LibTomCrypt and LibTomMath—development status?

Question

LibTomCrypt in the past has seemed like a very viable and useful option for encryption. And the associated LibTomMath could be a useful math library. But lately, I can't see any development on it and it's ambiguous as to what is the "current" web site for it. E.g.:

• http://libtomcrypt.com/
  • which points to http://libtom.org/
  • old page
• http://libtomcrypt.org/ (now looks like it's been taken over by a domain squatter)
  • in the past (Wayback Machine)

What's the status, and is there a future for LibTomCrypt?

Answer 1

As far as I know, the author has dropped development of both libraries; any volunteer is free to pick the code up, and maintain it. Apparently this has not occurred (yet).

See for instance this message (published in newsgroup sci.crypt) from the author of those libraries.
