Projects

OpenSSL

The OpenSSL Project is a collaborative effort to develop a robust, commercial-grade, full-featured, and Open Source toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) protocols as well as a full-strength general purpose cryptography library. The project ... [More] is managed by a worldwide community of volunteers that use the Internet to communicate, plan, and dev [Less]

GnuTLS

GnuTLS is a secure communications library implementing the SSL and TLS protocols and technologies around them. It provides a simple C language application programming interface (API) to access the secure communications protocols as well as APIs to parse and write X.509, PKCS #12, OpenPGP and other ... [More] required structures. It is aimed to be portable and efficient with focus on security and interoperability. [Less]

Keychain

The keychain script makes handling RSA and DSA keys both convenient and secure. It acts as a front-end to ssh-agent, allowing you to easily have one long-running ssh-agent process per system, rather than per login session.

Apache Shiro

claimed by Apache Software Foundation

Apache Shiro is an easy-to-use application security framework that cleanly handles authentication, authorization, enterprise session management and cryptography. Our mission: To provide the most robust and comprehensive application security framework available while also being very easy to understand and extremely simple to use.

strongSwan

strongSwan is an open source IPsec-based VPN solution. It features IKEv1 and IKEv2 keying capabilities and runs on Linux 2.6 and 3.x kernels, Android, Maemo, FreeBSD, and Mac OS X.

OpenSC

OpenSC provides a set of libraries and utilities to access smart cards. Its main focus is on cards that support cryptographic operations, and facilitate their use in security applications such as mail encryption, authentication, and digital signature. OpenSC implements the PKCS#11 API so ... [More] applications supporting this API such as Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird can use it. OpenSC implements the PKCS#15 standard and aims to be compatible with every software that does so, too. [Less]

M2Crypto

M2Crypto is the most complete Python wrapper for OpenSSL featuring RSA, DSA, DH, HMACs, message digests, symmetric ciphers (including AES); SSL functionality to implement clients and servers; HTTPS extensions to Python's httplib, urllib, and xmlrpclib; unforgeable HMAC'ing AuthCookies for ... [More] web session management; FTP/TLS client and server; S/MIME; ZServerSSL: A HTTPS server for Zope and ZSmime: An S/MIME messenger for Zope. [Less]

Openwall - passwdqc

pam_passwdqc is a simple password strength checking module for PAM-aware password changing programs, such as passwd(1). In addition to checking regular passwords, it offers support for passphrases and can provide randomly generated ones. All features are optional and can be (re-)configured without ... [More] rebuilding. The package additionally includes libpasswdqc (a password/passphrase strength checking library), pwqcheck (a standalone password/passphrase strength checking program), and pwqgen (a standalone random passphrase generator program).

CyaSSL

CyaSSL is an embedded SSL implementation (up to TLS 1.2 and DTLS) for software developers building security functionality into their applications and devices. It is optimized for resource-constrained environments and can be up to 20x smaller than OpenSSL. CyaSSL is ported to a long list of ... [More] environments, including Win/Linux/Mac, Solaris, ThreadX, VxWorks, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, embedded Linux, WinCE, Haiku, OpenWRT, iOS, Android, Nintendo Wii and Gamecube through DevKitPro, QNX, MontaVista, OpenCL, NonStop, TRON/ITRON/µITRON, µC/OS, FreeRTOS, MQX, and Nucleus. Supported chipsets include ARM, Intel, Motorola and others. CyaSSL cryptography includes assembly optimizations for several environments, including ARM, AVR 32, and Intel (with support for Intel AES-NI). [Less]

XySSL

[UPDATE 2008-12-31] As of now, XySSL is no longer maintained by Christophe Devine. The current project manager is Paul Bakker, and the new site can be accessed at: http://polarssl.org/ XySSL is an open-source cryptographic library for embedded systems. It provides standard crypto block: AES ... [More] , SHA-1, X.509, etc. as well as higher lever protocols: SSL v3 and TLS v1. XySSL has been ported on a number of architectures, including ARM, PowerPC, MIPS, and Motorola 68000. Its already small memory footprint can be easily reduced to 50k for a basic SSL client or server, by modifying a single .h configuration file. XySSL is currently used in several open-source (GPL) and closed-source projects, such as Adobe's flash player. [Less]
