digitalmars.D - Botan Crypto and TLS for D

I'd like to announce the first release of Botan, which implements all 
features of v1.11.10 in the C++ library.

I gave special attention to properly translating it to correct D code.

It only runs with DMD master for now, only tested on Linux x86 or 
x86_64, and it uses a custom allocator library called memutils which 
must be placed in ../

I'd also want to underline that Alexander Bothe from Mono-D put some 
special attention to making sure the IDE runs smoothely with Botan.

All tests are passing at the time of this writing (which is thousands of 
tests for all algorithms, incl x509, pubkeys, tls and so on).

I'll let the wiki/api docs/code talk for me, I'm off to writing an TLS 
driver for vibe.d now

Have fun!

Apart from the debugging experience, there's something empowering about having all the low-level stuff available in Mono-D when writing a website =) Other than that, it's also easier to customize (through inheritance). It also compiles faster 6-7 seconds (D) vs 70 seconds (C++). My favorite part is: vibe.d projects now compiles the entire software stack into a fully-featured standalone executable without any license issues. I'll be working on HTTP/2 with websocket-style full duplex communications once this is done, and then a CMS that has a windows explorer-like desktop front-end with a redis filesystem and distributed node management. So many nice projects :D

You're right it did sound like that. It was partly preference and partly a need for the circular buffer to solve futures and promises following this issue: https://github.com/etcimon/libasync/pull/11#issue-57401462 I'm going to remove the custom memory stuff and start moving the library into Phobos after I'm done debugging the linking issues for Botan on Windows.

It looks like this library (using Botan C++) could simply be translated to D code: https://github.com/cdesjardins/ne7ssh The only problem I see is that it's licensed QPL. However, the maintainer is missing and I think the library is simple enough to use it as a guideline/reference (along with other RFCs and libraries) and re-write an ssh library from scratch to get something new and original out of it and possibly use a more open license

One thing for sure, on this one the answer books are open. I'm glad I chose Botan. For HTTP/2 I'll probably use nghttp2, I was hesitating with the Go implementation.

Having another project, or two, wouldn't be a issue. I haven't submitted the proposal yet, and I don't think the Google folks will start looking at the idea's pages until early next week, so there is no issue as far as I see adding something as late as this weekend. Having said that I am really busy this week and have been having trouble finding the time simply to fill out the Melange form and submit the proposal, I will get it done, so no need to worry. However, if someone wants to add another idea to the ideas pages I am leaving that up to them! Please try to follow the exiting template as close as possible ... if someone ends up doing this.

Just wanted to chime in and say that I intended to take over development of ne7ssh, but after significant work I found that it had some serious problems that made it pretty useless as a general ssh client library. It was more geared toward automated testing (i.e. send a command to a remote host and wait for the response). As such I decided to use it as a rapid prototype for cppssh. Which I intend to use as a general purpose ssh2 client library. Anyways, the library still needs to be hardened, and I am not really going to start using it for anything until botan 1.11 goes stable. But it works fairly well so far, and it is gpl. https://github.com/cdesjardins/cppssh

Not really, most of the sensitive code is optimized via native instructions, the crypto algorithms should be all the same. If you count the seconds for the unit test to run, powermod (public key cryptography) was equal in debug mode. Didn't check release though, but debug was 11sec and GCC optimizes the C++ version to 3 seconds :-p The sensitive parts are AES-NI and GCM, where the processor does the encryption, and I handled with care those native instructions so that should be 600MB/s - 1GB/s regardless of the compiler As for the learning experience, I spent most of the time doing search & replace from C to D types and names, writing utils/simd instructions (__m128i __m256i xmmintrins.h etc), writing memutils (~= STL) because I needed proper containers and allocators to work with.

Sure, if you can somehow push this in DMD: http://forum.dlang.org/thread/m9lvn5$28cr$1 digitalmars.com The release build won't work without it, I get an ICE and I didn't have time to isolate this :/ I won't have an LDC/GDC version for a few months, this project is like a big unit test of failing cases for those compilers

building with debug symbols, and x64 doesn't work in release. For now I 
can build release/x86 only (although I get some unrelated bugs).

I'm not sure but it seems like a problem with DMD for which I could use 
some help :-p
