Description Mikolaj Izdebski 2013-09-26 07:21:20 UTC

Description of problem:
azureus implements elliptic curve cryptography (ECC), which is patented and therefore not allowed to be included in Fedora.

See bug #319901 for detailed discussion about ECC in OpenSSL package.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.46-10

Steps to Reproduce:
1. unpack package sources
2. grep -i -r elliptic

Version should be 5.0.0.0-2

Comment 2 Scott Schmit 2013-10-15 10:36:54 UTC

This may now be a non-issue. See bug #319901. CC'ing Tom.

Comment 3 Sergio Basto 2014-01-10 16:58:12 UTC

as recommended in bug #1019390 this is not a bug anymore , closing

Comment 4 Sergio Basto 2015-12-14 03:20:06 UTC

JFTR: After removed bundled libs

rm -fR org/apache
rm -fR org/bouncycastle
rm -fR org/json

result of: grep -i -r elliptic is nothing 

All elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) are in org/bouncycastle , so this package with or without elliptic curve cryptography in Fedora / Redhat is safe . 

Further investigation:

cd com/aelitis/azureus/core/security/
grep -r ECName

CryptoECCUtils.java:import org.bouncycastle.jce.ECNamedCurveTable;
CryptoECCUtils.java:import org.bouncycastle.jce.spec.ECNamedCurveParameterSpec;
CryptoECCUtils.java:    private static final ECNamedCurveParameterSpec ECCparam = ECNamedCurveTable.getParameterSpec("prime192v2")

Azureus use prime192v2 from bouncycastle .
