It is currently under development but it +seems to work pretty good. Unlike most encryption libraries +libmcrypt does not have everything (random number generators, +hashes, hmac implementation, key exchange, public key encryption +etc.). Libmcrypt only implements an interface to access block and +stream encryption algorithms. It's purpose was to assist in the +development of mcrypt by providing a uniform interface to access +several different encryption algorithms, so that the main program +is independent of the encryption algorithms and the modes used. + +Libmcrypt supports the algorithms: +BLOWFISH, TWOFISH, DES, TripleDES, 3-WAY, SAFER-sk64, SAFER-sk128, +SAFER+, LOKI97, GOST, RC2, RC6, MARS, IDEA, RIJNDAEL-128 (AES), +RIJNDAEL-192, RIJNDAEL-256, SERPENT, CAST-128 (known as CAST5), +CAST-256, ARCFOUR and WAKE. Block algorithms can be used in: CBC, +ECB, CFB and OFB (8 bit and n bit, where n is the size of the +algorithm's block length). |
