About:
Crypto++ is a comprehensive, free C++ class library for cryptographic algorithms and protocols. It provides implementations of symmetric and asymmetric ciphers, hashing functions, and other security primitives. The library is widely used for adding robust security features to C++ applications.
Key Features:
  • Supports AES, DES, RSA, and other major algorithms
  • Cross-platform compatibility (Windows, macOS, Linux)
  • High-performance implementation optimized for C++
  • Comprehensive suite including compression and error detection
Use Cases:
  • Securing application data with encryption
  • Implementing secure communication protocols
  • Verifying data integrity via hashing
  • Generating cryptographic keys
Alternatives:
  • OpenSSL – More complex API but includes networking protocols
  • libsodium – Modern, easier-to-use API with a focus on elliptic curve cryptography
