\title{Haskell Cryptographic Library 4.2.0}
\author{Dominic Steinitz}

\begin{document}

\maketitle

The 
\htmladdnormallinkfoot
{Haskell Cryptographic Library 4.2.0}
{http://www.haskell.org/crypto}
collects together existing Haskell cryptographic
functions into one cabalized package, together with HUnit tests,
QuickCheck property tests and examples. It is a significant
change from previous versions and now only contains cryptographic
functions; the functions for dealing with ASN.1, X.509 certificates
and PKCS\#8 will be provided by an entirely separate library reducing
the number of dependencies.

This release contains:
\begin{itemize}
\item DES
\item Blowfish
\item AES
\item TEA
\item Cipher Block Chaining (CBC)
\item PKCS\#5 and nulls padding
\item SHA-1
\item MD5
\item RSA
\end{itemize}

Haddock documentation for the library is available
\htmladdnormallinkfoot
{here}
{http://www.haskell.org/crypto/doc/html}
.

\section{System Requirements}

\begin{itemize}
\item
The code has been tested on GHC 6.6 and Hugs Version September 2006.
It does not currently work with YHC because of the lack of {\tt Data.Word}
and {\tt Data.Bits}.
\item
It {\em no longer} requires the use of
{\tt NewBinary.Binary}.
\end{itemize}

\section{Installation Instructions}

Get the sources:

\lstset{language=shell,basicstyle=\ttfamily\small}
\begin{lstlisting}[frame=single]
darcs get --tag "4.2.0" http://code.haskell.org/crypto
\end{lstlisting}

Build and install ready for testing:

\begin{lstlisting}[frame=single]
ghc -o Setup Setup.hs -package Cabal
./Setup configure --prefix=/my/chosen/dir
./Setup build
./Setup install --user
\end{lstlisting}

Run the tests.

\begin{lstlisting}[frame=single]
cd /my/chosen/dir/bin
./RSATest
./SymmetricTest
./QuickTest
\end{lstlisting}

You can now run the examples to confirm further that everything
is working satisfactorily.
When you are happy, build and install them in
their final destination:

\begin{lstlisting}[frame=single]
./Setup unregister --user
./Setup clean
./Setup configure
./Setup build
./Setup install
\end{lstlisting}

\section{To Do}

In no particular order:

\begin{itemize}
\item
Incorporate other symmetric key algorithms already coded in Haskell.
\item
Performance analysis as Blowfish ought to run more quickly than DES.
\item
Other modes / padding schemes.
\item
Extend typechecking to ensure that only the appropriate key sizes are used
for a given algorithm.
\item
Improve performance, for example, for SHA1. This 
\htmladdnormallinkfoot
{code}
{http://www.abridgegame.org/repos/darcs-unstable}
runs an order of magnitude faster but, with respect to the authors, doesn't
feel that functional.
\item
Get rid of the GPL code.
\end{itemize}

\section{Contact}

updates / changes and suggestions should be directed to Dominic Steinitz and

\section{Disclaimer}
Cryptography is a notoriously easy area in which to make mistakes, 
not necessarily with the algorithms but with how they are implemented 
(for example not protecting keys, using weak keys and so on).
