Reading this thread post-vacation, I was thinking the same thing, so I've made those couple lines of changes in the ag-media cvs code (yes, that will propagate to UCL eventually, if they'll have it). Tom On 3/30/06 9:48 AM, Ivan R. Judson wrote:

Heheh.. yea.. quite right. Ooops. I hate that word for how often I misspell it. I really had to make sure I got it right in the source code for AGVCR. For emails, obviously I'm still having problems. :)

Hi, Just a minor correction - just a typo - to save frustration: One needs use "Rijndael/" instead of "Rjindael/" Piers. On 3/29/06, Derek Piper <[email protected]> wrote:
You may be better off using Rjindael encryption, which is normally used on AG Venues when setting the 'encryption' option in the venue server config. A Rjindael key is passed to VIC and RAT as 'Rjindael/passphrase' where passphrase should be something random and unguessable, and distributed to those needing the key to enter manually. There's a program for Debian called 'pwgen' that I've used to generate a passphrase before. For manually entering the key, you would probably just disable the venue encryption and manually key it in. For a DES key, just use a passphrase that doesn't start with a string 'Rjindael/'. Of course you can also use certificates to secure a venue too, so not just anyone can enter and obtain the encryption key.

We would like to demonstrate encryption in April to some fellow colleagues. I set up a test room on our venue server with encryption. Encryption works fine, but whoever enters the venue gets the encryption key. I would like to "lock" down the room to whoever I give the key to, not whoever enters the room. Can this be done?
Also, I know I can manually enter a key into vic and rat. Is there a program that I can run to get DES key? Or can I simply use a passphrase instead?
Thanks!
