Crypto++ 3.0 has just been released. You can find download instructions

    - added abstract base classes PK_SimpleKeyAgreementDomain and
      PK_AuthenticatedKeyAgreementDomain
    - changed DH and LUCDIF to implement the PK_SimpleKeyAgreementDomain
      interface and to perform domain parameter and key validation
    - changed interfaces of PK_Signer and PK_Verifier to sign and verify
      messages instead of message digests
    - changed OAEP to conform to PKCS#1 v2.0
    - changed benchmark code to produce HTML tables as output
    - changed PSSR to track IEEE P1363a
    - renamed ElGamalSignature to NR and changed it to track IEEE P1363
    - renamed ECKEP to ECMQVC and changed it to track IEEE P1363
