I would certainly be happy with an ocaml implementation, but am not sure that I'd trust myself to code one up, not having implemented any low-level crypto algorithms before. If https://github.com/mirleft/ocaml-nocrypto/issues/71 happened I'd probably be pleased :) Cheers, - Tim. _______________________________________________ MirageOS-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xenproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mirageos-devel
