Functionality is supplied via plugins. This is useful for avoiding
|
|
|
|
|
dependence on a particular crypto library and makes upgrading easier,
|
|
|
|
|
as there is no need to recompile your application when adding or
|
|
|
|
|
upgrading a crypto plugin. Also, by pushing crypto functionality into
|
|
|
|
|
plugins, your application is free of legal issues, such as export
|
|
|
|
|
regulation.

And of course, you get a very simple crypto API for Qt, where you can
|
|
|
|
|
do things like:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
QString hash = QCA::SHA1::hashToString(blockOfData);

Have fun!
