RandomPool used to be a PGP-style deterministic generator and folks used it as a key generation function. At Crypto++ 5.5 the design changed to harden it agianst rollback attacks. The design change resulted in an upgrade barrier. That is, some folks are stuck at Crypto++ 4.2 or Crypto++ 5.2 because they must interoperate with existing software.
Below is the test program we used for the test vector. It was run against Crypto++ 5.4.
RandomPool prng;
SecByteBlock seed(0x00, 384), result(64);
prng.Put(seed, seed.size());
prng.GenerateBlock(result, result.size());
HexEncoder encoder(new FileSink(std::cout));
std::cout << "RandomPool: ";
encoder.Put(result, sizeof(result));
std::cout << std::endl;
- added AuthenticatedSymmetricCipher interface class and Filter wrappers
- added CCM, GCM (with SSE2 assembly), CMAC, and SEED
- improved AES speed on x86 and x64
- removed WORD64_AVAILABLE; compiler 64-bit int support is now required
