LibTomCrypt 1.16

LibTomCrypt is a 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. It 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 functions for easy handling 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.
Main features:
- Public domain and open source.
- Written entirely in portable ISO C source (except for things like RNGs for natural reasons)
- Builds out of the box on virtually every box. All that is required is GCC for the source to build.
- Includes a 90+ page user manual in PDF format (with working examples in it)
- Block Ciphers
- Ciphers come with an ECB encrypt/decrypt, setkey and self-test interfaces.
- All ciphers have the same prototype which facilitates using multiple ciphers at runtime.
- Some of the ciphers are flexible in terms of code size and memory usage.
- Ciphers Supported.

- Anubis (with optional tweak as proposed by the developers)
- Khazad
- Changing Modes
- Modes come with a start, encrypt/decrypt and set/get IV interfaces.
- Mode supported.
- ECB
- CBC

- One-Way Hash Functions
- Hashes come with init, process, done and self-test interfaces.
- All hashes use the same prototypes for the interfaces.

- Fortuna
- SOBER-128
- Public Key Algorithms
- RSA (using PKCS #1 v2.1 and PKCS #1 v1.5)
- DH (using ElGamal signatures and simple DH encryption)
- ECC (over Z/pZ, ElGamal Signatures, simple DH style encryption)
- DSA (Users make their own groups)
- Other standards
- PKCS #1 (both v1.5 and v2.0 padding)
- PKCS #5
- ASN.1 DER for INTEGER types.
Enhancements:
- The ECC code was fixed, cleaned, and improved.
- GCM was fixed.
- UTF8 support was added to the ASN1 code.
- The documentation was improved.
- The published version of the manual is included.
