./security/libgfshare, Library to implement Shamirs secret sharing scheme

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 1.0.5, Package name: libgfshare-1.0.5, Maintainer: agc

In simple terms, this package provides a library for implementing the
sharing of secrets and two tools for simple use-cases of the
algorithm. The library implements what is known as Shamir's method
for secret sharing in the Galois Field 2^8. In slightly simpler words,
this is N-of-M secret-sharing byte-by-byte. Essentially this allows
us to split a secret S into any M shares S1..SM such that any N of
those shares can be used to reconstruct S but any less than N shares
yields no information whatsoever.

Log message:
*: Re-apply SunOS linker argument removals.

These are currently duplicated in mk/platform/SunOS.mk but the generic
removals will be removed soon in favour of per-package removals, due to
flags getting leaked into installed files.

Log message:
*: remove pkg-config from tools where no buildlink3.mk file is included

Bulk build on NetBSD of these packages had the same result as before
(build succeeds, no PLIST change).

Add SHA512 digests for distfiles for security category

Problems found locating distfiles:

Otherwise, existing SHA1 digests verified and found to be the same on
the machine holding the existing distfiles (morden).  All existing
SHA1 digests retained for now as an audit trail.
