Package libmcrypt-shlibs-2.5.8-1

libmcrypt is the library which implements all the algorithms and modes found in mcrypt. 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. Included algorithms: cbc cfb ctr ecb ncfb nofb ofb stream threeway cast-128 gost rijndael-128 safer-sk64 twofish arcfour cast-256 loki97 rijndael-192 saferplus wake blowfish-compat des rijndael-256 serpent xtea blowfish enigma rc2 safer-sk128 tripledes 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).
