Description

We are using a copy of Crypto++ which is (if I recall correctly) v5.6.1 plus a patch or two that was committed to upstream, Crypto++ since then. It would be good to review the patches that have been committed to Crypto++ upstream since we branched and see if any of them would address any known issues in our usage.

If the Crypto++ SVN isn't working, you can try this web-browseable bzr mirror: https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~zooko/cryptopp/trunk/changes/

That thing is automatically updated by launchpad.net to mirror the latest SVN version from sourceforge.net.

Added a more specific ticket #97 to adopt to clang-portability patches.

Eek, this has languished for 16 months. We should really keep more up-to-date with changes in Crypto++, otherwise we're liable to miss security fixes.
