-Cerulean Studios, creators of the Trillian instant messaging client,
-has provided financial assistance to the project.
-
-Barry Kavanagh of AEP Systems Ltd kindly provided an AEP2000 crypto card and
-drivers, enabling the creation of Botan's AEP engine module.
-
-In addition, the following people have unknowingly contributed help
-via public domain code which has been repurposed into the library:
-
-  Dean Gaudet wrote the SSE2 implementation of SHA-1
-
-  Mike Hamburg wrote x86-64/SSSE3 assembly which was the basis for the
-  constant time AES implementation
-
-  The implementation of DES is based off a public domain implementation by Phil
-  Karn from 1994 (he, in turn, credits Richard Outerbridge and Jim Gillogly).
-
-  Rijndael and Square are based on the reference implementations written by
-  the inventors, Joan Daemen and Vincent Rijmen.
-
-  The Serpent S-boxes used were discovered by Dag Arne Osvik and detailed in
-  his paper "Speeding Up Serpent".
-
-  Matthew Skala's public domain twofish.c (as given in GnuPG 0.9.8) provided
-  the basis for my Twofish code (particularly the key schedule).
-
-  Some of the hash functions (MD5, SHA-1, etc) use an optimized implementation
-  of one of the boolean functions, which was discovered by Colin Plumb.
-
-  The design of Randpool takes some of its design principles from those
-  suggested by Eric A. Young in his SSLeay documentation, Peter Gutmann's paper
-  "Software Generation of Practically Strong Random Numbers", and the paper
-  "Cryptanalytic Attacks on Pseudorandom Number Generators", by Kelsey,
-  Schneier, Wagner, and Hall.
