LibTomCrypt is a fairly comprehensive, modular and portable cryptographic toolkit
that provides developers with a vast array of well known published block ciphers,
one-way hash functions, chaining modes, pseudo-random number generators, public
key cryptography and a plethora of other routines.
LibTomCrypt has been designed from the ground up to be very simple to use. It has
a modular and standard API that allows new ciphers, hashes and PRNGs to be added
or removed without change to the overall end application. It features easy to use
functions and a complete user manual which has many source snippet examples.
LibTomCrypt is free for all purposes under the public domain. This includes
commercial use, redistribution and even branching.
