-------------------------------------------------
Date: November 6th, 2014

Qt Cryptographic Architecture (QCA)

Project Lead/Maintainer (2003-current):
Justin Karneges <justin@affinix.com>
(March 2007 - August 2007 under Barracuda Networks employment)
Description
-----------
Development, Documentation, Unittests (2004-2009):
Brad Hards <bradh@frogmouth.net>
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.
Development (2013-current)
Ivan Romanov <drizt@land.ru>
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.
Special Thanks:
Portugal Telecom (SAPO division), for sponsorship
Alon Bar-Lev, for smart card and design assistance
Jack Lloyd, for Botan and X.509 mentoring
L. Peter Deutsch, for the public domain MD5 implementation
Steve Reid, for the public domain SHA1 implementation
Jason Kim, for the CMS Signer graphics
In order for QCA to be of much use, you'll want to install some plugins.
