Cryptography

Posted by Robert G Laurin on February 19, 2020 at 12:43:43:

Found that under less than ideal situation, Cryptography can crash Comet.

Here's what happens...

When CryptoSetKeyInfo( ) is executed AND did not return a +OK, trying to ENCRYPT( ) anything will cause the whole Comet to crash. Windows error window!

I think, the ENCRYPT function shouldn't crash Comet but rather generate an EXCP or crash the current session only.

---------------------- ALSO -----------------------

Are there any plans to introduce more recent and secure Cryptography algorithms ?

Current hash function MD5 and SHA1 are both depreciated (broken). SHA2 and SHA3 are good replacements.

Current AES function supports only mode AES-256-CBC. Is it possible to get the mode AES-256-ECB (no Init_Vector)?
