Re: Project Still Active?
Not to discourage you, but there are several freely available servers. See: http://wiki.openid.net/w/page/12995226/Run%20your%20own%20identity%20server Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with a BSD "Ports" project. Unfortunate name, since we all know what a "port" is, but not "...

Re: using AESCrypt.java to work with strings
Peter, I didn't write the Java version of the code (though I did write the original C++ code). Assuming the Java code is producing that error for the same reason (which it likely is), it suggests that the HMAC is not being computed properly. What the HMAC is for is to verify that the message was not...

Re: Project Still Active?
I was the one who wrote the Packetizer OpenID Server, so I certainly appreciate the kind words! The project is "active" in the sense that I add stuff whenever I get time. I've certainly not abandoned the code, but since it has been stable and served my purpose, I haven't had to touch it in...

Re: Sha256 executable
We've been asked about including a verifiable hash before, but we do not do it because it provides a false sense of security. If you get AES Crypt directly from http://www.aescrypt.com, then you would be getting the genuine software. If we posted an SHA-1 or MD5 hash of the file, it might make you f...

Re: Mac GUI crashes on startup
Sorry for the delay. We have new Mac packages available at www.aescrypt.com. Hopefully, these will work appropriately for the x86 and PPC machines.

Re: H.323 vs. SIP
Jim, I think the answer to the question is actually fairly simple: because that is what the major service providers are offering. Given the rise in mobile phones, that's where carriers are looking to make the bulk of their revenue. They are also of the mind that people using those mobile phones will...

Re: Secure Password Generator
As you requested, I created C code to do the same thing. It will work on Linux or Windows. I took the Perl script, C code, 32-bit Linux binary, and 32-bit Windows binary and put it into a ZIP file that can be downloaded from the pwgen page.

Re: Secure Password Generator
The second argument is only used by the function that generates passwords. I didn't write the command-line tool to accept a second argument. If you want to always generate special characters, then change this: print GeneratePassword($password_length,0) . "\n"; to this: print GeneratePasswo...

Re: Secure Password Generator
The function that generates the password strings will select characters at random. If the second argument is '1', it will use special characters. However, I do not and will not force the routine to generate a certain number of special characters. Doing so would mean the result is not entirely random...

Secure Password Generator
I have been asked many times about creating secure passwords. Passwords do not have to be significantly long to be secure. so, I put together this page that will generate useful and secure passwords for web sites and AES Crypt. https://secure.packetizer.com/pwgen/ I would welcome any comments, espec...
