-This directory contains some simple example applications for the Botan crypto
-library. If you want to see something a bit more complicated, check out the
-stuff in the checks/ directory. Both it and the files in this directory are in
-the public domain, and you may do with them however you please.
-
-The makefile assumes that you built the library with g++; you'll have to change
-it if this assumption proves incorrect.
-
-Some of these examples will not build on all configurations of the library,
-particularly 'bzip', 'encrypt', 'decrypt', and 'hash_fd', as they require
-various extensions.
-
-The examples are fairly small (50-150 lines). And that's with argument
-processing, I/O, error checking, etc (which counts for 40% or more of most of
-them). This is partially to make them easy to understand, and partially because
-I'm lazy. For the most part, the examples cover the stuff a 'regular'
-application might need.
-
-Feel free to contribute new examples. You too can gain fame and fortune by
-writing example apps for obscure libraries!
-
-The examples are:
-
-* X.509 examples
---------
-ca: A (very) simple CA application
-
-x509info: Prints some information about an X.509 certificate
-
-pkcs10: Generates a PKCS #10 certificate request for a 1024 bit RSA key
-
-self_sig: Generates a self-signed X.509v3 certificate with a 1024 bit RSA key
---------
-
-* RSA examples (also uses X.509, PKCS #8, block ciphers, MACs, PBKDF algorithms)
---------
-rsa_kgen: Generate an RSA key, encrypt the private key with a passphrase,
-          output the keys to a pair of files
-rsa_enc: Take a public key (generated by rsa_kgen) and encrypt a file
-         using CAST-128, MAC it with HMAC(SHA-1)
-rsa_dec: Decrypt a file encrypted by rsa_enc
-
-* DSA examples (also uses X.509, PKCS #8)
---------
-dsa_kgen: Generates a DSA key, encrypts the private key with a passphrase
-          and stores it in PKCS #8 format.
-dsa_sign: Produce a DSA signature for a file. Uses SHA-1
-dsa_ver: Verify a message signed with dsa_sign
-
-* Encryption examples
---------
-encrypt: Encrypt a file in CBC mode with a block cipher of your choice. Adds
-         a MAC for authentication, and compresses the plaintext with Zlib.
-
-decrypt: Decrypt the result of 'encrypt'
-
-xor_ciph: Shows how to add a new algorithm from application code
-
-* Hash function examples (also shows different methods of using Pipe)
---------
-hash: Print digests of files, using any chosen hash function
-
-hash_fd: Same as hash, except that it uses Unix file I/O. Requires the
-        pipe_unixfd extension
-
-hasher: Print MD5, SHA-1, and RIPEMD-160 digests of files
-
-hasher2: Same as hasher, just shows an alternate method
-
-stack: A demonstration of some more advanced Pipe functionality. Prints
-       MD5 hashes
-
-* Misc examples
---------
-base64: Simple base64 encoding/decoding tool
-
-bzip: Bzip2 compression/decompression.
