QCA is a library that provides an easy API for a range of cryptographic
|
|
|
|
|
features, including SSL/TLS, X.509 certificates, SASL, OpenPGP, smartcards,
|
|
|
|
|
and much more.

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.

In order for QCA to be of much use, you'll want to install some plugins.
