XPIR as a library

This version introduces three major changes:

• Compilation with cmake instead of the classic autotools
• Dependencies are no longer included (the user can install them by himself or use a script to download and install them)
• An API allowing to use XPIR as a library has been released (see below)

The original client/server applications are still available with the associated optimization tools. These can still be used for example to do some tests on PIR without developping an application or to use the optimization process in order to get interesting cryptographic and PIR parameters for a given setting.

If you have compilation/execution issues, please let us know. The old version is still available in the branch old-master and of course through previous releases.

Initial release (bug fix 1)

Should compile and work in linux 64 bits and Mac OSX.

A proper API is missing, the code should be more structured, and security issues may persist.

This version is ready to give realistic tests of what PIR can do in a large variety of settings.

This version should not be used in production as security/stability issues may still exist.

This release is the same as v0.1.0 with a bug fix on performance estimation for Paillier's cryptosystem.
