What is Nettle? A quote from the introduction in the Nettle Manual: Nettle is a cryptographic library that is designed to fit easily in more or less any context: In crypto toolkits for object-oriented languages (C++, Python, Pike, ...), in applications like LSH or GNUPG, or even in kernel space. In most contexts, you need more than the basic cryptographic algorithms, you also need some way to keep track of available algorithms, their properties and variants. You often have some algorithm selection process, often dictated by a protocol you want to implement. And as the requirements of applications differ in subtle and not so subtle ways, an API that fits one application well can be a pain to use in a different context. And that is why there are so many different cryptographic libraries around. Nettle tries to avoid this problem by doing one thing, the low-level crypto stuff, and providing a @emph{simple} but general interface to it. In particular, Nettle doesn't do algorithm selection. It doesn't do memory allocation. It doesn't do any I/O. The idea is that one can build several application and context specific interfaces on top of Nettle, and share the code, testcases, benchmarks, documentation, etc. For this first version, the only application using Nettle is LSH, and it uses an object-oriented abstraction on top of the library. Nettle is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation. See the file COPYING for details. Most, but not all, of Nettle can also be used under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License; please read the Copyright section of the manual if you want to exercise this option. Build nettle with the usual ./configure && make && make check && make install. Read the manual. Mail me if you have any questions or suggestions. You can also build Nettle from cvs, using cvs -d :pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/lsh login [ empty password ] cvs -d :pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/lsh co nettle If you get it from cvs, you need to build it with ./.bootstrap && ./configure && make && make check You may want to subscribe to the nettle-bugs mailing list.
