Hi Guys:
I'm an smalltalker from Argentina. I works mainly with Dolphin and Squeak and I'm in the security software development field. (Currently I'm developing a product focused in securing personal data).
Cryptography is the core technology of my actual software development work, then I'm here to learn and help as far I can. My actual free time isn't too much, but I will try my best.
Best Regards.

Germán,
Wonderful! Thank you for joining the team. I've added you to the repositories. We will be going trough what's going on as a summary soon and discussing responsibilities. In the mean time we are working on understanding ASN.1, doing a comparison of Cincom and Rob's code, currently we are trying to organize the repositories.
Also see the wiki page on the base repository on squeakSource.
Thanks again for joining up.
Ron

Hi Ron:
Glad to be here.
As I've mentioned before I've a very limited free time, but don't wants not try at least.
I will read the wiki pages and the another mails.
I want to ask, what is the objective or final target with ASN.1?
Cheers and Thanks by your welcome.

Germán,
The ASN.1 is a precursor to x.509v3. Also I must confess that while reading http://www.oss.com/asn1/dubuisson.html (you can down load it free but have to register) I'm beginning to believe that there are some other pretty good benefits to using ASN.1 for efficient communication between systems. It also seems to be a platform for other types of communication so like VOIP. Maybe once we get it stable we can hand it over to the network group and then move on to the PKI stuff.
Have you worked with ASN.1? Have you been able to get set up with our code and can you review Rob's stuff? Let me know if you need any help.
Ron

Not, this is the first time that I hear about ASN.1. And yet I've not seem any code.
and can you review Rob's stuff? Let me know if you need any help.
What are the Rob's stuff to review? Is stated in previous mails? If so, let me read all to search.
About my experience in cryptography field, is very focused, mainly dealing with stuffs to crypt-decrypt data and files and generating hashes and so.
Cheers. gsa.
See www.squeakSource.com in the cryptography base repository for the code.

Yes, I've downloaded all the stuff (I was examining it in the past, the original package).
Thanks.

That's not how I remember it. Note: this is all from some serious crypto code hacking in the VW crypto library a few years ago, when I had to make Netscape 4.5 browsers believe that our appserver was a valid SSL server with valid certificates and stuff, with some smartcard authentication threwn in for good measure :)
As far as I remember, x.509v3 is a data structure that uses the ASN.1 for its default external representation.
And ASN.1 is a horrible piece of design-by-committee excrement, apparently extremely hard to write a good clean OO parser for - at least, that's why I think that a loaded VW image typically ends up with 2 or 3 ASN.1 implementations (one for certificates, I think there's another one for SSL handshaking, and I'm getting old but I recall vaguely that I stumbled over a third one). I don't know why but I tried my hands at a parser once, and horribly failed :)
Actually with the stuff coming out for our current release it will be one, *Uno* asn1 implementation.
What happened is I hacked what I needed together for x509 first round another engineer took another approach and then Len decided to take a different and better approach to the ASN1 implementation. It is faster and more flexible and will deal nicely with what we have to deal with. The crypto code has changed quite a bit. Api's are better and we attacked the ASN1 problem so we can move x509 forward. Our latest code and builds I will send a link Monday or Tuesday to our current so people can have the latest and greatest and take a look through it.
Yes asn1 is hard to wrap around and the reason we had so many was time to market. Implement what we needed to get it out and then do the rest later and tell people hey this will change. So the other implementations are gone and things for 7.4 will be on one asn1 implementation that works.
