Package: wnpp Owner: James Cowgill <james410@cowgill.org.uk> Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-CC: debian-devel@lists.debian.org * Package name : mbedtls Version : 2.1.2 Upstream Author : ARM Limited * URL : http://tls.mbed.org/ * License : Apache-2.0 or GPL-2+ Programming Lang: C Description : lightweight crypto and SSL/TLS library mbed TLS (formerly known as PolarSSL) is a lean open source crypto library for providing SSL and TLS support in your programs. It offers an intuitive API and documented header files, so you can actually understand what the code does. It features: - Symmetric algorithms, like AES, Blowfish, Triple-DES, DES, ARC4, Camellia and XTEA - Hash algorithms, like SHA-1, SHA-2, RIPEMD-160 and MD5 - Entropy pool and random generators, like CTR-DRBG and HMAC-DRBG - Public key algorithms, like RSA, Elliptic Curves, Diffie-Hellman, ECDSA and ECDH - TLS 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2 - Abstraction layers for ciphers, hashes, public key operations, platform abstraction and threading Around a year ago control of PolarSSL was passed to ARM and the project was later rebranded as mbed TLS. Version 2 made large changes to the API (including renaming all the functions, include paths, etc) so it makes sense to me to create an entirely separate source package. Due to the number of API changes, even the -dev package does not conflict with libpolarssl-dev.
