Shishi 0.0.15 alpha released

[Simon Josefsson]

Shishi is a (still incomplete) implementation of the Kerberos 5
network authentication system.  Shishi can be used to authenticate
users in distributed systems.

Shishi contains a library ('libshishi') that can be used by
application developers to add support for Kerberos 5.  Shishi contains
a command line utility ('shishi') that is used by users to acquire and
manage tickets (and more).  The server side, a Key Distribution
Center, is implemented by 'shishid', and support X.509 authenticated
TLS via GnuTLS.  Of course, a manual documenting usage aspects as well
as the programming API is included.

Shishi currently supports AS/TGS exchanges for acquiring tickets, the
AP exchange for performing client and server authentication, and
SAFE/PRIV for integrity/privacy protected application data exchanges.

Shishi is developed for the GNU/Linux system, but runs on over 20
platforms including most major Unix platforms and Windows, and many
kind of devices including iPAQ handhelds and S/390 mainframes.

Shishi is free software licensed under the GNU General Public License.

* Version 0.0.15 (released 2004-04-18)

** Sequence numbers in Authenticator and EncAPRepPart are now randomized.

** Low-level fixes of AES Cipher Text Stealing mode.
Also added more AES/CTS self tests.

** Configuration tokens spelled correctly ("verbose-noice" -> "verbose-noise").

** Polish translation added, by Jakub Bogusz.

** Various bugfixes and cleanups.

* Version 0.0.14 (released 2004-01-22)

AP-REQ.

** Various minor bugfixes.
