Re: Botan bindings

[Thomas Chust]

Hello,

the bindings include generic constructors for a high level hash function and symmetric cipher interface. You can specify any algorithm Botan supports in symbolic form.

I did not include bindings for the low-level ECB-only cipher interface (seems of limited use from a high-level language) nor for format-preserving encryption (difficult to formulate an efficient binding).

Ciao,

Thomas C.

Thanks!  I'll try to look into it and run some tests and speed comparisons in about  a week. (Lots of weddings right now, so it's unlikely i can do anything earlier than that.) Have you made bindings for all the hashes and block ciphers?
