cryptlib is a powerful security toolkit which allows even inexperienced crypto programmers to easily add encryption and authentication services to their software. The high-level interface provides anyone with the ability to add strong security capabilities to an application in as little as half an hour, without needing to know any of the low-level details which make the encryption or authentication work. Because of this, cryptlib dramatically reduces the cost involved in adding security to new or existing applications. cryptlib provides a standardised interface to a number of popular encryption algorithms, as well as providing a high-level interface which hides most of the implementation details and provides an operating-system-independent encoding method which makes it easy to transfer secured data from one operating environment to another.
