Description
libmcrypt
libmcrypt is a library that takes care of all the cool algorithms and modes you find in mcrypt. Right now, it's still being worked on, but it seems to be doing pretty well!
What Makes libmcrypt Different?
Now, here's the thing: unlike most encryption libraries, libmcrypt doesn't cover everything like random number generators, hashes, HMAC implementation, key exchange, or public key encryption.
A Focused Purpose
The main goal of libmcrypt is to give you an easy way to access block and stream encryption algorithms. It helps developers work with mcrypt by providing a uniform way to interact with different encryption algorithms. This means your main program can run without getting tangled up in the specifics of how those algorithms work.
Supported Algorithms
So, which algorithms are backed by libmcrypt? Here's the list:
- BLOWFISH
- TWOFISH
- DES
- TripleDES
- 3-WAY
- SAFER-sk64
- SAFER-sk128
