Boulder, CO (PRWEB) June 7, 2007 -- The FreeBSD Project has integrated support for the Camellia Block Cipher, developed by Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT) and Mitsubishi Electric Corporation. Camellia has been specified for use with IPsec, SSL/TLS, S/MIME, and XML.
The Camellia Block Cipher is a new encryption algorithm which was developed by NTT and has been specified in several Internet RFCs as well as being one of the approved encryption methods to be used by the European Union.
Developers on the FreeBSD project worked with researchers from NTT to integrate their code, under a BSD license, into the CURRENT branch of FreeBSD, which will become the 7.0 release in the near future.
"The FreeBSD community will be able to interoperate with systems using the cipher in network protocols, such as IPsec, as well as having the cipher available when building products for use in Europe, a large IT market," said FreeBSD developer George V. Neville-Neil.
