  • Summer of Code: Checkstyle to the rescue!

    Today I added some checkstyle rules to PGPainless.Checkstyle is a gradle plugin, which checks the source code for style violations. Some say, strict checkstyle rules are unnecessary and that it is annoying to be held back from pushing a commit to the master branch only to fix “style issues” for half an hour. I must…

  • Summer of Code: The demotivating week

    I guess in anybodies project, there is one week that stands out from the others by being way less productive than the rest. I just had that week. I had to take one day off on Friday due to circulation problems after a visit at the doctor (syringes suck!), so I had the joy of…

  • Summer of Code: Evaluation and Key Lengths

    The week of the first evaluation phase is here. This is the fourth week of GSoC – wow, time flew by quite fast this year πŸ™‚ This week I plan to switch my OX implementation over to PGPainless in order to have a working prototype which can differentiate between sign, crypt and signcrypt elements. This…

  • Summer of Code: PGPainless 2.0

    In previous posts, I mentioned that I forked Bouncy-GPG to create PGPainless, which will be my simple to use OX/OpenPGP API. I have some news regarding that, since I made a radical decision. I’m not going to fork Bouncy-GPG anymore, but instead write my own OpenPGP library based on BouncyCastle. The new PGPainless will be…

  • Summer of Code: Command Line OX Client!

    As I stated earlier, I am working on a small XMPP command line test client, which is capable of sending and receiving OpenPGP encrypted messages. I just published a first version πŸ™‚ Creating command line clients with Smack is super easy. You basically just create a connection, instantiate the manager classes of features you want…

  • Summer of Code: Polishing the API

    The third week of coding is nearing its end and I’m quite happy with how my project turned out so far. The last two days I was ill, so I haven’t got anything done during that period, but since I started my work ahead of time during the boding period, I think I can compensate…

  • Summer of Code: Advancing the prototype

    It has been a week since my last blog post, so it is time for an update. I successfully tested my OX client against an experimental Gajim plugin written by Philip HΓΆrist. Big thanks for his help during the testing πŸ™‚ My implementation can now backup the users secret key in a private PubSub node,…

  • Summer of Code: Bug found!

    BouncyCastle The mystery has been solved! I finally found out, why the OpenPGP keys I generated for my project had a broken format. Turns out, there was a bug in BouncyCastle. Big thanks to Heiko Stamer, who quickly identified the issue in the bug report I created for pgpdump, as well as Kazu Yamamoto and…

  • Summer of Code: Quick Update

    I noticed that my blog posting frequency is substantially higher than last year. For that reason I’ll try to keep this post shorter. Yesterday I implemented my first prototype code to encrypt and decrypt XEP-0374 messages! It can process incoming PubkeyElements (the published OpenPGP keys of other users) and create SigncryptElements which contain a signed…
