Tried box64 on a Raspberry Pi 5 the other day and it worked above expectations. Except for a minor glitch with OGG audio, I got about 60 FPS in Xonotic (x86_64 emulated on AArch64).

For the record: The latest release of ezcrypt (v1.3.0) has poly1305 authentication. Thanks for the feedback!

Very interesting! Thanks for the link, I didn't know about it and I'll have to check it out. It still falls slightly outside of my zone of preference, though, as it's a .Net application, which limits which platforms it can be

"also known as a dependency" - There are different kinds of dependencies. The ones I'm usually concerned with are the ones that cause you headaches when you try to get the software working on an exotic platform ten years from

Thanks for having a look. The software implementation of AES is actually mostly a copy-paste of https://github.com/kokke/tiny-AES-c (see https://github.com/kokke/tiny-AES-c/blob/master&#x

If it's the AxCrypt I think it is, it doesn't even run on Linux, never mind Raspberry PI or Milk-V for instance. And it's not free either. So it doesn't meet many of my requirements, unfortunately.

Can you use PGP in the same way (I haven't tried)? Basically, symmetric file encryption based on a secret password and optionally a secret pepper file (effectively a secret key).

No, I realize that (I was thinking that ssh-keygen could be used as a poor-man's authentication for some use cases - basically share a secret between sender & receiver that can be used to ensure that the message has not been tamper

age is definitely more mature, and as you say, it should probably say somewhere that ezcrypt is still a hobby project (albeit a serious one). Some motives (some of which may sound strange, but mattered to me): * Completely public domain

That's pretty much spot on. Authentication is planned (and that should handle truncation too if I'm not mistaking): https://codeberg.org/ezcrypt/ezcrypt/issues/3

Very good point! I have been planning to look into authentication. I didn't need it for my use cases, yet, but as you say that should be an integral part of any serious tool. I added a ticket: https://codeberg.org/ezcry

This should be the top rated comment ;-) Sorry. I can't remedy the situation for you, though.

All good points. I intend to make it clearer: https://codeberg.org/ezcrypt/ezcrypt/issues/4

The idea isn't really to make the encryption stronger or to widen the key. It's a classical case of trust - if one cipher is compromised, there are others to cover for you. Also, I wanted to learn the different ciphers, and speed

In this case I think it's mostly about using different sub-carriers (kind of a "channel in the channel"), so that the data information and the audio are separated in frequency and do not disturb each other. That's genera

Is the Finnish bus stop timetable data channel well documented, though? Not sure, maybe it is?

I mean, she was pretty clear about why she found the signal, and that she read the RDS documentation in order to decode it, etc. I think the more fun part was towards the end, when she brute-forced decryption keys for traffic information co

Rather, I don't think the data channel was actually down-shifted, but that it wasn't filtered out (probably due to a broken analog filtering circuit after the fall), so it was still outside of the audible spectrum but available to

I actually find it a bit surprising that they have not used AES-NI until now, as it has been around for over a decade. In my experience it's about 2-6x faster than ChaCha20 (I use and benchmark both in < https://codeberg.o
