Hi Colin,

Would you mind double-checking the link below?  I tried it out, but got a 'Not 
Found' error on my web browser.  It looks like Brian has deleted the /aes/ 
directory.

Thanks,
-Matt

I'm guilty as charged! Apologies to those not interested in finer points of LRW!

The best freely available, and fully-featured, GCM software implementation is 
from
Brian Gladman, http://fp.gladman.plus.com/aes/index.htm,
scroll down and look for link to zip file called modes.zip.

Just write a simple C program around this to print out some test vectors.

Colin.
