-Botan is a C++ class library for performing a wide variety of
-cryptographic operations. It includes support for the following
-algorithms and formats:
-
-Public Key Algorithms
-  * Encryption algorithms RSA, ElGamal, DLIES
-       (padding schemes OAEP, PKCS #1 v1.5)
-  * Signature algorithms RSA, DSA, ECDSA, Nyberg-Rueppel, Rabin-Williams
-       (padding schemes PSS, PKCS #1 v1.5, X9.31)
-  * Key agreement techniques Diffie-Hellman and ECKAEG (ECDH)
-
-Ciphers
-  * Block cipher modes ECB, CBC, CBC/CTS, CFB, OFB, and CTR,
-       and authenticated cipher mode EAX
-  * AES (Rijndael) and AES candidates Serpent, Twofish, MARS, CAST-256, RC6
-  * DES, and variants 3DES and DESX
-  * Stream ciphers ARC4, Salsa20, Turing, and WiderWake4+1
-  * National/telecom block ciphers SEED, KASUMI, MISTY1, GOST, and Skipjack
-  * Other block ciphers including Blowfish, CAST-128, IDEA, Noekeon,
-       TEA, XTEA, RC2, RC5, SAFER-SK, and Square
-  * Block cipher constructions Luby-Rackoff and Lion
-
-Hash Functions and MACs
-  * Authentication codes HMAC, CMAC (aka OMAC1), CBC-MAC, ANSI X9.19 DES-MAC,
-       and the protocol-specific SSLv3 authentication code
-  * Secure hashes SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, Whirlpool
-  * Transition hashes SHA-1, Tiger, RIPEMD-160, RIPEMD-128, HAS-160, FORK-256
-  * Obsolete/broken hashes MD2, MD4, MD5
-  * Checksums Adler32, CRC24, CRC32
-
-Certificates
-  * X.509 certificates (including generating new self-signed and CA certs)
-  * X.509 CRLs
-  * PKCS #10 certificate requests
-  * Card Verifiable Certificates (used in ePassports)
-
-PBKDFs, KDFs, and PRFs
-  * PBKDF1 from PKCS #5 v1.5
-  * PBKDF2 from PKCS #5 v2.0
-  * OpenPGP S2K (string to key) from RFC 2440
-  * KDF1 and KDF2 from IEEE 1363
-  * PRFs from ANSI X9.42, SSL v3.0, TLS v1.0

-Higher level protocols are implemented on top of Botan by:
-
-NetSieben SSH Library (SSHv2): http://www.netsieben.com/products/ssh/
-Ajisai (SSLv3/TLSv1): http://www.randombit.net/code/ajisai/
-
-Check http://botan.randombit.net/ for announcements and news. If
-you'll be developing code using Botan, consider joining the mailing
-lists; links to subscriptions forms and the archives can be found on
-the web page. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments.
-
-Many people have contributed to Botan. They are listed in the files
-license.txt, credits.txt, and thanks.txt, all of which are included in
-the Botan source distribution.
