Introduction</h1>
<p>Heimdal libhcrypto library is a implementation many crypto algorithms, among others: AES, SHA, DES, RSA, Camellia and many help function.</p>
<p>hcrypto provies a OpenSSL compatible interface libcrypto interface and is licensed under a 3 clause BSD license (GPL compatible).</p>

Control functions</h2>
<p>Functions controlling general behavior, like adding algorithms, are documented in this module: <a class="el" href="group__hcrypto__core.html">hcrypto function controlling behavior</a> .</p>
<h2><a class="anchor" id="return_values"></a>
Return values</h2>
<p>Return values are diffrent in this module to be compatible with OpenSSL interface. The diffrence is that on success 1 is returned instead of the customary 0.</p>
<h2><a class="anchor" id="History"></a>
History</h2>
<p>Eric Young implemented DES in the library libdes, that grew into libcrypto in the ssleay package. ssleay went into recession and then got picked up by the OpenSSL (htp://www.openssl.org/) project.</p>
<p>libhcrypto is an independent implementation with no code decended from ssleay/openssl. Both includes some common imported code, for example the AES implementation. </p>
