Re: [boost] Try-out Adler-32 code?
Hi Daryle, I tried publishing an MD5 algorithm inside one of my programs as a debian package, but there where problems with the licensing. Please take care that the implementation is fully licensed and you mention the right parties everywhere. I'm not sure how you should go about this, but these are just my 2 cents ;) Bram On Mon, 2008-09-01 at 16:03 -0400, Daryle Walker wrote:
I added Adler-32 code to the MD5 trial library at <http:// svn.boost.org/trac/boost/browser/sandbox/md5>, if anyone would like to try it out and comment.

I didn't take the implementation from any of the MD5 sources lying around, I did a "clean room" build from the RFC's description. (They're all byte-wise, while mine is bit-wise [the only one, AFAIK].) I did use the RFC's sample code to get the values of the various constants. Do I need to have some sort of licensing with the RFC board; aren't they free for all?

libtomcrypt has good public domain implementations for a ton of hash algos - might be something to check out. -- Cory Nelson
