Description-en: General purpose cryptographic library - utilities and data files
Crypto++ is library for creating C++ programs which use cryptographic
algorithms. The library uses a Pipes & Filters architecture with heavy
use of templates and abstract base classes. The cryptographic
tools include:
* Authenticated encryption schemes (GCM, CCM, EAX),
* High speed stream ciphers (Panama, Sosemanuk, Salsa20, XSalsa20),
* AES and candidates (Rijndael, RC6, MARS, Twofish, Serpent, CAST-256),
* Other symmetric block ciphers (IDEA, Triple-DES, Camellia, SEED,
RC5, Blowfish, TEA, XTEA, Skipjack, SHACAL-2),
* Block cipher modes of operation (ECB, CBC, CTS, CFB, OFB, CTR),
* Message authentication codes (VMAC, HMAC, CMAC, CBC-MAC, DMAC,
Two-Track-MAC),
* Hash functions (SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, Tiger,
WHIRLPOOL, RIPEMD-128, RIPEMD-256, RIPEMD-160, RIPEMD-320),
* Public-key cryptography (RSA, DSA, ElGamal, NR, RW, LUC, LUCELG,
DLIES, ESIGN),
* Padding schemes for public-key systems (PKCS#1, OAEP, PSS, PSSR,
EMSA2, EMSA5),
* Key agreement schemes (DH, MQV, LUCDIF, XTR-DH),
* Elliptic curve cryptography (ECDSA, ECNR, ECIES, ECDH, ECMQV),
* Backwards compatibility algorithms (MD2, MD4, MD5, Panama Hash, DES,
ARC4, SEAL 3.0, WAKE, WAKE-OFB, DESX, RC2, SAFER, 3-WAY, GOST,
SHARK, CAST-128, Square),
* Pseudo-random number generators,
and a whole lot more. Alternative libraries are libgcrypt and
nettle.
.
This package includes a utility for benchmarking and using the
various Crypto++ routines from the command line. It also includes
the test vectors for validating both the Crypto++ implementation and
other implementations of these routines.
