I'll be posting TFM v0.02 in about a week. So far I've fixed up a few odds and ends. It auto detects x86-32 and x86-64, I've cleaned up the ISO macros [no if...
I'm heading out to Toorcon [http://www.toorcon.org] this year and giving a talk [which boils down to my views on cryptography in society]. I'd love to meet...
I've updated the website to make a TFM section. I've also made a second patchset for LTC [0.98]. Apply it on a fresh install to get all the b00ty yo. See...
http://libtomcrypt.org/tfm/ Fixed a bunch of stuff. Made it build smoother. Still no MSVC/Borland support in sight [nor do I really care to try]. I'm still...
I'm going to be incorporating a cipher hash construction in 0.99 of LTC. The system will take any cipher and produce a hash function which can be used by any...

I've found in aged personal message to Tom, the following "ask for feature" for LibTomMath. I feel it should be a nice improvement: I use inherited code that...

So I'm back in the GWN and wow what can I say that was one darn good experience. Some rough edges during the trip [like the drunk asshats at the afterparty]...
v0.99 is a short while off. Some new cool stuff to note - Merged in most recent LTM which includes the 64-bit fixes and non-reliance on calloc to set ints to...
As of today [Oct 7th, 2004] I no longer offer any form of commercial support. Sorry folks. Free ride is up. LibTom* are still public domain and you're free...
