cryptlib 3.0

Cryptlib by Peter Gutmann is a security toolkit that allows even less experienced programmers to add strong encryption and authentication services to their programs, security features that are becoming more and more indispensable. The library attempts to hide the low-level details of encryption/decryption and authentication from programmers, allowing them to quickly make their projects more secure. Some of the symmetric encryption (private key) and authentication algorithms that cryptlib supports include the following:

· AES (Rijndael)
· Blowfish
· DES, 3DES
· RC2, RC4, RC5

The following hash algorithms are available in the library:

· MD2, MD4, MD5
· RIPEMD-160
· SHA

It offers services such as:

· S/MIME
· SSL/TLS
· ssh

It features various hashed message authentication code algorithms:

· HMAC-MD5, HMAC-SHA, HMAC-RIPEMD-160

Finally, asymmetric (public/private key) encryption algorithms such as the following are available:

· Diffie-Hellman, DSA, RSA

cryptlib can also be used with a variety of crypto devices (for example, Fortezza cards and Smart cards).

The library is free if used in personal, freeware, or shareware projects. The library is written in C. ActiveX and C++ wrappers are provided. The project is OSI Certified Open Source Software.

Update history of cryptlib
v3.0 (May, 22. 2007)
The Unix randomness-gathering code now checks for and uses EGD/PRNGD if available.

Requirement that cryptlib be built via a network share under Windows is removed.

HTTP keyset access: server URL is given when keyset is opened as with other types, and a key ID is given when reading individual keys.
Distribution permissions for cryptlib
cryptlib is distributed under a dual license that allows free, open-source use under a GPL-compatible license and closed-source use under a standard commercial license. The GPL-compatible license (a.k.a. the Sleepycat license) is given below. A good overview and background behind the Sleepycat license, which also applies for cryptlib, is also available.

Any large-scale commercial use of cryptlib requires a license. "Large-scale commercial use" means any revenue-generating purpose such as use for company- internal purposes, or use of cryptlib in an application or product, with a total gross revenue of over US$5,000. This allows cryptlib to be used in freeware and shareware applications, for evaluation and research purposes, and for non-revenue-generating or personal use without charge. In addition the author reserves the right to grant free licenses for commercial use in special cases (for example where there is a general benefit to the public), contact the author for details if you think you qualify.
