Are Twofish primitives deprecated in V7?

[petervk]

After installing IPP V7.0.2, I get a compiler message that all Twofish functions used are declared deprecated.

Example:remark #1786: function "ippsTwofishInit" (declared at line 285 of "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Intel\\ComposerXE-2011\\ipp\\include\\ippcp.h") was declared "deprecated ("ippsTwofishInit will be removed in the next release") "

None of the product documentation for the Twofish functions, either installed by IPP or online, list the status of the Twofish functions as deprecated. The only crypto functions listed as deprecated are Rijndael128GCMGetSize and Rijndael128GCMInit.

Are all of the Twofish cipher functions actually going to be removed in the next release of IPP?

Hi,

Thanks for checking on this. I am looking for some details on this, and provide you some udpate.

Thanks,
Chao

I would like to extend the question to other primitives:

Any updates yet? As mentioned above, many other useful functions are tagged as being deprecated.

[Chao_Y_Intel]

Hello,

Thanks for checking it. We plan to add the fix in the following update release.

Regards,
Chao

[Ricardo_Costa]

By "fix", do you mean those functions are actually not deprecated?

Regards

[PaulF_IntelCorp]

Hello Ricardo,

Those functions will not be removed from the 7.0 library. The deprecation message should be removed from the next update, which is expected shortly.

Paul

As of IPP version 7.0.7.325, all the functions listed in the previous post are still flagged as being deprecated in ippcp.h Can we count on these functions existing in future versions of IPP?
