Botan is a C++ class library for performing a wide variety of
cryptographic operations.

specifics. More information about the authors and contributors can be
found in credits.txt and thanks.txt. All of these files are included
in the doc/ directory of the source distribution.

You can file bugs at http://bugs.randombit.net/ or by sending a report
to the botan-devel mailing list:
  http://lists.randombit.net/mailman/listinfo/botan-devel/

In the doc directory, there should be a set of PDFs, including

building.pdf - build instructions
api.pdf - the API reference manual
tutorial.pdf - a set of simple examples and tutorials

A set of example programs can be found in the doc/examples directory.

Some higher level cryptographic protocols are implemented using
Botan in:

- NetSieben SSH Library (SSHv2)

- Ajisai (SSLv3/TLSv1)
    http://www.randombit.net/code/ajisai/

Check http://botan.randombit.net/ for announcements and new
releases. If you'll be developing code using this library, consider
joining the mailing lists to keep up to date with changes and new
releases.

As always, feel free to contact me with any questions or comments.
