cryptlib Security Toolkit

This document is the cryptlib security toolkit, version 3.2.2, copyrighted by Peter Gutmann in 2005. It serves as a comprehensive guide to cryptlib, a powerful security toolkit that allows developers to easily add encryption and authentication services to their software. The toolkit supports a wide range of cryptographic operations, including secure data enveloping, secure communications sessions, certificate management, key generation, and more. It is designed to be highly portable and can be used in various environments, from embedded systems to standard operating systems. The document details cryptlib's features, architecture, programming interfaces, and various applications, providing code examples and explanations for each. It also covers topics such as standards conformance, error handling, and working with different types of objects and data structures.
