PKCS #8 private keys (including -PKCS #5 encryption) and PKCS #10 certificate requests are also -included. As well as various modes, padding schemes, and so forth, -Botan supports the following basic cryptographic algorithms: - -* Public Key Algorithms: Diffie-Hellman, DSA, ElGamal, Nyberg-Rueppel, - Rabin-Williams, RSA - -* Block Ciphers: AES, Blowfish, CAST-128, CAST-256, DES, DESX, - TripleDES, GOST, IDEA, KASUMI, Noekeon, Lion, Luby-Rackoff, MARS, - MISTY1, RC2, RC5, RC6, SAFER-SK, SEED, Serpent, Skipjack, Square, - TEA, Twofish, XTEA - -* Stream Ciphers: ARC4, WiderWake4+1, Salsa20, Turing - -* Hash Functions: HAS-160, MD2, MD4, MD5, RIPEMD-128, RIPEMD-160, - SHA-160, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, Tiger, Whirlpool - -* MACs: ANSI X9.19 MAC, CMAC, HMAC +cryptographic operations.
