Libmcrypt is a thread-safe library providing a uniform interface
|
|
to access several block and stream encryption algorithms.
|
|
Check the manual page for more information on libmcrypt.
|
|
|
|
Look at COPYING for license information and the individual files for more
|
|
information. COPYING applies only for the mcrypt program and not the
|
|
algorithms which most of them are public domain.

** Some hints:
|
|
|
|
Since 2.5.4 libmcrypt does not use dynamic loading for the modules by default.
|
|
All the algorithms and modes, are now included in the library. To enable
|
|
the old dynamic loading behaviour use the --enable-dynamic-loading in the
|
|
configure script.
|
|
|
|
That way you can statically link the library and be 100% thread safe,
|
|
since dlopen is not always thread safe.
|
|
|
|
You can also enable dynamic loading and include some algorithms into the
|
|
library. To include algorithms in the library use the
|
|
--with-included-algos parameter in the configure script.
|
|
Eg: ./configure --with-included-algos="rijndael-128 arcfour stream cbc cfb"
