@Max__who Hi, so at the moment we haven't done the work required to make use of ARM intrinsics. It's going to happen eventually, just not sure when.

@bccrypto Hi, in the release notes of 2.0.0 you say there is no ARM support for .net6.0, what does this mean exactly and when to expect it?

BC C# 2.2.0 now out. Support for X.509 Section 9.8 alt signatures and public keys, RFC 9146 connection ID in DTLS, OpenSSH public and private key formats, and more. Please see #DOWNLOAD20200" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">bouncycastle.org/csharp/#DOWNLO… for details.

BC FJA-1.0.2.4 now submitted for final certification, addressing the transitions at the end of 2023 and adding Java 17 as a tested environment. Thanks to the team at @acumensec for all the support. Early access available.

@sayeepr @acumensec Sorry, but it's the specific version numbers only, anything else is regarded as off certificate.

@acumensec @bccrypto the cert csrc.nist.gov/Projects/crypt… specifies 1.0.2.1 and 1.0.2.2 and 1.0.2.3 only and does not say anything about the base 1.0.2 .. is it implied ?

Bouncy Castle FIPS Java, BC-FJA 1.0.2 has just been issued certificate #3514. Details at csrc.nist.gov/projects/crypt… Many thanks to our sponsors and our lab @acumensec
