We stopped adding "Contributed by" or similar lines in sources in 2012 in favour of git logs and keeping the Contributors section of the glibc manual up to date. Removing these lines makes the license header a bit more consistent across files and also removes the possibility of error in attribution when license blocks or files are copied across since the contributed-by lines don't actually reflect reality in those cases. Move all "Contributed by" and similar lines (Written by, Test by, etc.) into a new file CONTRIBUTED-BY to retain record of these contributions. These contributors are also mentioned in manual/contrib.texi, so we just maintain this additional record as a courtesy to the earlier developers. The following scripts were used to filter a list of files to edit in place and to clean up the CONTRIBUTED-BY file respectively. These were not added to the glibc sources because they're not expected to be of any use in future given that this is a one time task: https://gist.github.com/siddhesh/b5ecac94eabfd72ed2916d6d8157e7dc https://gist.github.com/siddhesh/15ea1f5e435ace9774f485030695ee02 Reviewed-by: Carlos O'Donell <carlos@redhat.com> |

The following is the README for UFC-crypt, with those portions deleted that are known to be incorrect for the implementation used with the GNU C library. UFC-crypt: ultra fast 'crypt' implementation ============================================ @(#)README 2.27 11 Sep 1996 Design goals/non goals: ---------------------- - Crypt implementation plugin compatible with crypt(3)/fcrypt. - High performance when used for password cracking. - Portable to most 32/64 bit machines. - Startup time/mixed salt performance not critical. Features of the implementation: ------------------------------ - On most machines, UFC-crypt runs 30-60 times faster than crypt(3) when invoked repeated times with the same salt and varying passwords. - With mostly constant salts, performance is about two to three times that of the default fcrypt implementation shipped with Alec Muffets 'Crack' password cracker. For instructions on how to plug UFC-crypt into 'Crack', see below. - With alternating salts, performance is only about twice that of crypt(3). - Requires 165 kb for tables. Author & licensing etc ---------------------- UFC-crypt is created by Michael Glad, email: glad@daimi.aau.dk, and has been donated to the Free Software Foundation, Inc. It is covered by the GNU library license version 2, see the file 'COPYING.LIB'. NOTES FOR USERS OUTSIDE THE US: ------------------------------ The US government limits the export of DES based software/hardware. This software is written in Aarhus, Denmark. It can therefore be retrieved from ftp sites outside the US without breaking US law. Please do not ftp it from american sites. Benchmark table: --------------- The table shows how many operations per second UFC-crypt can do on various machines. |--------------|-------------------------------------------| |Machine | SUN* SUN* HP* DecStation HP | | | 3/50 ELC 9000/425e 3100 9000/720 | |--------------|-------------------------------------------| | Crypt(3)/sec | 4.6 30 15 25 57 | | Ufc/sec | 220 990 780 1015 3500 | |--------------|-------------------------------------------| | Speedup | 48 30 52 40 60 | |--------------|-------------------------------------------| *) Compiled using special assembly language support module. It seems as if performance is limited by CPU bus and data cache capacity. This also makes the benchmarks debatable compared to a real test with UFC-crypt wired into Crack. However, the table gives an outline of what can be expected. Optimizations: ------------- Here are the optimizations used relative to an ordinary implementation such as the one said to be used in crypt(3). Major optimizations ******************* - Keep data packed as bits in integer variables -- allows for fast permutations & parallel xor's in CPU hardware. - Let adjacent final & initial permutations collapse. - Keep working data in 'E expanded' format all the time. - Implement DES 'f' function mostly by table lookup - Calculate the above function on 12 bit basis rather than 6 as would be the most natural. - Implement setup routines so that performance is limited by the DES inner loops only. - Instead of doing salting in the DES inner loops, modify the above tables each time a new salt is seen. According to the BSD crypt code this is ugly :-) Minor (dirty) optimizations *************************** - combine iterations of DES inner loop so that DES only loops 8 times. This saves a lot of variable swapping. - Implement key access by a walking pointer rather than coding as array indexing. - As described, the table based f function uses a 3 dimensional array: sb ['number of 12 bit segment']['12 bit index']['48 bit half index'] Code the routine with 4 (one dimensional) vectors. - Design the internal data format & uglify the DES loops so that the compiler does not need to do bit shifts when indexing vectors. Revision history **************** UFC patchlevel 0: base version; released to alt.sources on Sep 24 1991 UFC patchlevel 1: patch released to alt.sources on Sep 27 1991. No longer rebuilds sb tables when seeing a new salt. UFC-crypt pl0: Essentially UFC pl 1. Released to comp.sources.misc on Oct 22 1991. UFC-crypt pl1: Released to comp.sources.misc in march 1992 * setkey/encrypt routines added * added validation/benchmarking programs * reworked keyschedule setup code * memory demands reduced * 64 bit support added
