Obsolete standards

RFC 1991 – The old OpenPGP message format
https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1991.txt

On the 19th of August this year we have released version 1.1 of DidiSoft OraPGP – the OpenPGP cryptography package for Oracle (c) PL/SQL.

What’s new in version 1.1?

Version 1.1 provides custom exception handling strategy in PL/SQL, which was missing in the first version of the package.

There are also overloaded versions of the ORA_PGP.ENCRYPT and ORA_PGP.DECRYPT functions accepting OpenPGP keys as variables of type BLOB. This provides the possibility keys to be loaded from external files through BFILE file handles and directories available to the Oracle (c) Database server through the CREATE DIRECTORY PL/SQL statement.

Upgrade from version 1.0

In order to upgrade from version 1.0 to the current version 1.1, first unload the old version JAR files from the Oracle© database:

dropjava.sh/.bat -r -v – u user/pass [extraction folder]\SetupFiles\jce-jdk13-151.jar
dropjava.sh/.bat -r -v – u user/pass [extraction folder]\SetupFiles\bcpg-jdk13-151.jar
dropjava.sh/.bat -r -v – u user/pass [extraction folder]\SetupFiles\pgplib-2.7.0.jar
dropjava.sh/.bat -r -v – u user/pass [extraction folder]\SetupFiles\ora-pgp-1.0.0.jar

After the old JAR files are unloaded continue to Setup.

Note: Don’t forget to replace above user/password with the database username/schema and password used in the initial Setup.

As this year approaches toward its end we would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Our support staff will be offline for Christmas 25th of December and on 30, 31 of December and on the 1st of January 2015 and any emails on those dates will eventually be responded on the next working day.

Happy holidays!

The end of the year is approaching and probably some of us will take at least a day or two to take some rest and celebrate.

We at DidiSoft will be on vacation from 29th of December 2013 to the 2nd of January 2014. Support requests filed in this period will be reviewed on the 3rd of January 2014.

Thank you for using our products and we wish you a happy Christmas and also happy New Year 2014.

With a great delay and after all, finally we have our own twitter.com account:

Hi everyone,

Our support and sales departments will be on vacation at 31st of December 2012 and the 1st of January 2013.

Your emails will be answered on the 2nd of January 2013.

We wish you a happy and productive New Year 2013.

The OpenPGP standard is evolving. In the near future the OpenPGP standard will be expanded with Elliptic Curve cryptography also knows as ECC.

At the moment still as a draft is a new change proposal for extending the bucket of OpenPGP symmetric cipher algorithms with Elliptic Curve Diffie Hellman (ECDH) and Elliptic Curve Digital Signature algorithm (ECDSA) is being developed.

The author of the draft is Mr. Jivsov from Symantec. The ECDSA  algorithm packet will have value 19 and the ECDH packet will probably be (yet to be assigned) 18. The proposed named curves that will be used are NIST P-256, NIST P-384 and NIST P-521.

We will be looking forward this great change to become an official IETF standard.
