BeeCrypt is an open source cryptography library that contains highly
optimized C and assembler implementations of many well-known algorithms
including Blowfish, MD5, SHA-1, Diffie-Hellman, and ElGamal. Unlike
some other crypto libraries, BeeCrypt is not designed to solve one
specific problem, like file encryption, but to be a general purpose
toolkit which can be used in a variety of applications.
The BeeCrypt library currently includes:
- Entropy sources for initializing pseudo-random generators
- Pseudo-random generators: FIPS-186, Mersenne Twister
- Block ciphers: Blowfish
- Hash functions: MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256
- Keyed hash functions: MD5/HMAC, SHA-1/HMAC, SHA-256/HMAC
- Multi-precision integer library, with assembler-optimized routines
- Probabilistic primality testing, with optimized small prime trial
division
- Discrete logarithm parameter generation over a prime field
- Diffie-Hellman key agreement
- DHAES encryption scheme
- ElGamal signature scheme (two variants)
- Basic RSA primitives and key pair generation
