But on the other side, if such projects use DES or bigcrypt encryption, you should seriously consider to drop the usage of such software, because today this are really no serious and secure algorithm anymore. I also know several of such cases. I wouldn't add any of them today to openSUSE.
From my DatabaseOfDotSigQuotes:
An NSA-employed acquaintance, when asked whether the government can crack DES traffic, quipped that real systems are so insecure that they never need to bother. Unfortunately, there are no easy recipes for making a system secure, no substitute for careful design and critical, ongoing scrutiny. -- Matt Blaze in AC2 Reality is that the only justification for DES is that it is cheap and easy. Given that criteria there are other cheap and easy algorithms that are a lot stronger. -- Conservatism is the blind and fear-filled worship of dead radicals. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
