Hi,
We are trying to migrate from Crypto++ 5.2.1 to Crypto++ 5.6.5. We are facing an issue with password based key derivation. In Crypto++ 5.2.1, for any given password, no matter how many times the asymmetric keys are generated based on the the RNG seeded with the password the keys are always the same but with 5.6.5 keys are different for each instance. Later I stumbled upon the thread
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/cryptopp-users/VTpTOzRnF7M where someone else also had similar issue. If i am correct the problem is because of RandomPool using the time for RNG from version 5.5.
Tried the below steps mentioned to use the old generator but not able to compile successfully. Building in windows platform and will post the compilation errors soon.
git clone https://github.com/weidai11/cryptopp cryptopp-ancient
cryptopp-ancient
//Checkout the RandomPool change
git checkout f41245df6fb9b85574260eca9cd32777e8ab5136
//Go back one more
git checkout HEAD~1
Is there a way by which i can revert only the RandomPool changes done with 5.5 to get the pre 5.5 generator by still maintaining the rest of the changes in 5.6.5?
What i meant is i need 5.6.5 SDK with pre 5.5 generator.
