No, I didn't mean to use libgcrypt directly, I just suggested reuse part of libgcrypt code(only the common digest algorithm) and make wrapper, then put the C code in libguile. > So, instead, I’d suggest choosing the best of the 10 gcrypt FFI bindings > already mentioned ;-), and putting it in the guildhall. > > If you want to go further, you (or its authors) could submit it for > inclusion in libgcrypt proper. > The gcrypt-guile project is doing so, I'll help it if I can. But my original thought is orthogonal with gcrypt-guile, just put some common digest algorithm in libguile rather than a full-stack crypto-lib. My suggest opposed by many guys, since they don't think md5/sha are very common things. ;-) But I'm dealing with server & web framework development, so I need digest so much, and maybe it's no so common. I'll let this topic alone, till others found they have same requirements, or just forget about it. ;-D > Thanks, > Ludo’. > >
