Change of target from 3.0.4 to 3.0.5

[KingCZE]

Hi, if I change the target from 3.0.4 to 3.0.5 (for J3R180 JCOP4-180K), would it give any more crypto options or any benefits at all? Would it even work?

A built with target 3.0.5, jc320v24.0_kit and jdk-17.0.10 has 70 kB compared to 17kB of the release build (which is however from 2019). That's a huge difference.

Thanks.

add strip="true" and you'll get a similar-sized result (.cap file is essentially a .jar, you can look inside). Just changing the target will not change the content of the source code, so you will not get anything "new".

FYI, targeting 3.0.5 with latest JC kit:

Thanks a lot. From what I see, 3.0.5 would only add SHA3 and RSA 3072 (apart from some altered command for random num generator) if added to the source code, which is probably not a big deal.

I don't know why, but none of the algorithms work for me when I use the stripped cap (no matter if 3.0.4 or 3.0.5). I have J3R180 JCOP4-180K, which should support pretty much everything (and it does with SmartPGP). When I used the 70kB unstripped 3.0.5 cap, it was at least able to generate a RSA 2048 key. I have no idea what the issue is.
