Hugh Redelmeier (Pluto), Michael Richardson (technical lead, +KLIPS, testing, etc.), Henry Spencer (past technical lead, scripts, +libraries, packaging, etc.), Sandy Harris (documentation), Claudia +Schmeing (support, documentation), and Sam Sgro (support, releases). +Peter Onion has collaborated extensively with RGB on PFKEY2 stuff. The +original version of our IPComp code came from Svenning Soerensen, who has +also contributed various bug fixes and improvements. + +The first versions of KLIPS were done by John Ioannidis <ji@hol.gr>. The +first versions of Pluto (and further work on KLIPS) were done by Angelos +D. Keromytis <angelos@dsl.cis.upenn.edu>. + +The MD2 implementation is from RSA Data Security Inc., so this package must +include the following phrase: "RSA Data Security, Inc. MD2 Message Digest +Algorithm" It is not under the GPL; see details in programs/pluto/md2.c. + +The MD5 implementation is from RSA Data Security Inc., so this package must +include the following phrase: "derived from the RSA Data Security, Inc. +MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm". It is not under the GPL; see details in +linux/net/ipsec/ipsec_md5c.c. + +The PKCS#11 header files in programs/pluto/rsaref/ are from RSA Security Inc., +so they must include the following phrase: "RSA Security Inc. PKCS#11 +Cryptographic Token Interface (Cryptoki)". The headers are not under the GPL; +see details in programs/pluto/rsaref/pkcs11.h. + +The LIBDES library by Eric Young is used. It is not under the GPL -- see +details in libdes/COPYRIGHT -- although he has graciously waived the +advertising clause for FreeS/WAN use of LIBDES. + +The SHA-1 code is derived from Steve Reid's; it is public domain. + +Some bits of Linux code, notably drivers/net/new_tunnel.c and net/ipv4/ipip.c, +are used in heavily modified forms. + +The radix-tree code from 4.4BSD is used in a modified form. It is not +under the GPL; see details in klips/net/ipsec/radij.c. + +The lib/pfkeyv2.h header file contains public-domain material published in +RFC 2367. + +Delete SA code and Notification messages were contributed by Mathieu Lafon. +He also implemented the vital NAT traversal support. + +Peter Onion has been immensely helpful in finding portability bugs in +general, and in making FreeS/WAN work on the Alpha in particular. Rob +Hatfield likewise found and fixed some problems making it work on the +Netwinder. + +John S. Denker of AT&T Shannon Labs has found a number of bugs the hard +way, has pointed out various problems (some of which we have fixed!) in +using the software in production applications, and has suggested some +substantial improvements to the documentation. + +Marc Boucher <marc@mbsi.ca> did a quick-and-dirty port of KLIPS to the +Linux 2.2.x kernels, at a time when we needed it badly, and has helped +chase down 2.2.xx bugs and keep us current with 2.4.x development. + +John Gilmore organized the FreeS/WAN project and continues to direct it. +Hugh Daniel handles day-to-day management, customer interface, and both +constructive and destructive testing. See the project's web page +<http://www.freeswan.org> for other contributors to this project and +related ones. + +Herbert Xu ported the FreeS/WAN code to the native IPsec stack +of the Linux 2.6 kernel. + +Kai Martius added initial support of OpenPGP certificates. + +Andreas Steffen introduced the support of X.509 certificates in 2000 +and has been both maintaining the X.509 code and adding extensions +to it ever since. + +Andreas Hess, Patric Lichtsteiner, and Roger Wegmann implemented the +the initial X.509 certificate support, relying on Kai Martius's work. + +Marco Bertossa and Andreas Schleiss implemented the verification of +the X.509 chain from the peer certificate up to the root CA. + +Ueli Galizzi and Ariane Seiler did the original work on the support +of attribute certificates. + +Martin Berner and Lukas Suter implemented the definition of group +attributes and dynamic fetching of attribute certificates. + +Christoph Gysin and Simon Zwahlen implemented PKCS#15-based +smartcard suppport and contributed a fully operational OCSP client. + +David Buechi and Michael Meier implemented the PKCS#11 smartcard +interface. + +The support of port and protocol selectors was based on Stephen J. +Bevan's original work. + +Stephane Laroche donated the original LDAP and HTTP fetching code +based on pthreads. + +JuanJo Ciarlante introduced the modular support of alternative +encryption and authentication algorithms (AES, Serpent, twofish, etc). + +The ipsec starter is based on Mathieu Lafon's original work. + +Jan Hutter and Martin Willi developed the scepclient which fully +supports Cisco's Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP). + +This file is RCSID $Id: CREDITS,v 1.6 2006/01/22 21:28:27 as Exp $ |
