I ripped out a big chunk of the code in pgsql/contrib/pgcrypto and turned it into libfortuna. My first tests are positive, seems to work. I'm building on FreeBSD, but should work on other BSD/Unix systems. Maybe GNU/Linux, not sure, I tend to only build other people's projects on Linux. At the moment my test program dumps out 1024 fortuna-generated random numbers. But there's a whole swiss army knife of encryption related routines in pgcrypto, so it looks to be great fun to tinker with and expand the library, import the rest of the pgcrypto code base. I'm just getting started experimenting. Perhaps irrelevant, yet it seems like there's a good interest in encryption in this group, so I thought I'd share. The library code is at: https://github.com/waitman/libfortuna testing 123 programs at: https://github.com/waitman/fortuna-tests It's mostly unmodified PG code, replacing the PG memory management routines with 'native' jemalloc/malloc_np.h. When it seems sane I'll submit a FreeBSD port. Have fun, -- Waitman Gobble San Jose California USA +1.5108307875 -- Too many emails?
