There is at least one more on the chopping block. I'll decide on that one soon, so stay tuned. :}

Thanks,

• Switching to the latest and greatest Cryptographic Service Provider (CSP)
  • Microsoft Enhanced RSA and AES Cryptographic Provider
  • Valid for Windows XP and later
• Adding the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) symmetric cipher to the fold
• Restricting symmetric encryption ciphers and key strengths to those allowed by FIPS 140-2 (and FIPS 140-3)
  • See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIPS_140-2
  • Allowed ciphers include triple DES and AES with a minimum key length of 128 bits
  • Disabling selection of RC4, RC2, DES, 2-key 3DES
• Allowing user selection of RSA key size from 1024 to 16384 bits in 256 bit steps
  • I suggest you take the default RSA key size of 3072 bits
  • FIPS 140-3 will require at least 3072 bits (to set a minimum cryptographic strength of 128 bits overall) but the program will let you choose keys down to 1024 bits at this time
• Consolidation of User and Key interface elements to simplify configuration

This version is 32-bit only and tested on:

• Windows 7 Professional x64
• Windows Vista Business x86
• Windows XP SP3 x86

Cheers!

Oh, and an update to the Secure Parcel Delivery program is on the way.

Cheers!

MyCryptInfo -> version 1.4

The tool is expanded to detect more block cipher modes of operation. That is, the algorithms employed to make a block cipher encrypt a chunk of data bigger than the native block size. I noticed that some new modes had been added in the Microsoft header files since last I looked. Although these modes don't seem to be available with the Microsoft native Cryptographic Service Providers (CSPs), they must be available in some third party CSPs. The modes added are:

• CBCI - ANSI CBC Interleaved
• CFBP - ANSI CFB Pipelined
• OFBP - ANSI OFB Pipelined
• CBCOFM - ANSI CBC + OF Masking
• CBCOFMI - ANSI CBC + OFM Interleaved

MyNetwork -> version 1.3

Fixed a bug in the formatting of the lease times for interfaces with DHCP enabled. This turned out to be a 32-bit to 64-bit portability issue on windows.

MTFileTransfer -> version 1.3

Fixed the same bug in the formatting of the lease times for interfaces with DHCP enabled.

These are all plain source code files, not executables, and I'm making them available under the Mozilla trifecta license.

Cheers!

Otherwise the tool hasn't needed to change much.

Have fun, and don't delete any cryptographic containers that you really need!

Oh, I also moved some user interface bits around. The "Company" and "Product" fields have been merged into a single base path and the edit field was made a bit longer. Why? Well, so that it is easier for you to make the path what you want it to be rather than trying to follow my personal registry versioning process.

Enjoy!

• My Network
• Multithreaded File Transfer
• UPnP NAT Router Configurator

I'm still working on the IP Packet Sniffer and IP Packet Filter Configurator tools. The Windows OS has had enough changes that their usefulness is in question -- I need to evaluate that. I have hope that I can work out just how munged raw sockets have become.

I'm still working, so come back later. ;)

If you have tried to use any of the software tools under the Tools and Software section on anything later than Windows XP, I apologize. They were last looked at some years ago and there has been some incredible bit rot. Some work on Windows 7 and Vista, and others don't. The raw sockets and packet level tools need the most care and attention, it seems.

Well, perhaps it is fairer to say that Microsoft operating system API's and configurations have seen some drift over the past years and that I was not keeping up. :| Darn me for wanting some free time!

In any case, I'm in the process of picking out the rotten bits, patching, fixing, and generally rehabilitating those thngs. Don't be surprised if I just retire one or two [raw sockets are so passé when we can use (Win)PCap ].

Stay tuned!
