This module provides implementations for a number of byte-oriented sources of random data.

Botan is a cryptography library, written in C++11, offering the tools necessary to implement a range of practical systems, such as TLS/DTLS, PKIX certificate handling, PKCS#11 and TPM hardware support, password hashing, and post-quantum crypto schemes. In addition to the C++, botan has a C89 API specifically designed to be easy to call from other languages. A Python binding using ctypes is included, and several other language bindings are available.

hash_extender is a utility for performing hash length extension attacks supporting MD4, MD5, RIPEMD-160, SHA-0, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512, and WHIRLPOOL hashes.

libb2 is a portable implementation of the BLAKE2 family of cryptographic hash functions. It includes optimised implementations for IA-32 and AMD64 processors, and an interface layer that automatically selects the best implementation for the processor it is run on.

BLAKE2 (RFC 7693) is a family of high-speed cryptographic hash functions that are faster than MD5, SHA-1, SHA-2, and SHA-3, yet are at least as secure as the latest standard, SHA-3. It is an improved version of the SHA-3 finalist BLAKE.

Enchive is a tool to encrypt files to yourself for long-term archival. It's a focused, simple alternative to more complex solutions such as GnuPG or encrypted filesystems. Enchive has no external dependencies and is trivial to build for local use. Portability is emphasized over performance.

BLAKE2 is a cryptographic hash function faster than MD5, SHA-1, SHA-2, and SHA-3, yet is at least as secure as SHA-3.

ccrypt is a utility for encrypting and decrypting files and streams. It was designed as a replacement for the standard unix crypt utility, which is notorious for using a very weak encryption algorithm. ccrypt is based on the Rijndael block cipher, a version of which is also used in the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES, see http://www.nist.gov/aes). This cipher is believed to provide very strong security.

This module is intended to provide a cryptographically-secure replacement for Perl's built-in rand function. "Cryptographically secure", in this case, means:

1. No matter how many numbers you see generated by the random number generator, you cannot guess the future numbers, and you cannot guess the seed.

2. There are so many possible seeds that it would take decades, centuries, or millennia for an attacker to try them all.

3. The seed comes from a source that generates relatively strong random data on your platform, so the seed itself will be as random as possible.

ISAAC (Indirection, Shift, Accumulate, Add, and Count) is a fast pseudo-random number generator. It is suitable for applications where a significant amount of random data needs to be produced quickly, such as solving using the Monte Carlo method or for games. The results are uniformly distributed, unbiased, and unpredictable unless you know the seed.

This package provides a Perl interface to the ISAAC pseudo random number generator.

The Olm library implements the Double Ratchet cryptographic ratchet. It is written in C and C++11, and exposed as a C API.

RHash is a console utility for calculation and verification of magnet links and a wide range of hash sums like CRC32, MD4, MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512, SHA3, AICH, ED2K, Tiger, DC++ TTH, BitTorrent BTIH, GOST R 34.11-94, RIPEMD-160, HAS-160, EDON-R, Whirlpool and Snefru.

EncFS creates a virtual encrypted file system in user-space. Each file created under an EncFS mount point is stored as a separate encrypted file on the underlying file system. Like most encrypted file systems, EncFS is meant to provide security against off-line attacks, such as a drive falling into the wrong hands.

DigiDoc is an XML file format for documents with digital signatures used by the Estonian ID card infrastructure. This library allows for creation and reading of DigiDoc files.

This package provides architecture-specific implementations of the CRC32C algorithm, which is specified in RFC 3720, section 12.1.

The libdecaf library is an implementation of elliptic curve cryptography using the Montgomery and Edwards curves Curve25519, Ed25519, Ed448-Goldilocks and Curve448, using the Decaf encoding.

Asignify offers public cryptographic signatures and encryption with a library or a command-line tool. The tool is heavily inspired by signify as used in OpenBSD. The main goal of this project is to define a high level API for signing files, validating signatures and encrypting using public-key cryptography. Asignify is designed to be portable and self-contained with zero external dependencies. Asignify can verify OpenBSD signatures, but it cannot sign messages in OpenBSD format yet.

The signify utility creates and verifies cryptographic signatures using the elliptic curve Ed25519. This is a Linux port of the OpenBSD tool of the same name.

The Olm library implements the Double Ratchet cryptographic ratchet. This package contains its Python bindings.

ssss-split and ssss-combine are utilities that split and combine secrets securely using Shamir's secret sharing scheme. This implementation allows for a threshold scheme where the minimum number of shares can be less than the total number of shares generated.

Keyutils is a set of utilities for managing the key retention facility in the Linux kernel, which can be used by file systems, block devices, and more to gain and retain the authorization and encryption keys required to perform secure operations.

Crypto++ is a C++ class library of cryptographic schemes.

Hpenc is a command-line tool for performing authenticated encryption (AES-GCM and ChaCha20-Poly1305) of streaming data. It does not perform an asymmetric key exchange, instead requiring the user to distribute pre-shared keys out of band. It is designed to handle large amounts of data quickly by using all your CPU cores and hardware acceleration.
