# The security/cryptokit port

## cryptokit-1.3p4 – cryptographic framework for the Objective-ML language

## Description

    The Cryptokit library for Objective Caml provides a variety of
    cryptographic primitives that can be used to implement cryptographic
    protocols in security-sensitive applications.  The primitives
    provided include:

    - Symmetric-key ciphers: AES, DES, Triple-DES, ARCfour,
      in ECB, CBC, CFB and OFB modes.
    - Public-key cryptography: RSA encryption, Diffie-Hellman key
      agreement.
    - Hash functions and MACs: SHA-1, MD5, and MACs based on
      AES and DES.
    - Random number generation.
    - Encodings and compression: Base64, hexadecimal, Zlib compression.

    Additional ciphers and hashes can easily be used in conjunction
    with the library.  In particular, basic mechanisms such as chaining
    modes, output buffering, and padding are provided by generic classes
    that can easily be composed with user-provided ciphers.  More
    generally, the library promotes a "Lego"-like style of constructing
    and composing transformations over character streams.
