Mental Poker

Some months ago my project openSkat was renamed into SecureSkat. The development page is located at GNU/Savannah. Further, a general purpose library for secure card games (without the help of a trusted third party) was separated. It's called libTMCG and hosted on Savannah, too.

Today I released openSkat 1.6 -- it contains a security fix for a non-trivial bug in key exchange proofs. This very serious flaw is exploitable and leads to factorization of remote secret keys. Anyone using openSkat should consider an update.

Yesterday I released openSkat 1.5 -- please have a look at freshmeat.net.

News: It contains a module for secure multiparty computation based upon Anton Stiglic's paper 'Computations with a deck o cards'. Maybe I will use MPC for the fair ranking system of openSkat.

Today I released openSkat 1.4 -- please have a look at freshmeat.net.
