I am not disagreeing with provision of an user option. That is not what the current OOo-dev 3.4 does. That's not what the current build attempts to do. That's pretty damned unilateral, Rob. That is what I was referring to.
In a reply to Mathias, you mentioned certification of document cryptography. Does that require something more than declaring there is a way to use aes in an ODF Package encryption? Perhaps it is important to know what the certification requirements are? - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Rob Weir [mailto:robw...@apache.org] Sent: Saturday, September 17, 2011 09:58 To: ooo-dev@incubator.apache.org; dennis.hamil...@acm.org Subject: Re: AOOo can't save passwort protected file [ ... ] I'm not arguing that we don't support Blowfish at all. I'm saying that we should also allow saving with AES, as allowed by ODF, and as required by regulation for many users. Your use of the word "unilaterally" is rhetorical nonsense. As I said before, I favor having option for the user to select the encryption method to use. We should try not to 2nd guess our users' preferences and offer only lowest-common-denominator, one-size-fits-all solutions. We should try to provide configuration options for reasonable alternatives, especially where we know different user populations will have different preferences. [ ... ]
