Eric's Software

What I'm working on right now:

Historical and Open Source:

1. MTX -- a program to handle BIG tape libraries and optical juke boxes under Linux, FreeBSD, and others.
2. aescrypt and aes-rb -- the AES-award-winning Rijndael encryption algorithm.
3. twofish-py The TwoFish encryption algorithm, for Python: This is now officially unsupported. However, I recently released a few bug fixes.
4. Ocotillo! Ocotillo is used to provide /dev/urandom on platforms that don't have one. Ocotillo is a cryptographically secure pseudo-random-number source inspired by Bruce Schneier's Yarrow except for Unix. Note that if you are using FreeBSD or Linux, you already have a much better pseudo-random number generator as /dev/urandom.
5. And, for historical purposes: Enhanced Software Technology's BRU-Pro backup product. As project lead I architected the product and designed and implemented many of its major pieces, including the securely authenticated client-server protocols and servers (uses public key encryption), the storage management subsystem, and the Unix backup agent. I suspect this is the largest commercial Python project ever implemented (though not all of it is Python -- everywhere that is time or space constrained is implemented in "C"). I want to thank my team for doing a good job here. I certainly could not have done it alone. Too bad we couldn't finish what we started, but (shrug) so it goes. Thanks for working miracles, guys.
