pages.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* started with internationalization support.

|
|
* The logic to handle the web of trust is now implemented. It is
|
|
|
|
|
has some bugs; but I'm going to change the algorithm anyway.
|
|
|
|
|
It works by calculating the trustlevel on the fly. It may ask
|
|
|
|
|
you to provide trust parameters if the calculated trust probability
|
|
|
|
|
is too low. I will write a paper which discusses this new approach.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* a couple of changes to the configure script.
|
|

|
|
|
* New option "--quick-random" which uses a much quicker random
|
|
|
|
|
number generator. Keys generated while this option is in effect
|
|
|
|
|
are flags with "INSECURE!" in the user-id. This is a development
|
|
|
|
|
only option.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Read support for new version packets (OpenPGP).
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
* Comment packets are now of correct OpenPGP type 16. Old comment
|
|
|
|
|
packets written by G10 are detected because they always start with
|
1998-01-16 21:15:24 +00:00
|
|
|
a hash which is an invalid version byte.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
* The string "(INSECURE!)" is appended to a new user-id if this
|
|
|
|
|
is generated on a system without a good random number generator.
