Thank you!

Files that are more than 15 lines long are copyrightable (non-trivial).

Well, I said "files like...", this includes Doxify and PATENTS.

Approving.

All copyrightable files should have copyright and license notices; your templates for man (?) pages like dkg-decrypt.1.in lack them (for examples, you could check man pages for gcc, gawk or less).

This applies to files like ChangeLog and NEWS. Without such notices, any verbatim redistributors of your tarballs (including Savannah mirror maintainers and perhaps even Savannah itself) technically become copyright violators.

Could you fix that?

Registration Details


  • Name: Distributed Privacy Guard
  • System Name:  dkgpg
  • Type: non-GNU software and documentation
  • License: GNU General Public License v2 or later





Description:

The Distributed Privacy Guard (dkgpg) implements distributed key generation and threshold cryptography for ElGamal and DSA in a OpenPGP-compatible (RFC 4880) way, i.e., encryption and signature verification can be done with other OpenPGP sofware. The secret keys are shared/distributed among different devices resp. parties which improves e.g. side-channel attack resistance.

Currently the sources of the corresponding programs are included in LibTMCG (https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/libtmcg), however, the main focus of this library is on a different topic (secure distributed card games) and thus I would like to create a distinct project.


Other Software Required:

LibTMCG, GNU GPLv2, https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/libtmcg
Libgcrypt, GNU LGPLv2.1, https://gnupg.org/software/libgcrypt/index.html
GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library, GNU GPLv2, https://gmplib.org/
GNUnet, GNU GPL, https://gnunet.org/
