CTCjava

Currently under development - Java/GUI

Mr. Tines writes: At the moment I is working on an all Java1.1 version/Swing 1.1 (codenamed Angerona) of the same functionality - since any non-Mac user of a prepared application will be needing to use Java, shedding the JNI part will be more convenient for everyone - indeed, since the interim Swing-ized version of the GUI of CTCjava I built ran into some JNI callback problems, I think it a necessity to remove the native code.

The Angerona source archive is meant mainly for the curious developer - there is a GUI framework, and a start of the OpenPGP code so far, but nothing functional (let alone rigorously tested) as yet - but it can now parse the packets from a key-ring, andr display their key-ID values and fingerprints.

I'm having a bit of a binge on other algorithms at the moment. Currently the following algorithms are believed working, passing standard test vectors as appropriate: Blowfish, DES, TripleDES, CAST5, IDEA, Square, 3-Way, MD5, SHA-1 and SHA-0, SAFER and TEA.

Java (for 32-bit windows)

This uses Java to provide the GUI layer (as a jar file), and calls through the Java Native Interface to the the cryptographic code written in 'C'. This is offered as a 32-bit Windows application extension file(.dll). The release components and signatures are available for download.

New features at CTCJava 1.0

• Printing now works, and so does cut and paste
• Iconising the main CTC window now hides all document editing windows; and restoring it restores them.
• The document editor has a "Send as SMTP..." option, and the main window File menu has a "Get POP3 mail..." option (these form a fairly bare-bones mailer). Except for mail recipients and your POP3 password, the simple text entries are savable as preferences after a successful transmission or reciept.
• The application now uses the proposed JFA standard icons.
