		Skein (&lt;http://www.skein-hash.info/&gt;) is a family of fast
		secure cryptographic hash functions designed by Niels
		Ferguson, Stefan Lucks, Bruce Schneier, Doug Whiting, Mihir
		Bellare, Tadayoshi Kohno, Jon Callas and Jesse Walker.
		
		This package uses bindings to the optimized C implementation
		of Skein.  We provide a high-level interface (see module
		"Crypto.Skein") to some of the Skein use cases.  We also
		provide a low-level interface (see module
		"Crypto.Skein.Internal") should you need to use Skein in a
		different way.
		
		Currently we have support for Skein as cryptographic hash
		function as Skein as a message authentication code
		(Skein-MAC).  For examples of how to use this package, see
		"Crypto.Skein" module documentation.
		
		This package includes Skein v1.3. Versions of this package
		before 1.0.0 implemented Skein v1.1.
