+Taking a hint from the similarly-named Java Cryptography Architecture,
+QCA aims to provide a straightforward and cross-platform crypto
+API, using Qt datatypes and conventions. QCA separates the API from
+the implementation, using plugins known as Providers. The advantage
+of this model is to allow applications to avoid linking to or
+explicitly depending on any particular cryptographic library. This
+allows one to easily change or upgrade crypto implementations
+without even needing to recompile the application. QCA should work
+everywhere Qt does, including Windows/Unix/MacOSX.
+
+Features:
+* SSL/TLS
+* X509
+* RSA
+* Hashing (SHA1, MD5)
+* Ciphers (Blowfish, 3DES, AES)
