In most contexts, you need more than the basic +cryptographic algorithms, you also need some way to keep track of +available algorithms, their properties and variants. You often have +some algorithm selection process, often dictated by a protocol you want +to implement. + +And as the requirements of applications differ in subtle and not so +subtle ways, an API that fits one application well can be a pain to use +in a different context. And that is why there are so many different +cryptographic libraries around. \nNettle tries to avoid this problem by +doing one thing, the low-level crypto stuff, and providing a simple but +general interface to it. In particular, Nettle doesn't do algorithm +selection. It doesn't do memory allocation. It doesn't do any I/O.") + (license "GPLv2+"))) -- cgit v1.2.3
