Denis,

I am interested in rewriting the crypto subsystem (including
tronconneuse.cpp and crypto.cpp). A new design would allow for more
flexible encryption options for dar_suite and libdar users.

Specifically public key encryption and multiple encryption passphrases
(for encrypting to multiple users with different passphrases and/or
public keys) would be more easily implemented with a new design.

The rewrite I am envisioning would also change the dar file format. The
archive_header would be affected.

Are you interested in discussing how the new design would work before I
write it, or should I just go ahead and make an implementation?

Wesley
