A forum for discussing the optimal selection of packages for inclusion in a Starkit archive to form the core set of functionality available for all weedesk applications.
1-17-2004 MDD - I'll kick things off by proposing a simple, but solid, cryptographic toolkit. Since weedesk will most often be used as a bring-it-with-you portable computing environment, most likely residing on some sort of flash memory device, security of data will be of paramount importance. I'd suggest a simple set of primitives to support symmetric (Blowfish, perhaps) and asymmetric (RSA maybe) encryption, as well as a good one-way hash (sha1 ?). Key management and other niceties can then be scripted at the Tcl level.
