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

Keychain is usually run from shell profiles like ~/.bash_profile, but it is also possible to use it with non-interactive shells. It works with various operating systems (including GNU/Linux and HURD) and shells (like bourne-compatible, csh-compatible and fish shells). By default Keychain will only start ssh-agent, but it can also be configured to start gpg-agent.

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.

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.

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.

libscrypt implements scrypt key derivation function. It is designed to be far more secure against hardware brute-force attacks than alternative functions such as PBKDF2 or bcrypt.

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.

• Very efficient implementation.

• Suitable for embedded systems.

• Optional module for public key recovery.

• Optional module for ECDH key exchange (experimental).

• Optional module for multiset hash (experimental).

Minisign is a dead simple tool to sign files and verify signatures. It is portable, lightweight, and uses the highly secure Ed25519 public-key signature system. Signature written by minisign can be verified using OpenBSD's signify tool: public key files and signature files are compatible. However, minisign uses a slightly different format to store secret keys. Minisign signatures include trusted comments in addition to untrusted comments. Trusted comments are signed, thus verified, before being displayed.

Transcrypt is a script to configure transparent encryption of sensitive files stored in a Git repository. Files that you choose will be automatically encrypted when you commit them, and automatically decrypted when you check them out. The process will degrade gracefully, so even people without your encryption password can safely commit changes to the repository's non-encrypted files.

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.

Sodium is a new easy-to-use high-speed software library for network communication, encryption, decryption, signatures, etc.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This package provides b3sum, a command line checksum tool based on the BLAKE3 cryptographic hash function.

stoken is a token code generator compatible with RSA SecurID 128-bit (AES) tokens. This package contains a standalone command-line program that allows for importing token seeds, generating token codes, and various utility/testing functions.

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

Tomb is an application to manage the creation and access of encrypted storage files: it can be operated from commandline and it can integrate with a user's graphical desktop.

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.
