libgcrypt(3) C Library Functions libgcrypt(3)NAMElibgcrypt - libgcrypt is a general purpose cryptographic library based
on the code from GnuPG.
DESCRIPTIONlibgcrypt is a general purpose cryptographic library based on the code
from GnuPG. It provides functions for all cryptograhic building blocks:
symmetric ciphers (AES, DES, Blowfish, Twofish, Arcfour), hash algo‐
rithms (MD4, MD5, RIPE-MD160, SHA-1, TIGER-192), MACs (HMAC for all
hash algorithms), public key algorithms (RSA, ElGamal, DSA), large
integer functions, random numbers and a lot of supporting functions.
