[Fwd: MQV Support in BC Provider]

[Gurmeen Bindra]

Hello,

Does Bouncy castle Provider support MQV ?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MQV

If yes, are there any examples for using it ?

Thanks,
Gurmeen

Hi Gurmeen,

I've committed an initial implementation of MQV to CVS. It will be
available in the next beta build that we release (due in the next couple
of days).

For examples of usage, you will need to consult the test code:

Lightweight tests:
    org.bouncycastle.crypto.test.ECTest.testECMQV*

Provider tests:
    org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.test.MQVTest

We are intending to add support soon for use of MQV key agreement in
CMS, per RFC 3278. Depending on your needs, this may prove a simpler
option than working directly with the key agreement APIs.

Cheers,
Pete.

Further on this, the new beta is now up.

You want 145b05 or later.

Hi Peter,

Thanks a lot for implementing the MQV support in the Provider.
I saw that David has updated the Beta with MQV related classes.
Thanks for that David.
Is it possible for me to have a look the source and test classes of the
beta ?


Thanks,
Gurmeen

Please see the section headed "CVS Access" at
http://www.bouncycastle.org/latest_releases.html (almost at the end of
the page).
