[Classpathx-crypto] GNU Crypto release 1.0.0

[Raif S. Naffah]

hi there,

here is a revised version.  i added the reference to NESSIE, and 
clarified that the project is under the aegis of GNU.

-----

The GNU Crypto team is proud to anounce the release of the first version
of the gnu.crypto library.

GNU Crypto, part of the GNU project, released under the aegis of GNU, is 
a 100% Java implementation of cryptographic algorithms and
tools, and includes a Java Cryptographic Provider implementation to
allow its use through the Java JCA framework and APIs.

GNU Crypto includes, in addition to the now standard cryptographic
primitives (MD5, SHA-1, AES, etc.), implementations of new and
experimental cryptographic primitives and transforms such as Universal
Hash Algorithms (UMAC32, TMMH-16 v1), the Universal Security Transform
(UST), and others.  GNU Crypto also includes implementations of some of 
the accepted (2nd round) NESSIE (New European Schemes for Signatures, 
Integrity, and Encryption) project such as Anubis, Khazad, Whirlpool, etc.

More details on the rationale, and contents of the library can be found
on the project's home page at:
<http://www.gnu.org/software/classpathx/crypto/crypto.html>.
Deliverables are available from: <xxx>
