Hi all,

I was wondering if anybody has written a free AES in D ? (I'm coding a Soulseek server and I'd like to add the possibility to encrypt client<->server communication, there may be better solutions than AES, it's just the only one I have been thinking of).

I've seen posts talking about crypto in Deimos, but it looks like it only has hash algorithms for now... and looking at rijndael makes my head hurt.

Thanks.

I haven't seen one, no. D's community is pretty small and every C/C++ programmer I talk to is very closed minded to this "D" language. I even had people say that D must've been my grade in computer science, lol. Theres probably an RFC for AES though, and wouldn't be too difficult to write it. I'll see if I can at least dig up a few docs on AES.

Finding docs on AES isn't too difficult, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AES has a few interesting links, the rijndael homepage too (don't remember the url, it's probably in wikipedia's links)... the problem is understanding them, hehe. I tried to do something but I gave up rather quickly, I just don't understand what I would have to do and/or how to do it :/

It isn't *that* important for me anyway, but I believe that an std.crypto module would be a good thing for phobos, for example.

(I just noticed that my first post is missing an "implementation" in the
first sentence, btw)
