<p><b>Porting notes from the old ASN.1 library</b> For the most part code using the

changes are made:
</p>

<li>
DERObject becomes Asn1Object
<li>
DEREncodable becomes Asn1Encodable
<li>
GetDERObject() becomes ToAsn1Object()
<li>
BERConstructedOctetString becomes BerOctetString
<li>
If you were using the older mutable DERConstructedSequence/Set and
BERConstructedSequence, use an Asn1EncodableVector in conjunction with
DerSequence/Set and BerSequence
<li>
BERInputStream and DERInputStream are replaced with Asn1InputStream
<li>
AsymmetricKeyParameter is now in the Org.Bouncycastle.Crypto namespace</li>
</ul>

<h3><a class="mozTocH3" name="mozTocId211208"></a>How To Build.</h3>
<p>
The BC C# API uses NAnt (<a href="http://nant.sourceforge.net/">http://nant.sourceforge.net</a>)
to provide a platform independent build environment (suggested version NAnt 0.90).
There is also a solution file for Visual Studio, and for MonoDevelop. The API works
with .NET Framework 1.1 and above. It has been successfully built and tested with Mono
versions from 1.1.13 onwards. The source code can be built for .NET Compact Framework 1.0
by setting the compilation flag NETCF_1_0, or .NET Compact Framework 2.0 by setting NETCF_2_0,
or Silverlight 2 by setting SILVERLIGHT.
</p>
Using a command prompt (DOS window), cd into the 'crypto' folder of this
distribution.<br>
<br>
<span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Use,</span><br>
<ul>
<li>
'<span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">nant</span>' without arguments to compile
debug code, the tests and run the tests.
<li>
'<span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">nant compile-release</span>' to compile

<span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Java� heritage,</span><br>
<br>
The Bouncy Castle C# API is a port of the Bouncy Castle Java APIs.
Approximately %80 of the functionality in the Java build has now been ported.
For the most part, the naming conventions of the .NET platform have been
adopted. The C# API is constantly kept uptodate with bug fixes and new test
cases from the Java build (and vice versa sometimes), thus benefitting from the
large user base and real-world use the Java version has seen.<br>
<br>
<span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Please consider.</span><br>
<br>
The Bouncy Castle C# API is a library of transformations that when combined
properly will enable developers to create standard conforming cryptographic
systems. In order to use this API you must have some knowledge of how to build
cryptographic systems, namely what transformations to use and the when, where
and why of their use.<br>
Developing good cryptographic systems takes practice and understanding.<br>
<br>
There are many resources available online and in book shops; please use those
to your advantage.<br>

Bouncy Castle JIRA C# 1.6</a></li>
</ul>
<H4><A class="mozTocH4" name="mozTocId85310"></A>Release 1.5, Tuesday August 18, 2009</H4>
<h5>Defects Fixed</h5>
<ul>
<li>Correct the ASN.1 class for AuthorityInformationAccess.</li>
<li>In the Bcpg libs, armored output now inserts the correct version string.</li>
<li>EssCertIDv2 encoding now complies with RFC 5035.</li>

</ul>
<H4><A class="mozTocH4" name="mozTocId85309"></A>Release 1.4, Thursday August 8, 2008</H4>
<h5>Defects Fixed</h5>
<ul>
<li>The GeneralName string constructor now supports IPv4 and IPv6 address parsing.</li>
<li>EAX mode was not handling non-zero offsetted data correctly and failing. This has been fixed.</li>
<li>EAX mode ciphers were not resetting correctly after a DoFinal/Reset. This has been fixed.</li>
<li>Some boolean parameters to IssuingDistributionPoint were being reversed. This has been fixed.</li><li>A zero length RDN would cause an exception in an X509Name. This has been fixed.</li>
<li>Specifying a greater than 32bit length for a stream and relying on the default BcpgOutputStream resulted in corrupted data. This has been fixed.</li>
<li>Pkcs7Padding validation would not fail if pad length was 0. This has been fixed.</li>
<li>Signature creation time was not being properly initialised in new V4 PGP signature objects although the encoding was correct. This has been fixed.</li>
<li>The '+' character can now be escaped or quoted in the constructor for X509Name.</li>
<li>IV handling in CMS for SEED and Camellia was incorrect. This has been fixed.</li>
<li>ASN.1 stream parser now throws exceptions for unterminated sequences.</li>
<li>X509CertificateParser/X509CrlParser now handle multiple certificates/CRLs in streams that don't support seeking.</li>
<li>The CertID class used by the TSP library was incomplete. This has been fixed</li>
<li>\# is now properly recognised in the X509Name class.</li>
<li>BigInteger.ModInverse was failing for negative values. This has been fixed.</li>
<li>CMS API now supports RSASSA-PSS signatures with explicit salt length.</li>
</ul>
<h5>Additional Features and Functionality</h5>
<ul>
<li>ASN.1 libs now support high tag numbers.</li>
<li>Galois/Counter Mode (GCM) has been added.</li>
<li>The TSP API now supports parsing and validation of responses with V2 signing certificate entries.</li>
<li>Unnecessary local ID attributes on certificates in PKCS12 files are now automatically removed.</li>
<li>New Pkcs12StoreBuilder class supports generation of PKCS12 files with both certificates and keys protected by 3DES.</li>
<li>Certifications associated with user attributes can now be created, verified and removed in OpenPGP.</li>
<li>API support now exists for CMS countersignature reading and production.</li>
<li>A new class LazyAsn1InputStream supports lazy evaluation of DER sequences and sets, considerably reducing memory requirements in some scenarios.</li>
<li>KeyPurposeId class has been updated for RFC 4945.</li>
<li>Initial support has been added for HP_CERTIFICATE_REQUEST in the TLS API.</li>
<li>PGP example programs now handle blank names in literal data objects.</li>
<li>The ProofOfPossession class now better supports the underlying ASN.1 structure.</li>
</ul>
<h5>Additional Notes</h5>
<ul>
<li>Due to problems for some users caused by the presence of the IDEA algorithm, an implementation is no
longer included in the default assembly. Only the assembly named BouncyCastle.CryptoExt now includes IDEA.</li>
<li>See also the list of resolved issues at
