VIFF 0.7

[Martin Geisler]

I'm very happy to announce the release of VIFF version 0.7:

  Tar/GZ:  http://viff.dk/release/viff-0.7.tar.gz
  Tar/BZ2: http://viff.dk/release/viff-0.7.tar.bz2
  Zip:     http://viff.dk/release/viff-0.7.zip
  Exe:     http://viff.dk/release/viff-0.7.win32.exe

The changes since version 0.6 are:

  PyOpenSSL is now used instead of GnuTLS and this enables secure
  connections on Windows. The code dealing with starting a player has
  been made much more robust and players can now be started in any
  order. Player can now also be reliably shutdown. New runtime based on
  homomorphic Paillier encryption supports just two players. Added a new
  protocol for equality testing with secret shared result.

About VIFF:

  Virtual Ideal Functionality Framework is a framework for creating
  efficient and secure multi-party computations (SMPC). Players, who do
  not trust each other, participate in a joint computation based on
  their private inputs. The computation is done using cryptographic
  protocols which allows them to obtain a correct answer without
  revealing their private inputs. Operations supported include addition,
  multiplication, and comparison, all with Shamir secret shared outputs.
