1 We haven't kept proper track of everybody who has helped us, alas, but
2 here's a first attempt at acknowledgements...
3
4 Most of the FreeS/WAN software has been done by Richard Guy Briggs
5 (KLIPS), D. Hugh Redelmeier (Pluto), Michael Richardson (technical lead,
6 KLIPS, testing, etc.), Henry Spencer (past technical lead, scripts,
7 libraries, packaging, etc.), Sandy Harris (documentation), Claudia
8 Schmeing (support, documentation), and Sam Sgro (support, releases).
9 Peter Onion has collaborated extensively with RGB on PFKEY2 stuff. The
10 original version of our IPComp code came from Svenning Soerensen, who has
11 also contributed various bug fixes and improvements.
12
13 The first versions of Pluto were done by Angelos D. Keromytis
14 <angelos@dsl.cis.upenn.edu>.
15
16 The MD2 implementation is from RSA Data Security Inc., so this package must
17 include the following phrase: "RSA Data Security, Inc. MD2 Message Digest
18 Algorithm" It is not under the GPL; see details in programs/pluto/md2.c.
19
20 The MD5 implementation is from RSA Data Security Inc., so this package must
21 include the following phrase: "derived from the RSA Data Security, Inc.
22 MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm". It is not under the GPL; see details in
23 linux/net/ipsec/ipsec_md5c.c.
24
25 The PKCS#11 header files in programs/pluto/rsaref/ are from RSA Security Inc.,
26 so they must include the following phrase: "RSA Security Inc. PKCS#11
27 Cryptographic Token Interface (Cryptoki)". The headers are not under the GPL;
28 see details in programs/pluto/rsaref/pkcs11.h.
29
30 The LIBDES library by Eric Young is used. It is not under the GPL -- see
31 details in libdes/COPYRIGHT -- although he has graciously waived the
32 advertising clause for FreeS/WAN use of LIBDES.
33
34 The SHA-1 code is derived from Steve Reid's; it is public domain.
35
36 Some bits of Linux code, notably drivers/net/new_tunnel.c and net/ipv4/ipip.c,
37 are used in heavily modified forms.
38
39 The lib/pfkeyv2.h header file contains public-domain material published in
40 RFC 2367.
41
42 Delete SA code and Notification messages were contributed by Mathieu Lafon.
43 He also implemented the vital NAT traversal support.
44
45 Peter Onion has been immensely helpful in finding portability bugs in
46 general, and in making FreeS/WAN work on the Alpha in particular. Rob
47 Hatfield likewise found and fixed some problems making it work on the
48 Netwinder.
49
50 John S. Denker of AT&T Shannon Labs has found a number of bugs the hard
51 way, has pointed out various problems (some of which we have fixed!) in
52 using the software in production applications, and has suggested some
53 substantial improvements to the documentation.
54
55 Marc Boucher <marc@mbsi.ca> did a quick-and-dirty port of KLIPS to the
56 Linux 2.2.x kernels, at a time when we needed it badly, and has helped
57 chase down 2.2.xx bugs and keep us current with 2.4.x development.
58
59 John Gilmore organized the FreeS/WAN project and continues to direct it.
60 Hugh Daniel handles day-to-day management, customer interface, and both
61 constructive and destructive testing. See the project's web page
62 <http://www.freeswan.org> for other contributors to this project and
63 related ones.
64
65 Herbert Xu ported the FreeS/WAN code to the native IPsec stack
66 of the Linux 2.6 kernel.
67
68 Kai Martius added initial support of OpenPGP certificates.
69
70 Andreas Steffen introduced the support of X.509 certificates in 2000
71 and has been both maintaining the X.509 code and adding extensions
72 to it ever since.
73
74 Andreas Hess, Patric Lichtsteiner, and Roger Wegmann implemented the
75 the initial X.509 certificate support, relying on Kai Martius's work.
76
77 Marco Bertossa and Andreas Schleiss implemented the verification of
78 the X.509 chain from the peer certificate up to the root CA.
79
80 Ueli Galizzi and Ariane Seiler did the original work on the support
81 of attribute certificates.
82
83 Martin Berner and Lukas Suter implemented the definition of group
84 attributes and dynamic fetching of attribute certificates.
85
86 Christoph Gysin and Simon Zwahlen implemented PKCS#15-based
87 smartcard suppport and contributed a fully operational OCSP client.
88
89 David Buechi and Michael Meier implemented the PKCS#11 smartcard
90 interface.
91
92 The support of port and protocol selectors was based on Stephen J.
93 Bevan's original work.
94
95 Stephane Laroche donated the original LDAP and HTTP fetching code
96 based on pthreads.
97
98 JuanJo Ciarlante introduced the modular support of alternative
99 encryption and authentication algorithms (AES, Serpent, twofish, etc).
100
101 The ipsec starter is based on Mathieu Lafon's original work.
102
103 Jan Hutter and Martin Willi developed the scepclient which fully
104 supports Cisco's Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP).
105
106 Tobias Brunner and Daniel Roethlisberger implemented NAT traversal and
107 dead peer detection for the IKEv2 keying daemon.
108
109 Daniel Wydler implemented the integrity test of the libstrongswan code
110 using the FIPS_canister code from the OpenSSL-FIPS project.
