General purpose cryptographic C++ library - development

General purpose cryptographic C++ library which includes:

  A class hierarchy with an API defined by abstract base classes,
  Proposed AES (Rijndael) and other AES candidates,
  Other symmetric block ciphers,
  Generic cipher modes,
  Stream ciphers,
  Public key cryptography,
  Padding schemes for public-key systems,
  Key agreement schemes,
  Elliptic curve cryptography,
  One-way hash functions,
  Message authentication codes,
  Cipher constructions based on hash functions,
  Pseudo-random number generators,
  High level interface for most of the above using a filter/pipeline metaphor,
  and a whole lot more.

This package contains the header files needed for developing using the Crypto++ class library. It also includes the static library with libtool supoport, a utility for benchmarking and using the various Crypto++ routines, and finally it includes the test vectors for validating both the Crypto++ implementation and other implementations of these routines.
