You need at least +Botan 1.6.0. + +You'll also need GTK+ 2.x (tested with GTK+ 2.10; should work with +most versions). Keep in mind that I was learning GTK as I was writing +this code, so it is not exactly the best GTK code you're likely to +see. + +dsa.cpp is the main GTK+ driver. It has some comments at the top which +point out major areas of interest. + +gtk_ui.* implement a User_Interface object that opens up a GTK+ dialog +box that asks the user for their passphrase. It works pretty well, the +only major deficiency is a fixed upper limit on the size of the +passphrase (currently 64). You may want to use this in your own code, +assuming you use GTK. If not, it should at least provide an outline +for writing a version for your favorite windowing system. |
