C Library Functions libgcrypt(3)
NAME
libgcrypt - libgcrypt is a general purpose cryptographic
library based on the code from GnuPG.DESCRIPTION
libgcrypt is a general purpose cryptographic library based
on the code from GnuPG. It provides functions for all cryp-
tograhic building blocks: symmetric ciphers (AES, DES, Blowfish, Twofish, Arcfour), hash algorithms (MD4, MD5,RIPE-MD160, SHA-1, TIGER-192), MACs (HMAC for all hash algo-
rithms), public key algorithms (RSA, ElGamal, DSA), large integer functions, random numbers and a lot of supporting functions.ATTRIBUTES
